exterior porcelain cladding panels in Toronto

Porcelain Panels are advanced cladding materials used for exterior facades, known for their extreme durability and low water absorption rate of less than 0.1%. These panels are fired to achieve a vitrified state, making them virtually impervious to moisture and ideal for all climate conditions.

Unlike standard porcelain or ceramic tiles, technical Porcelain Panels are engineered specifically for exterior use with enhanced durability. They absorb less than 0.1% of water, compared to up to 3.0% for ceramic and 0.5% for standard porcelain, making them nearly as impervious as glass.

Yes, Porcelain Panels are suitable for all climate zones. Their resistance to thermal expansion, contraction, and freeze-thaw cycles makes them a reliable choice for both extremely cold and hot environments.

Porcelain Panels are made from naturally occurring materials like kaolin, quartz, and feldspar, which are sourced near our manufacturing facilities to reduce transportation emissions. The panels are also completely recyclable, contributing to a lower overall carbon footprint.

Porcelain Panels exceed all ICC Fire Resistance Requirements and are classified as non-combustible materials. When used with an open joint cladding system, they meet additional fire code requirements, including ASTM E119, NFPA 285, and ASTM E136.

Absolutely. Porcelain Panels offer true aesthetic versatility, available in a range of finishes including textures that mimic wood, metallics, stone, and concrete. CanaArch assists in customizing these panels to meet specific design requirements, ensuring a perfect fit for your architectural vision.
