Mitrex is a specialist in high-performance building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems that combine solar generation and façade aesthetics.
Mitrex presents Cladify Lightweight Porcelain Panels, a composite façade system that combines the elegance of porcelain with lightweight construction.
These panels feature a thin porcelain facing bonded to a structural aluminum core, offering improved thermal and acoustic performance, high strength-to-weight ratio, fire and impact resistance, and compatibility with multiple installation systems for fast, cost-effective deployment.
Features:
- Design Versatility: Available in a wide range of colors and textures, allowing architects to achieve porcelain aesthetics in both contemporary and traditional designs.
- Lightweight Strength: Thin porcelain facing over an aluminum core reduces overall panel weight while maintaining structural integrity and impact resistance.
- Thermal and Acoustic Efficiency: Panels enhance building envelope performance with improved insulation and STC ratings ranging from 34–55, depending on the system.
- Fire and Safety Performance: Non-combustible and tested to international standards, including CAN/ULC S135, ASTM E84 Class A, and NFPA 285 compliance.
- Ease of Installation: Compatible with Cladify’s rainscreen, prefabricated, or unitized systems, supporting rapid, low-cost installation and project-specific requirements.
- Sustainability: Lightweight composite construction reduces embodied carbon and contributes to LEED credits, while maintaining long-term durability.

Applications
Cladify Lightweight Porcelain Panels are ideal for projects requiring the elegance of porcelain without the weight or fragility of traditional systems. Suitable applications include:
- Commercial Towers: Lightweight façades with high aesthetic and performance standards.
- Residential Developments: Durable, visually striking panels for new builds or renovations.
- Institutional Buildings: Safe, fire-tested cladding for schools, hospitals, and offices.
- Interior Applications: Lobbies, atriums, and feature walls where continuity between interior and exterior façades is desired.
By combining lightweight performance, broad design options, and tested durability, these panels deliver an elegant, efficient, and safe solution for modern architecture.
