ALPHATON® - Terra Cotta Double Leaf TilesAlphaton Introduction ALPHATON® terra cotta double leaf tiles were co-invented by Moeding as the first tiles for building facades. Moeding also invented the clip and aluminum horizontal attachment system. The earliest version has been in use for 24 years. The name ALPHATON® comes from the Greek word Alpha which means “first” and the German word Ton which means “clay.” ALPHATON® tiles are 1 3/8” (30mm) thick and are available in heights up to 12” and lengths up to 36”. These tiles are sized in inches or millimeters. The dimensions are measured from center line to center line of the joints. The tiles and support system weigh ten pounds per square foot. In 2006 Moeding introduced Generation 06 which is a substantially improved tile shape which is patented and much stronger than the previous shape. The benefit is much larger tiles in the thinner ALPHATON® format. Alphaton Sizes ALPHATON® tile is available in 9 different standard formats, from 150 to 300 mm, and in lengths of up to 1000 mm.
The ALPHATON® ribbed panel A wide range of panel surfaces leaves much room for individual composition with ALPHATON® brick façades such as the ALPHATON® ribbed panel whose characteristic feature is its horizontal structure. The panel's ribbed structure camouflages the horizontal seams between panels. Far from being merely a design element, the ALPHATON® ribbed panel is also an active acoustic façade. Sound waves are broken by the ribs on the panel's surface and are redirected into the insulation through openings in the panel. An absorption of DLalpha = 3 dB can thus be achieved.
The ALPHATON® deep grooved facade The horizontal grooves divide the structure of the panel surface into three, thus creating an interesting pattern of smaller elements. The ALPHATON® deep grooved façade panel is available in 9 different standard formats from 150 to 250 mm and in lengths of up to 500 mm. The complete ALPHATON® 18 colour range is available. The deep grooved panel can be installed reliably and economically in conjunction with a rein-forced horizontal Moeding substructure. The panel can thus be combined with the ALPHATON® and LONGOTON® base system.
The ALPHATON® waved facade Playful soft transitions of light and shade are the special features here, forming a calm floating effect. The ALPHATON® waved façade panel is available in 9 different standard formats from 150 to 250 mm and in lengths of up to 500 mm. The complete ALPHATON® 18 colour range is available. The waved panel can be installed reliably and economically in conjunction with a reinforced horizontal Moeding substructure. The panel can thus be combined with the ALPHATON® and LONGOTON® base system.
The ALPHATON® grooved facade The filigree grooves lend the panel surface a light appearance and underline the façade's horizontals. The ALPHATON® grooved façade panel is available in 9 different standard formats from 150 to 250 mm and in lengths of up to 500 mm. The complete ALPHATON® 18 colour range is available. The grooved panel can be installed reliably and economically in conjunction with a reinforced horizontal Moeding substructure. The panel can thus be combined with the ALPHATON® and LONGOTON® base system. Alphaton Glazing Our tiles are also available with a glazed finish. This picture is only a demonstration of the process. Custom colors are available upon request.
