Klinker · Showroom
Across around 600 m² we show some 150 klinker bricks, not as single bricks but laid on large panels. So you can see your facade before it is built.
On screen, every klinker looks the same. In reality, it does not. How warm a red really is, how light glances across a sanded surface and how much the joint shapes the overall look only become clear on the wall.
That is why we do not show our klinker as single bricks but laid on large panels, in a real bond with real joints. Colour play, joint pattern and surface become visible just as they will on the facade. Central Switzerland now has a place where klinker facades can be compared side by side.
From reclaimed bricks with a history to the slender long format: the showroom covers the full range of what a klinker facade can be.
A second life for used bricks, with patina and history.
Ring kiln firing
Lively colour nuances that only the fire of the ring kiln creates.
Soft, handcrafted surfaces with gentle edges.
Clean and precise, for calm, exact facades.
Ultima long formatOur highlight
Long, slim bricks for a particularly horizontal, elegant look.
A klinker facade is more than its visible layer. That is why section models complement the sample walls. With them we discuss wall build-up, insulation, anchoring and window junctions with you, right at the model rather than only on the drawing.
Then we sit down with you at the large table: with plans, sample bricks and time. We lay bricks side by side, discuss format, bond and joint colour and answer technical questions on the spot.
As you enter, a large historic photograph greets you: the workforce of the Körbligen brickworks with their horse teams, more than a hundred years ago. It is a reminder of where we come from. We have been firing bricks here for six generations.
And the brickworks is not history, it is right next door: through the showroom windows you look straight into our brick production.
Planning a klinker facade? Bring your plans, and photos of the surroundings or the neighbouring house if you have them. So that we can make time for you, it is best to let us know briefly in advance.
