Frontek facade cladding panels are extruded ceramics in vitrified porcelain that have excellent technical attributes for the cladding of facades: extremely hard, light in comparison to other large format ceramics, highly resistant and long-lasting, with low water absorption and excellent performance against weather and the most demanding environmental conditions.
Frontek offers a wide range of products in different sizes and finishes to suit the latest trends in architecture. Different sizes, textures and colours can be combined in different ways to give each facade a unique and original design.
Frontek cladding panels have been used worldwide in all construction environments. We have international project references in residential, retail, hospitality, office, industrial, public transport facilities, and hospitals.
Frontek offer a range of technical solutions for every installation from the simplest to the most demanding. We have installation system’s for every supporting structure & requirement.
Frontek is manufactured by “Greco Gres Internacional whose origins date back to 1940. The experience gained over decades in the manufacturing of high-tech ceramic products, has positioned their companies nationally and internationally as a benchmark of quality in the manufacturing of ventilated facade systems composed of extruded porcelain panels.
Let your imagination run riot. We have a design team that can help you find that special finish specific to your needs and our engineers will help you design and dress your building facade cladding.
