It is also not prone to etching or weathering. Natural limestone, on the other hand, is traditionally a porous material, which can lead to efflorescence and material failures due to freeze\/thaw cycles. This gives Ceramitex a massive benefit as we are not only weather resistant but also graffiti resistant, outlasting the natural products.<\/p> <p>Slab sizes for Ceramitex come in at an astounding 4\u2019x12\u2019 and 5\u2019x10\u20196\u201d while maintaining a \u00bc\u201d thickness, and a total system weight of 4lbs\/SF.<\/p> <p>Install for limestone systems have a few different ways.<\/p> <ul> <li>Handset cladding<\/li> <li>Direct Bond<\/li> <li>Rainscreen application<\/li> <\/ul> <p>Ceramitex install is fast and efficient and our panels are coming prefabricated to your specifications and show up on site ready to install. We use a concealed attachment clip system that sets our joint spacing automatically and consistently with a crisp 1\/2\u201d joint, while concealing any fasteners or insulation through the joints.<\/p> <p>The best feature of all is that with Ceramitex we use our miter corners to a max of 2\u2019, so we can have returns into the head\/jam and sills of windows and doors! We can also miter outside corners, parapets and soffits.<\/p> <p>Ceramitex has a large range of colors and finishes with new designs every year, including a number of colors comparable to natural limestone.<\/p> <p>So next time you\u2019re thinking about limestone, think about Ceramitex instead for better performance and longevity!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s episode we will be discussing Ceramitex\u00ae, our sintered ceramic cladding vs limestone cladding.
