The formed elements are fired at a very high temperature of approx.. 950 to 1100 °C. This production method makes the clinker a very weather-resistant material., has low water absorption- below 6%, thanks to which it is frost-resistant.
The clinker is also characterized by high resistance to mechanical damage.. The cladding facade is also easy to keep clean. That is why clinker elements are readily used for finishing plinths., corners and entrance areas.
