TONALITY ADS SYSTEM
High Performance Natural Clay Tiles

The Rear-ventilated
Ceramic Facade
High quality, frost resistance and durability have been inherent characteristics of TONALITY façade tiles for decades. These high-quality façade tiles distinguish themselves through their outstandingly high-quality raw materials combined with their unique colours, range of surface finishes, highly attractive joint designs and practical installation-friendly technology.
Ventilated rainscreen façade projects, whether new builds or refurbishments, when constructed from TONALITY façade tiles have proven themselves both to be highly reliable and to possess outstanding physical characteristics.
With its graffiti protection, non-combustibility and low maintenance requirements, TONALITY facades are highly recommended for multi-unit residential, public or commercial buildings at every height.
Amazing Features
& Benefits
Adaptive System (ADS)
The TONALITY façade system consists of façade tiles that are profiled on the reverse, which interlock with the vertical aluminium hanger profiles. The vertical joints between the tiles are backed by aluminium joint profiles.
Tonality offers two fastening systems, but we recommend the Tonality Adaptive System (ADS) due to its high flexibility for variable joint design, fixing locations and noise prevention.
The TONALITY ADS vertical profiles are available in system depths of 46mm, 56mm and 66mm.
Cavity depths equal system depth minus tile depth, for example 56mm system – 26mm tile = 30mm cavity.

ADS Joint Profiles
The ADS profiles allows for joint profiles with closed, subtle or open joint and even end profiles without joint. Whether you wish to work with a closed joint of 8 mm width or a nearly indiscernible 2 mm wide subtle one, the system holds the suitable solution for any design requirement. The closed joints can be realised in set back or flush-mounted versions as well.
