Material
in architecture.

The form of a building begins with its materials. A perlite base connects facades, interior finishes and wall solutions, leaving room for different architectural ideas.

From the sample
to the design detail.

A well-designed detail brings out the material’s character. Here is what to agree before ordering.

Start with the surface

Compare smooth and textured samples in natural light. Agree the module size, pattern direction and visible joints before finalising the layout.

Then the construction detail

Check the substrate, fixings, corners and window junctions. Panels and blocks need to work as a system with adjacent materials.

And the conditions of use

Outdoor use involves moisture and temperature changes; interiors bring acoustics, touch and cleaning into focus. Record the requirements in the project specification.

Beyond the surface
there is more material.

A project includes more than visible surfaces. The catalogue also covers partition panels, insulation solutions for chimney and sewer pipes, and perlite filler in bitumen waterproofing. Each is selected for its system requirements.
