EPD GROUP 2
Revolution Over Evolution
Be Inspired. There’s something exciting about working on a grand scale. Seeing a building come to life in a way that expresses the vision of the architect. And what better way to make this statement real than through a façade that announces a project to the world? Which is precisely why we have launched Eco Friendly Facades as a specialist division within Eco Friendly Tiles.
Revolution over Evolution. When you think about ceramic products, do you think of the heat shielding ceramic that protects astronauts during re-entry or, the white hot ceramic brakes on a high performance vehicle?
Our Engineered Ceramic Panel (ECP™) is an advanced high performance large format panel that is raising the standard for façade materials…
It’s this and more that excites us about bringing this product to market.
Sincerely
Margot & Brandon

ENGINEERED CERAMIC PANEL (ECP™) AT A GLANCE
Product description: Made entirely of natural materials, primarily clay fired in excess of 1,300 °C, compressed at 30,000 tons.
Lifespan: Over 50 years
Natural: Formed from 95% natural minerals.
Colour Integrity: In excess of 50 years, backed by a factory warranty of 25 years regardless of colour or global location.
Damage Resistance: Pioneering technology allows performance on par with granite.
Graffiti: All graffiti can easily be removed by application of solvent or acid-based cleaners. ECPTM panel is fungal, algal and acid resistant.
Maintenance: Reduced maintenance required due to closed cell surface and ultra-low porosity.
Fire: Engineered Ceramic Panels are fired in excess of 1,300 °C, and as such have an A1 fire classification. In situations that an impact security mesh is required the mesh has an A2 - s1, d0 fire classification.
Environment: The ECPTM panel with a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and product specific Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
Summary: ECPTM is a pioneering, engineering achievement, using the most natural of materials, clay. Allowing previously unachievable dimensions and performance, forming a facade panel that overall out performs all other alternatives. It has the hardness of granite and the maintenance and longevity of glass, with unparalleled colour fast properties.
ECP™ FACADE PANEL SYSTEMS
VENTILATED RAINSCREEN - CONCEALED MECHANICAL ANCHOR
Concealed Anchor (Mechanical)
CONCEALED MECHANICAL ANCHOR
Suitable for use on buildings in all degrees of exposure and all locations without height restrictions (subject to engineering calculations).
The system is lightweight at approximately 30 kg/m2, reducing loadings on frame and foundations leading to potential superstructure savings. It has a simple installation method and a variety of corner treatment options available.
ADVANTAGES
• Can be installed rapidly and invisible fixing provides greater design scope.
• The effect is a continuous facade with no visible framing.
• Easy to replace panels without dislodging
• Can be installed on site or unitised.
• Excellent fire resistance, UV resistance and weathering properties.
INSULATED - SPANDREL PANEL
CWCT TESTED DETSET
INSULATED - SPANDREL PANEL
Ideal for unitised curtain walls.
Assembled in a highly controlled factory environment, ensuring the highest standards of consistent quality.
Easily coordinates with all fenestration systems.
Meets the most demanding of U-values through high levels of insulation, increasing energy efficiency. Superior U-value to normal back painted glazed spandrel panels.
ADVANTAGES
• Arrives on site, fully fabricated for rapid installation.
• A sustainable alternative to double-glazed opaque spandrel glass.
• Can be installed as a monolithic panel - with the added benefits of excellent thermal, air and water performance.
