Frost Resistant Granite Look Glazed Ceramic Insulation Panel 30mm Facade

Frost Resistant Granite Look Glazed Ceramic Insulation Panel 30mm Facade

In short: Frost resistant glazed ceramic insulation panel, 30 mm, 0.6 percent absorption, Class A1, for cold climate facades and freezing exposure.

In a cold climate the failure mode is water freezing inside the panel, expanding and spalling the decorated face. This frost resistant glazed ceramic insulation panel is sintered to a 0.6 percent water absorption and tested through 25 freeze thaw cycles with no cracking or flaking, so the granite look face stays intact through winter after winter.

The glazed surface is fired onto the ceramic body, not applied as a coating, so de icing salt and freeze thaw movement do not peel it away. At 30 mm and about 7.5 kg/m2 the panel also adds an insulation layer, which reduces thermal shock at the wall line in heated buildings.

Core Advantages

• Class A1 Fire Performance: This frost resistant glazed ceramic insulation panel 30mm cold climate facade is non-combustible from surface to core to GB 8624, with no dripping, no heavy smoke and no toxic gas release, which suits cold climate facades and buildings exposed to repeated freeze thaw cycles.
• Fired-in Granite Look Pattern: The granite look grain facade cladding is generated in the body at 1200C, so it does not peel, chalk or fade like a printed or coated surface.
• Low Dead Load: About 45 kg/m2 at 30 mm, roughly one quarter of a 30 mm granite look slab, which keeps anchors, keel steel and crane time down.
• Stable Colour Lot to Lot: A fixed pigment recipe and firing curve hold the granite look grain facade cladding inside the approved tolerance on repeat orders.
• Weather and Pollution Resistance: Closed cells and a sintered skin resist water penetration, 25 freeze-thaw cycles and urban staining; cleaning needs water, not chemical stone restorers.
• 25 Freeze Thaw Cycles Without Damage: Tested to GB/T 5486 through 25 cycles with no cracking, flaking or strength loss, which suits cold climate facades.

Technical Data

Application

• Cold climate office and residential facades
• Municipal buildings in northern and alpine regions
• Cold store and freezer building exteriors
• Transport hubs with freeze thaw exposure
• Industrial buildings in high altitude sites

Installation & Fixing

Lay on a compacted sand and gravel bed for pedestrian areas, or on adjustable pedestals for roof terraces. Keep a 3-5 mm joint and use a polymeric jointing sand for exterior exposure.

Packing

The frost resistant glazed ceramic insulation panel 30mm cold climate facade is supplied on plywood pallets with PE film, corner protection and edge guards, about 1.2 tons per pallet, loaded into 20ft or 40ft containers with fumigation-free packing. Store under cover, keep pallets level and avoid point loads on the decorated face. Special sizes, corner pieces and window returns can be produced to drawing.

FAQ

Q: What frost test does it pass?

A: 25 freeze thaw cycles to GB/T 5486 with no cracking, flaking or loss of flexural strength on the finished panel.

Q: Does de icing salt damage the glaze?

A: The fired glaze resists de icing salt; we recommend fresh water washing at the end of each winter season to remove salt residue.

Q: Can it be used on a cold store exterior?

A: Yes, with a drained cavity and stainless fixings; the panel is Class A1 and does not absorb water into the body.
