About CERASHIELD and CERAMAX
CERASHIELD is the facade brand of the company CERAMAX, developer, system provider and producer of large-format ceramic facade panels based on Hybridceramic. The material consists of clay, granite, metamorphic rock with silicate minerals (feldspar) and ceramic pigments and is manufactured in a special hybrid process at temperatures above 1,200 °C. This makes jumbo formats up to 150 x 320 cm possible at a material thickness of 3–4 mm; the panels are non-combustible (fire resistance class A1) and resistant to weathering, UV radiation and chemical cleaning agents. Production takes place in a specially equipped plant near Hanover, where XXL panels are also cut to size, factory-bonded to aluminium adapter profiles (CERATEC ECO-G) and assembled into ready-to-install facade modules up to 400 cm in height. Distribution is handled by CERASHIELD | DM Sales GmbH in Hamburg, selling directly to skilled fabricators, accompanied by consulting, training and project support for architects, planners and building owners. The system can be used in all EU member states with the European Technical Approval ETA-16/0096 (DIBt); exports go to Europe and English-speaking countries.
