A look back at the presence of Rairies Montrieux at the 2022 edition of the Batimat show.
The history of terracotta is born of a symbiosis between clay and the hand of man. It is transformed, magnified and built thanks to the projects of architects, designers and artists who offer it their inspiration. We call these inspirations Architectural Encounters.
Batimat is an opportunity to take stock of the company's new prospects and to highlight the mythical Parisian showroom of the Viaduc des Arts, an emblematic and strategic place for the company in Paris.
The specialist in terracotta products since 1919 will announce several important news at the show: Rairies Montrieux will be at the service of a sporting event for 2024, a great honor and yet another challenge for the company. Concrete cases of finalized achievements will be presented, as well as current or future projects, in France and abroad.
Rairies Montrieux also presents its project: Eco-Démarche, a project supported by an environmental approach.
Eco-approach
Today the economy of resources is at the heart of concerns. The reuse of materials is an effective and simple action to implement. In the case of terracotta, it is the use of discarded, unsold pieces, or overstocks that are a prime resource. Indeed, why launch the production of new products when bulky stocks exist? Reuse saves manufacturing time and saves more than significant energy.
This approach is both environmental and economic and each partner benefits from it. Destocking for the company, artistic playground for the architect, economy of means for the contracting authority and all this, for the benefit of the environment.
A catalog at the service of professionals
This year Rairies Montrieux is once again innovating by presenting a new catalog at the construction trade show, always at the forefront of innovation and the latest trends, thus pushing back the limits of creativity.
The latter will be presented with numerous product news.
A spotlight on the Brut de four brick, an ultra-contemporary ancestral product, new colors for the enamelled plates... The Moucharabieh bricks will be available in different forms. So many sources of inspiration for professionals... Enriched with enlightening interviews with leading architects on their technical and aesthetic approach, this new catalog opens up the field of possibilities and fully meets the expectations and requirements of the market.
This year several great novelties at Rairies Montrieux
New epidermis
Terracotta is a ceramic made by firing clay. Its color may vary depending on the clay used. Shaped using a die then dried, it is finally baked at high temperature. Two new epidermis are emerging: bark and granulated!
Bark
Inspired by the protective skin of the tree, terracotta gets closer to nature thanks to the bark epidermis. This look is the result of random hatching on the smooth surface of the terracotta product to give it a unique look. It is available in 9 shades: Lumière, Silver, Titanium, Havana, Réglisse, Antarès, Montlouis, Montvaloir and Médoc.
shot blasted
The shot-peened epidermis is an aspect that provides very beautiful sandblasted mineral effects. The appearance is certainly rough, but the final rendering is very warm.
Thanks to this matt appearance, a facade is clearly out of the ordinary.
Grainy to the touch, the advantage of Shot-peened Epidermis is that it can beautifully conceal flaws in a wall's surface. It comes in 4 natural shades: Lumière, Silver, Réglisse and Médoc.
The Original Bark
Thanks to their skin that is both natural and structured, the Originelle pads fit elegantly into a vintage spirit. They are now available in 4 textures.... The very latest novelty: Bark.
New shapes
New bricks and shaped bricks, this year is the great novelty at Rairies Montrieux!
Pointed, graphic, linear, rounded... They give relief to all facades and are there to bring a unique aspect to each project.
The new colors
Slip, pastel colored terracotta
The company completes its collection of engobed brick slips thanks to the development of pastel colours. Pastel-coloured terracotta affirms an approach that has hitherto been confined to interiors.
New colors in single-fired enamels
Single-fired enamel consists of simultaneously firing raw terracotta and finely ground colored glass on the terracotta during the same single firing. Due to its exclusivity, it is a technical and energy-saving firing that offers more nuanced enamelled products like natural terracotta.
New products
In the Family of Enamels, the very latest novelty: Grés is a ceramic characterized by very high hardness and excellent resistance to chemical or climatic attack. This resistance is obtained by firing at a temperature above 1.200°C. Rairies Montrieux has developed this range to meet the requirements of countries where harsh weather conditions are frequent.
Rairies Montrieux is full of novelties for the 2022 edition of Batimat. Shapes, epidermis, shades... innovations abound! Rairies Montrieux invites you to discover all their ranges in their showrooms in Paris or at the Rairies!
