Pura Facades Appointed Sole UK Distributor of Tonality Terracotta

PURA Facades – the country’s leading supplier of natural, non-combustible cladding products – has been appointed as the exclusive distributor of Tonality terracotta tiles in the UK. Already known for its supply of Austrian-manufactured glass reinforced concrete (GRC) panels from Rieder, Pura also designs, engineers, fabricates and delivers on a just-in-time basis to construction projects across the UK.

Tonality Terracotta Tiles

The addition of Tonality to Pura’s portfolio is an exciting development for contractors in the UK, providing them with a consistent and reliable supply of high-quality terracotta tiles that are manufactured to the highest quality standards in Germany. Architects will appreciate that Tonality tiles are made from the world famous Westerwald clay and manufactured using the Kerlis sinter kiln method, thereby justifiably claiming to be among the best terracotta façade products on the market.

Tonality create a clean, chic look for this new mixed development in Leuven, Belgium.

The breadth and quality of the coloured glazes available is second to none, and have been widely used on many projects the world over. Available in more than 50 standard colours (and in seven surface finishes), the Tonality range provides architects and developers with a huge range of creative and aesthetic possibilities for their projects. Tiles are available in large sizes, up to 600m x 2m, providing better coverage than other terracotta manufacturers. Tonality is also available in lamella, baguette and brise soleil shapes.

James Butler, Commercial Director of Pura Facades

Commenting on the exclusive appointment, Commercial Director of Pura Facades, James Butler, said: “Pura’s ethos is based on high quality products backed up by great service. That’s why we are so pleased to be representing the Tonality brand in the UK. While the quality of its tiles is second to none, the cost of Tonality products is remarkably competitive. That’s why we are sure there is a very bright future for this brand of terracotta facades in the UK.”

Given the high aesthetic possibilities, A1 safety rating, sustainability and relatively low cost of the Tonality range, Pura is predicting strong demand for this product choice as the UK economy emerges from the dampening effects of the coronavirus.
