Pitched roof specialist expands portfolio to include facade

38% of global greenhouse gas emissions originate from the construction and operation of buildings. The change in the construction industry shows that something has to change. Sustainable building is no longer a trend, it is becoming an integral part of every construction project. A natural clay facade is the first step towards natural building - the right solution for all pioneers and climate changers when it comes to sustainable building. 
 

• As natural raw materials, loam and clay contribute to sustainable and healthy construction
• The cradle-to-cradle certification in the silver category recognizes MOTIO for the fact that the clay facade can be completely dismantled and recycled at the end of its first product life cycle
• Can be used in new builds as a sustainable residential property or for renovations in terms of energy-efficient refurbishment
• Natural facades without any chemicals: clay is mixed with loam to produce our MOTIO - two natural and proven materials that do not require any additives
• Raw material with tradition: We have over 130 years of experience with clay as a raw material and know its positive properties: protection against moisture and frost, diffusible and fire-resistant, UV-resistant, durable
   

Do you love special and beautiful objects and would describe yourself as a trendsetter? Then our MOTIO facade tile is the ideal solution when it comes to creating an aesthetically pleasing building envelope. The natural colors and surfaces allow you to create unique and extravagant design objects - your facade is guaranteed to be an eye-catcher!
 

• Design of individual and stylish building envelopes possible thanks to large selection of colors and surfaces
• Realization of your own ideas: individual colors and surfaces can be created on request
• Every tile is unique and therefore every clay facade is also unique
• Creating contrasts: while the smooth surface gives facades a modern and elegant touch, houses with a brushed or granulated surface are given a used or handmade look
• Unlimited design possibilities through combination with other materials such as plaster, wood, metal, natural stone or other materials

The greatest heat loss in a house occurs on the outer façade and amounts to up to 30%. It is therefore not surprising that the facade, as a large-scale building envelope, is usually the focus of attention during an energy-efficient renovation. This is because a well-insulated facade can quickly save up to 20% on heating costs per year. All savers should therefore pay particular attention!

• MOTIO as a ventilated rainscreen facade: savings on heating costs, improvement of the indoor climate, heat protection in summer, protection of the building fabric, mold prevention through air circulation
• One-off investment costs: Due to the durability of the material, a clay facade will last for several decades; repeated investments such as a new coat of paint are not necessary
• Investments in your own home lead to an increase in value and provide the building with future potential: the newly gained longevity of the building means that it will also provide living space for future generations

Tight construction site times, difficult planning due to unpredictable weather events or delays due to other trades - these are just some of the issues that fabricators and end customers have to contend with. Our MOTIO façade tile is therefore the ideal solution for all active future designers when things need to be quick, easy and simple:

• Quick and easy installation ensures shorter construction site times: Laying the facade tile is similar to that of the roof tile
• Independence from other trades: Carpenter or roof tradesman can also offer facade, so that fewer trades and work steps are required
