Braving the Elements – Exterior Surfaces By Artedomus

Artedomus’s range of premium exterior surfaces brings rise to a world of beautiful and functional architectural cladding and outdoor materials. Spanning natural stone, architectural ceramics and porcelain panels, this sophisticated and hardwearing range promises to inspire exteriors designed with the same level of intent and purpose as a transformative interior.

The Artedomus exterior surfaces range is particularly pertinent due to a demonstrated need for well-designed and well-made cladding options, alongside an increasing demand for high quality, durable products. Pairing innovation and artisanship with design flair, these materials – which include natural stone, terracotta, Japanese INAX ceramic tiles and large format porcelain tiles – allow for a softer, more considered approach to cladding and exterior surfaces. Each of these highly durable materials offers long term resistance against wind, rain, salt and fire, making them ideal for all Australian climates and settings, be it along the rugged southern coastline or in the vast and unforgiving outback.

Natural stone is a popular option for residential spaces; the textural, characterful qualities of this material are unrivalled. The Artedomus collection includes limestones, marbles, sandstones, bluestones, and rare technical patterned stones, all applicable for cladding, swimming pool surrounds and paving. Meanwhile, the Cotto Manetti Italian terracotta offer a natural materiality for an engineered façade, cladding or paving with an earthy finish and tactile quality.

Available exclusively at Artedomus, Japanese INAX ceramic tiles are renowned for strength, durability and aesthetics in equal measure. Comprised of at least 40 per cent recycled materials, they are crafted to effectively cover joins in concrete slabs, as well as wrap effortlessly around curves and right angles, giving a seamless finish. They are easy to install and when arranged vertically, they further resist mud, dirt, dust, gas emissions, soot, and smoke – protecting both the inhabitants and the building’s internal structure.

Artedomus’ large format porcelain tiles are a striking and hardwearing option. While lightweight, the long-lasting composition makes these expansive tiles ideal for cladding. They are also UV-stable and non-combustible. Standouts from the range include the MAXIMUM Travertino, which emulates the warm, textural qualities of natural travertine, and Fiandre’s MAXIMUM porcelain panels; with minimal joins, they are perfect for coastal areas prone to salt damage from saline winds.

With a focus that extends beyond interiors, furniture and objects to the exteriors that dot the Australian landscape and define the outdoors, Artedomus’s range of exterior surfaces reflects the company’s vision to contribute to architecture in a holistic way.
