Distinctive surfaces. Clean lines.
Systematic surface solutions for ventilated facades and building structures.
Architecture emerges in the details. The interplay of materiality, structure, and light defines the identity of a building. At the intersection of sophisticated design and industrial manufacturing expertise, artera develops architectural surface systems where aesthetics, material properties, and structural engineering integrate seamlessly.
Our principles for durable architecture and functional building envelopes.
Design freedom and comprehensive system expertise.
Every construction project poses specific demands on aesthetics, structural integrity, and engineering. Instead of thinking in rigid standard grids, artera understands its own system technology as a flexible foundation for project specific architectural concepts. From the very beginning, we consider facade elements, substructures, fastening methods, and material impact as a harmonized overall system.
Materiality
Metal, glass, vitreous enamel, or ceramics unfold their architectural character through haptic qualities, surface structure, and lighting effects.
Precision
Exact lines, defined joint patterns, and dimensionally accurate manufacturing ensure a premium overall appearance of the facade.
Integration
Facade and surface systems that integrate seamlessly into the building structure both structurally and aesthetically.
Vitreous enamel facade systems combine decades of color stability and absolute corrosion protection with high mechanical resilience. As rear ventilated facades, they offer a technically mature and low maintenance envelope for demanding exterior and interior spaces.
Vitreous Enamel and Custom Facades
From panel and louver systems to column cladding and integrated ceiling systems, artera expands the design of the building structure beyond the classic facade. Exact fits and defined joint patterns ensure a consistent appearance in both interior and exterior areas.
Architectural Components
Whether motif printed wall panels, geometric form elements, or freehand sculptures, artera structurally executes artistic designs and visual signage systems. Permanently UV stable and graffiti resistant surfaces guarantee the long term preservation of the object even in high traffic public spaces and transit infrastructure.
Art Installations & Objects
Complex building geometries require solutions beyond standard grids. artera develops custom engineered special structures from three dimensionally preformed panels to adapted substructures making sophisticated architectural designs code compliant and economically feasible to realize.

Transparency across every project phase
artera supports architects, technical planners, and structural engineers from the initial design phase through to detailed execution planning. For the seamless integration of our vitreous enamel and facade systems into digital planning processes, we provide all relevant documentation in a structured format.
Essential system and material properties for your detailed engineering.
Technical Information for Execution Planning
Which fire protection ratings do artera systems meet?
All vitreous enamel and metal facade elements from artera are classified at minimum as A2 (non combustible or flame retardant) according to DIN EN 13501 1. They are therefore fully suitable for deployment in building physics demanding and safety relevant construction projects within the public and commercial sectors. Corresponding test certificates are available for download in the planner portal.
Are custom engineered special structures beyond standard grids possible?
The development of project specific custom geometries is a core competency of our execution planning. The engineering team realizes individual panel shapes, three dimensional elements, as well as specific corner and connection details precisely according to the architectural specifications of the respective building design.
In which formats are planning and CAD data available?
For integration into technical shop drawings and detailed planning, CAD files are provided in DWG and DXF formats. This data clearly depicts core system components as well as substructure details to ensure rapid verification and seamless adoption into your planning workflow.
