Self-Washing Effect
The Hydrotect coating* of the ceramicsurface is a strong argument for using
rain screen cladding systems from Agrob
Buchtal. When rain falls, dirt and impurities
are washed down the ceramic surface by
the so-called self-washing effect. In
addition, the hydrophilic surface helps
decompose algae, fungi and moss. The
maintenance requirement of traditional
cladding materials increases with time.
Hydrotect-coated ceramics remain self-
washing thereby reducing costs short
and long term.
