Things are happening here: View of the CRADLETOP façade gold from all sides

Small Edge.
Big Innovation.

Our CRADLETOP façade gold is a natural beauty with added value. The small kink in the creative clinker tile is what makes the design so innovative. Hook it in, screw it down, done! No mortar, no loss of value to the material and optimum interlocking with the substructure.

Slow fired
for highest Quality

Our traditional ring kiln makes it possible: CRADLETOP Facade Gold tiles are fired very slowly at extremely high temperatures. This produces ceramic tiles that are extremely resistant and durable.

Through traditional production in the ring kiln manufactory, we create unique colors and surfaces that are particularly intense and tactile. At Gillrath, we cultivate this 150-year-old craftsmanship with passion and expertise.

Style your CRADLETOP.

We already have four standard colors in our range. But the best thing is that we can fire your very own batch. Matt, grainy or glossy. Light or dark, bold or subtle. Make a wish..

Cradle to Cradle

The ideal, closed raw material cycle - Cradle to Cradle means from cradle to cradle. Nature is the model: all the raw materials in a product are reused one hundred percent after use and remain in the cycle. Waste (take/make/waste) is completely replaced by usable recyclable materials.

At CRADLETOP Facade Gold , the name says it all. We only use local soils in the production process. The facades designed with CRADLETOP can be completely dismantled. The ceramic tiles are 100% reusable, as they are simply screwed together and no mortar is used. This is how sustainability works at Gillrath. To be continued.
