STX

— Ceramic Architectural Panels

STX Ceramic

Fired-ceramic cladding with low water absorption, freeze-thaw resistance, and lasting color. STX adds a refined, tactile finish to civic, cultural, and academic buildings while meeting modern performance standards.

Custom made Laminam sintered ceramic tile faced, modular wall and soffit panel system. System uses a rear ventilated dry joint, rain screen construction.

Made from a blend of fine-grain clays and other minerals to produce a very dense body, which makes ceramic highly resistant to moisture, staining and wear. It will withstand years of heavy weathering in exterior façade applications while maintaining its color and beauty. A rain screen system for non-combustible construction.

Available plank sizes:

  • Laminam 3+ (3.5mm) is available in 1000mm x 3000mm slab size.
  • Laminam 5 (5.6mm) is available in 1000mm x 3000mm and 1620mm x 3240mm.

Exposed STX panel extrusions black anodized as standard or painted with a PPG/ Duranar color or anodized to compliment ceramic tile.

Prefabricated mitered tile corners are available.
