FAQ

What systems can special shaped tiles be fixed to?





The fixing method generally depends on the size and shape, but adhesive installation onto External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems is often preferred. Adhesive fixing gives greater flexibility in positioning and alignment, helping architects achieve the fine detailing and crisp finishes that these products are designed to deliver. This approach ensures both long-term performance and the freedom for you to pursue your intended aesthetic vision.

What colours are available?





All finishes from the Rairies Montrieux collection can be specified, ranging from natural terracotta hues to refined engobed tones and vibrant glazed colours. This spectrum allows projects to either blend seamlessly into their context or introduce striking visual accents. The choice of colour not only defines the character of your facade, but also influences how light interacts with its surface throughout the day.

Can bespoke shapes or tiles be designed?





Yes, bespoke options are available and can be tailored to meet the precise requirements of your design. Working in collaboration with architects and contractors, we can adapt existing formats or develop completely new profiles that bring unique details to your facade. While additional design charges may apply, the result is a custom solution that enriches both the functionality and the architectural character of your building project.

Is there a minimum order quantity?





There is no fixed minimum order for our special shaped products, making them suitable for both small detailing and large-scale projects. However, smaller or highly customised orders may involve longer lead times to accommodate production schedules.

How can special shaped bricks and tiles influence the overall design?





Special shaped bricks and tiles are often used to introduce depth, rhythm, and individuality to a facade. They can create shadow lines, accentuate corners, frame openings, or bring a sense of movement across a building's surface. By combining these shapes with different bonds, colours, or textures, architects can achieve facades that are both technically precise and visually distinctive, turning functional details into key design features.
