The new System Plural plus 1 2 3 Surfaces, sizes, colours: creativity 3
The new variety: combining with creativity, experiencing with the senses. Right from the start, the System Plural has been more than just a versatile tile programme: thanks to its consistently modular structure, its carefully matched variety of colours, sizes and surfaces, it has established itself as an architectural design system which permits harmonious comprehensive solutions in the most diverse areas of application. To make sure that Plural will be well prepared to make its contribution to the realization of the most varied architectural concepts also in future, the successful system has now been carefully but extensively further developed: Plural plus is convincing by its new, up-to-date colour range, the intelligently enlarged modular system of sizes and innovative surface structures which convey a new sensory experience also from the haptic point of view. Result: Plural plus opens completely new horizons for creative combining. And of course, you can rely on our competent in-house planning department and the first-class quality from German production in future as well. This is guaranteed by the name Agrob Buchtal. For more than four decades. 2
System Plural plus 1 2 3 1 2 3 Series Plural plus Series Plural plus Series Plural plus Glazed silky-matt or glossy, the earthenware wall tiles of the series Plural plus 1 prove above all in medical facilities, sanitary areas and hotel bathrooms. The new oblong formats and the considerably enlarged colour range offer almost unlimited possibilities of individual design also in combination with the other series of the system. As all colours and sizes including the mosaics are available with slip-resistant surface on request, Plural plus 2 is also perfectly suitable for wellness areas and sanitary rooms. The enormous variety of glazed stoneware tiles for the wall and the floor is complemented by useful high-quality special pieces such as e.g. a ceramic shower tub system. The unglazed porcelain stoneware tiles of the series Plural plus 3 cover various slipresistance groups and can be universally used thanks to their wide range of colours. Two of the highlights of the series are an extensive programme of special pieces and new designer surfaces, which create an ambience of impressive aesthetics as rectified large-size tiles. 3
SURFACES The optimal solution in every situation. The decision in favour of a certain tile surface can have practical reasons (easy cleaning), it can be based on requirements of the trade association (slip resistance) or on aesthetic considerations. The new System Plural plus with its unique variety of different surfaces offers the appropriate solution in every case. The range extends from silky-matt and glossy glazes to unglazed porcelain stoneware and on to slip-resistant profiled and finegrained surfaces. The new Design surfaces, which are slip-resistant as well, are also ideal for sophisticated wall design. This applies to the noble Design Olymp just as to the vivid dotted structure of the Design Point or the striking surface of the Design Yukon which combines a natural stone look with architectural functional elements and in this way creates unusual effects. 4

COLOURS Colours Plural plus 1+ 2 Versatile design with new harmonious colours. With its newly developed colours, the System Plural plus responds to the current trends in architecture: planners from all over the world can choose from among a wide range of colour sequences harmoniously matched to each other which are available for almost all sizes and surfaces and thus support conclusive comprehensive solutions. These sequences consist of pure room colours which take into account all architectural requirements, but also psychological effects. Discreet shades correspond with rich active colours complementing the respective colour family. Used as surface colours, these active colours are a dominating eye-catcher. 8

Because colours have no effect on their own. Used together, they create colour harmonies which accompany architectural requirements with positive associations. In addition, colour harmonies of different 10
light-yellow light-apricot light-pink light-beige soft yellow soft apricot soft pink soft brown accent yellow accent apricot accent pink accent brown deep yellow deep orange deep red active-white lightnesses support the creative play with nuances. And the modular structure of the system offers a security which does not restrict but provides additional creative freedom. As all the colours of the system are related to each other, the harmony of the colours among themselves permits innumerable variations going far beyond the effect of an individual shade. In this way, Plural plus is a source of inspiration which offers optimal conditions also for the realization of future trends in architecture. 11

SIZES World-wide unique modular system for creative people. In aesthetically demanding architecture, the choice of the tile size plays an important part. So, for example, particularly vivid effects are obtained with the small (mosaic) formats, while large sizes lend the room a representative flair. Additional effects result from the combination of various sizes: spacious rooms can be visually subdivided, fascinating rhythms develop from regular changes, decorations make large wall and floor surfaces less monotonous. Planners working with Plural plus can take advantage of all these possibilities, because the modular structure of the system permits a practically unlimited number of attractive combinations. 16

easy to clean with long-term guarantee Hydrotect surface coating. Hydrotect proves its worth in all areas where perfect hygiene is required. The surface coating for wall and floor tiles offers three important advantages: it has an antibacterial effect * it is extremely easy to clean it eliminates disagreeable odours The effects are based on the principle of the photocatalysis. The catalyst titanium dioxide baked onto the Water glaze effects a reaction between light, oxygen and air humidity. In this process, activated oxygen forms, which decomposes bacteria, fungi, algae and moss. Hydrotect-coated tile surfaces are hydrophilic: instead of being repelled, the water spreads to form a thin film. In this way, dirt is washed down by the water and can be easily removed. In addition, Hydrotect decomposes the exhaust fumes produced by industry and cars. Scientific analyses prove that a Hydrotect facade surface of 1000 m 2 cleans the air as effectively as 70 medium-sized deciduous trees. The coating, which is unique in this form, is practically indestructible. The photocatalytic effect already activated by normal indoor lighting or natural light is permanently conserved. For further information, please order our Hydrotect special brochure. * Documentation and approval regarding the antibacterial characteristics of Hydrotect are pending in the USA Dirt With Hydrotect, dirt is washed down by the water and can then be easily wiped off. Protecta surface upgrading. Better beats good. Unglazed vitrified tiles are hard-wearing and resistant by nature. Thanks to the Protecta surface upgrading, the stain and dirt resistance could be improved considerably: during the firing process, the coating applied inplant is ceramically bonded to the biscuit and closes the existing micropores quite natural for unglazed ceramics. In this way, the penetration of substances forming stains is prevented. The subsequent impregnation recommended so far is no longer required. Protecta 22
