Digital-inkjet finish selection must be coordinated with the ventilated facade, not reviewed as an isolated image.
This guide connects a finish reference to panel modules, pattern distribution, joints, corners, support interfaces, the cavity and project responsibilities. It preserves PG727 data and images from November 2016 without presenting the archived specification or commercial entries as current commitments.
Reference, sample range and viewing criteria
Panel module, pattern, joints and corners
Panel section, supports, cavity and interfaces
Evidence, mock-up, approvals and programme
Give the finish a defined role in the facade review
A printed stone- or timber-inspired direction begins with current physical samples, but approval cannot stop at one panel. The project team should also review repeat scale, permitted variation, orientation, joint rhythm, cut pieces, returns, corners, openings and replacement strategy across representative elevations.
The surface image does not define the full ventilated wall. Panel geometry and support interfaces must be coordinated with brackets, rails, clips or other fixings; the cavity, insulation, membranes, flashings, fire barriers and backing wall remain separate project and system responsibilities. Use the Ventilated Terracotta Rainscreen Guide for the wall-layer overview and the Digital-Inkjet Finish Guide for the broader archived finish family.
Archived PG727 record from November 2016
The original page published the following product and commercial fields on 8 November 2016. Units are normalized for readability, and every value requires current confirmation before specification, approval or procurement.
| 2016 field | Archived value | Current-use boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Item / model | PG727 | Use as an archive reference; confirm active status, body, profile and finish. |
| Size | Customized | No dimensions or limits were stated. Submit the proposed module, geometry, tolerances and edge conditions. |
| Colour | MIX | Approve a current physical range, distribution method and batch-control record. |
| Surface finish | 3D Inkjet | Confirm the present process, texture, gloss, print scale, repeat and applicable edge treatment. |
| Material | Natural Clay | A historical description, not evidence of environmental or complete-wall outcomes. |
| Weight | 31 kg/m² | The source gives no configuration, test method or tolerance. Obtain current scoped data for design and logistics. |
| Water absorption | Less than 0.5% | No standard, specimen, laboratory or report was cited. Require current product-specific evidence. |
| Thickness | 18 mm | Confirm the current section, tolerances and compatibility with the proposed support interface. |
| Minimum order | 1,500 m² | A dated commercial entry only. Request a current quotation for the selected finish, module and quantity. |
| Lead time | 35 days | A dated estimate only. Current timing follows approvals, production scope, packing, destination and logistics. |
| Legacy certification text | CE, ISO 9001:2008 | Not presented as current. Verify holder, scope, site, product, issuer and validity for every required document. |
| Legacy order route | Old order button to `/contact-us/` | Use the current Contact page instead. |
Keep the full six-reference board visible
The original granite-look board identifies PG009, PG258, PG252, PG008, PG727 and PG725. The complete image remains available so every reference can be read. These codes are archive identifiers, not confirmed current SKUs, and the screen colours are not approval samples.

For a current project, label each sample with the item, body, profile, surface, date and revision. Review representative pieces under relevant light and viewing distance, then record the accepted range rather than selecting from a small web image.
Integrate pattern and panelization with facade details
Map the pattern to modules
Place current print variants over representative elevations. Coordinate repeat, orientation and controlled distribution with panel length, height and joint layout.
Resolve corners and returns
Show whether the finish continues, changes direction or terminates at external corners, internal corners, reveals, soffits, parapets and openings.
Coordinate cuts and replacement
Identify cut pieces, edge appearance and replacement access. Record how later replacement units will be judged against the approved visual range.
Confirm the support interface
Coordinate the actual panel section with its clips, rails, brackets, anchors, tolerances and movement strategy; do not infer a fixing detail from the face image.
Review cavity interfaces
Keep ventilation and drainage paths, membranes, flashings, insulation and fire barriers coordinated at joints, openings, bases, tops and transitions.
Approve at facade scale
Use adjacent full-size panels or a representative mock-up to review pattern, joints, corners, cavity interfaces and workmanship before final approval.
Separate the visible finish from complete-system evidence
Current sample range, print scale, surface, profile, dimensions, edges and applicable product evidence
Clips, rails, brackets, anchors, joints, movement, ventilation, drainage, insulation and fire barriers
Substrate, air and water control, structure, interfaces, codes, approvals, installation and inspection
Qualified project teams should establish design actions, substrate adequacy, fixing and support design, movement, tolerances, impact needs, fire strategy, enclosure performance, corrosion exposure and governing requirements for the actual assembly. Current manufacturer data can inform that work but does not replace engineering, coordinated drawings, testing, mock-ups or site verification.
- project location, use, exposure, standards and acceptance route;
- elevations, sections, panel schedule, joints, corners and interfaces;
- current finish samples, permitted variation, orientation and pattern map;
- substrate, support concept, cavity, insulation, membranes and barriers;
- required product and assembly reports, calculations and mock-ups;
- estimated quantities, special pieces, spares, programme and destination; and
- responsibility matrix for design, approval, manufacture and installation.
Treat the 2016 application list as context, not approval
The original article marketed the finish for exterior walls on new and renovated buildings; metro, railway, tunnel and other underground projects; European- or American-style buildings and villa walls or roofs; ceilings; office buildings, commercial podiums and other public projects; interior walls; and surgery rooms, clean rooms, pharmaceutical facilities and food-production workshops.
This list is retained as historical context only. Every use needs a current review of exposure, substrate, fixing, movement, structural actions, fire strategy, water management, access, hygiene or emissions criteria, cleanability and applicable regulations.
Continue with the right current resource
Use the system guide for wall layers, the finish guide for the broader archived surface family, and the design article for early appearance planning. This page remains focused on the interface between a selected digital-inkjet finish and its ventilated facade details.
Coordinate a digital-inkjet finish with the facade brief
Send current finish references, elevations, panel schedule, support concept, required evidence, estimated quantity, programme and delivery destination for review. Final panel selection, support design, facade performance and compliance remain project-specific.
