ALPHATON® terracotta façades
Material and colours
In the early 80’s the architect, professor Thomas Herzog,
became interested in the concept of a curtained ceramic
façade and together with the Möding roof tile plant
developed this into a system.
Thanks to its ideal characteristics, the traditional tile material
blends in perfectly with both new and historic architectural
forms. Over decades, it ages with an elegant patina.
This system was the impetus for the Argeton façade that
has been produced by Möding for more than 20 years,
and which has been used on thousands of square meters
of façade.
The materials, haptics and natural colours of special
elements, shading elements and design elements all
perfectly ma
tch the MOEDING façade tiles. The special
elements are available in many different natural tile
colours. Project-specific special colours are also possible.
Following the acquisition by Girnghuber GmbH in 2001, the
façade system was further developed and the use of the
Argeton product name was dispensed with. A separate sales
company, Moeding Keramikfassaden GmbH, was founded.
The natural tile colours are the inherent colours of the
ceramic body, which means that neither cuts nor surface
damage can cause the appearance of a visually disturbing,
different-coloured body.
Argeton turned into ALPHATON®.
Powerful glaze colours, which are usually developed with the
planner on a project-specific basis, are particularly popular.
Over recent years, planners’ desires for increasingly
customized façade solutions have become extremely
apparent. To fulfill these desires, the maximum size of the
ALPHATON® and LONGOTON® tiles has been increased.
Many building-specific customized solution
s have been
created and diverse tile surfaces with three-dimensional
structures have already been manufactured. Furthermore,
shading or design elements made from tile material have
also been used for many properties.

Baguettes as a sunscreen
in front of windows or glass façades
Baguette façade elements are often used as square tubes.
In front of windows or glass façades, the baguettes act as
an effective yet attractive sunscreen. As the material and
haptics of the baguettes match those of the terracotta
façades, they blend harmoniously into the overall façade
picture. The baguettes can take on the façade pattern.
Baguettes as square tubes are available in many sizes from
40 x 40 mm to 90 x 90 mm.
As an alternative to the commonly used square tubes,
customized cross sections are also possible. Whether
circular, oval or wing-shaped – the planner’s creativity
knows no bounds.
04
Special shapes
Individual tile elements can have lengths of up
to 1,000 mm.
If larger widths need to be spanned, it is possible to use a
system-specific aluminum tube to join multiple tile elements
to form a single prefabricated element. Lengths of up to
2,500 mm can therefore be realized. All tile colours glazed
or non glazed in the MOEDING ALPHATON® and MOEDING
LONGOTON® colour range are available.

Baguettes as a design element
in front of closed façade surfaces
Their technical projects, the design options and the haptic
experience that they offer make baguettes ideal for creating
a sense of harmony in front of closed surfaces.
They can create special effects that make the overall façade
less harsh and more structured.
Ventilation openings, air conditioning systems and other
installations can
therefore be easily and attractively
integrated into the overall façade concept.

Baguettes in multi-story parking lots
One special usage scenario for MOEDING baguettes is on
multi-story parking lots.
Parking lots in downtown locations in particular have high
demands when it comes to design. Furthermore, the façade
material must be non-flammable, let in natural light and
provide sufficient ventilation.
These requirements are ideally fulfilled by MOEDING
baguettes.

Baguettes and special tiles combined
One special option is the combination of baguettes with
a square cross section and other special tiles.
The surface of the tiles is designed so that the form of
the baguettes continues onto the tiles. This strengthens
the homogeneous appearance of the façade.

Square baguettes with an oblong cross section
As an alternative to the square cross section, baguettes
can also be manufactured with an oblong cross section.
The oblong cross section creates a more solid look with
a greater sense of depth.

Triangular baguettes
Baguettes with a triangular cross section are particularly
suited as shading elements for glass surfaces on tilecovered, sloping roofs.
For example, the triangular shape of the baguette can
precisely match the roof slope and create a harmonious
image of the roof area as a whole.
While the users of the top floor can enjoy natural light,
observers from the street simply see a closed tile surface.
This solution is not only perfect for the protection of historic
buildings, but also creates a more attractive and, above all,
more valuable living area beneath the roof.

Ovale baguettes
The use of shading elements with an oval cross section is
particularly popular in front of transparent glass façades.
The oval cross section shape gives the elements a lig

elements can be installed horizontally or at an angle.

Shading elements for
targeted daylight management
As a result of increasing energy costs, controlled daylight
management is becoming ever more important. The
darkening effect conflicts with the desired shading effect,
which can create substantial energy savings when cooling
buildings. The shading elements darken rooms to an extent
that artificial light is often required.
The innovative use of ceramic shading elements can
minimize the darkening effect. One option is to mount
shading elements in a mobile format. The rotatable
mounting of the shading elements makes it possible to
manage the darkening effect in a targeted manner. In
a
ddition to the higher investment cost for a drive and
control system, however, such systems also require more
maintenance.
A light management effect can also be achieved with
rigid-mounted shading elements if the cross section of the
shading elements is tailored to the natural conditions.

Architects and planners are continually placing higher
demands on manufacturers of ceramic façade systems.
More and more elements are used that can no longer be
manufactured using the conventional extrusion procedure.
Thanks to over 100 years of experience in manufacturing
ceramic materials, MOEDING can supply hand-made
special elements.
20
Special shapes
The special elements are developed in close cooperation
with the planner. During the development process, equal
weighting is
given to both the design of the special elements
in line with the planer’s specifications and the ability to
simple and securely mount the special element. Every highly
complicated special element must satisfy the high demands
placed on a MOEDING terracotta façade.

Fastening technology
The ability to fasten shading elements securely and simply
is of major importance in façade construction. The fastening
options for the shading elements are therefore as diverse
as the usage options. Despite the vast range of designs,
standardized fastening solutions can often be used. At the
sites where the standardized solutions cannot be used,
MOEDING works in close cooperation with the planer and
the company carrying out the work to develop projectspecific fastening solutions.
The mos
t common standardized fastening solution for
shading elements is the MOEDING Rapid for fastening
baguettes. This comprises aluminum base plates and
aluminum baguette holders. The base plates each have
two sunken boreholes for attachment to the on-site bracing.
A special stainless steel spring is integrated into the
base plate.
The baguette holders are in the same shape as the tile
baguette and have a recess in the shape of the base plate.
22
Special shapes
The base plates with integrated stainless steel springs can
be pre-assembled on the substructure in the workshop by
the company carrying out the work. The tile baguettes arrive
at the construction site with pre-assembled baguette holders and are simply clicked into the base plates without
any need for tools. No more screws are required at the
construction site.
The stainless steel spring integrated into the base plate
locks into place in the baguette holder and secures the
baguette against any unintentional removal. Speed and
safe
ty are not mutually exclusive.
The baguette holders are available for all common baguette
cross sections (e. g. square tubes, oblong tubes).
Baguette holders for the Rapid system can also be supplied
for project-specific special cross sections of baguettes
(e. g. wing-shaped).

Colours
The shading elements and special elements can all be
supplied in the broad natural colour spectra available
for MOEDING ALPHATON® and MOEDING LONGOTON®.
The decision as to whic
h of the two colour spectra can
be used must be individually agreed on the basis of
the design desired by the planner. Special colours are
possible on request.

Colours
Of course, glazes can also be used. The glaze colours shown
