COMPANY
PALAGIO's rear-ventilated tile facade systems with rainscreen cladding have an extremely positive influence on the energy balance of every building. PALAGIO tile facade systems consist of an aluminum substructure, to which the brick facade elements are attached. The appearance of the brick tiles is highly individual – for our aim is to fulfil the planners' wishes 100% in each project.
