Arctix
A complete system for ventilated façade cladding for new builds and refurbishments.
A lightweight concrete block made from cement, white marble and natural colour pigments.
Behind the cladding blocks is a ventilated air gap that keeps the wall and insulation dry and in good condition. A concept suitable for both small and large buildings.
Ventilated wall cladding
As early as 1970, we launched our ventilated façade system, which is developed and manufactured in Sweden. Air flows behind the façade blocks to keep the wall and the insulation dry and in good condition. Our façade system is simple and time-efficient to work with, and can be installed all year round in most weather conditions.
A cladding brick with very high frost resistance that is hooked onto vertical hot-dip galvanised profiles with a locking mechanism. There is a 20 mm ventilated air gap between the brick and the wall or insulation behind it. In the event of damage, individual bricks can be easily replaced. A complete façade system for new builds and refurbishments, including external façade insulation up to 250 mm, for façade heights up to 100 m.
Developed and manufactured in Sweden 
European Technical Approval for façade heights of up to 100 metres.
ETA 16/0847
Appearance
Solid-coloured stones in 38 standard colours. Special colours can be ordered according to the NCS colour scale. The surface is smooth or slightly textured. The stones are laid with straight or staggered vertical joints. Façade patterns featuring different sizes and colours can be easily created.

An Arctix façade with additional insulation reduces energy consumption, leading to greater cost savings
The Arctix façade has several features that give it good resistance to various weather conditions
With the Arctix façade, you can choose from a range of formats, textures and colours to create a façade that will stand the test of time
An Arctix façade generally takes less time to install than other façades, which saves time and money
The Arctix façade, with its unique design, withstands ground movements considerably better than other façades
An Arctix façade offers good fire resistance
Installation
Vertical fixing profiles, with a locking mechanism, are fixed directly to the substrate using screws. A 20 mm ventilation gap is created between the back of the cladding and the wall. When adding insulation, for façade heights of up to 100 metres, spacer battens, insulation and wind protection are fitted to the existing wall, followed by the fixing profiles and façade bricks. See Support Structure.

The original
The technology has been in existence since 1970 and is Sweden’s oldest type approval, Sitac No. 1356/70. The system is now also European-approved (ETA 16/0847) and is approved for use on buildings up to 100 metres in height.
From its launch in 1970, the product was called Coloroc. In the mid-1980s, the name was changed to Marmoroc as the product was developed and enhanced with crushed marble. The concrete blocks are of the lightweight ‘screen brick’ type and are easy to install.
Behind the blocks is our tried-and-tested air gap, which ventilates the façade and keeps the wall and insulation dry and in good condition.
Today, Marmoroc is a broader concept encompassing products and technology; the concrete block is now known as Arctix.
Developed and manufactured in Sweden
A solution for damaged façades
It is not uncommon for the Marmoroc system to have been used to restore damp-damaged brick, render and timber façades, even on relatively new buildings.
