What is econic clay for
Wall Coverings

Natural raw materials such as natural soil, quartz, fine ore, cinerite, and fly ash are used as raw materials. They are classified into four groups by different colours. By grinding the four groups of materials respectively and combining the materials of same color with an active agent, the materials are tranformed to a powder with a high activity: econic clay.

econic clay is superior

Nature and design are the two most important terms in the cardamia vocabulary. econic clay combines ecological and economic advantages with iconic design. Its material properties will make it the number one sustainable building material in interior design.

Bendable

cardamia is flexible, bendable, and can be rolled up to the radius of minimum 200mm. Therefore, you can easily complete a variety of arc design shapes.

Large Size

cardamia flexible rock slab can be produced in various sizes depending on your needs. This gives you ultimate design freedom.

Lightweight

cardamia is extremely light. A squaremeter is about 3-6 kg. Therefore, transportation and handling are extremely easy.

Thickness

While retaining the three-dimensional texture, the thickness can only be 2mm.

But wait, there is more…

Additional to these four main properties, cardamia – econic clay offers a lot more benefits in its application and maintenance:

excellent plasticity

The material is versatile and highly functional. cardamia products can be installed almost anywhere.
fireproof – and more

cardamia – flexible rock slab are durable, fireproof, impact resistant, and crackproof. They are also freeze-thaw resistant, breathable, and flexible. And: There is no long-time color fading.
health-beneficial

cardamia – flexible rock slab is completely made of natural (and recyclable) raw materials. Therefore, it is nontoxic and, due to its water-absorption quality, it creates a good indoor climate and is overall health-beneficial.
expandable material qualities

Combined with a polymer, flexible rock slab is developed into various kinds of hybrids with additional material properties, like an excellent weather adaptation ability with a guaranteed lifespan of at least 40-50years.

How to use cardamia

receive cardamia, which arrives either rolled up or in form of plates, at your convenience
tailor it for its specific purpose on site
apply adhesive on the back
attach the flexible rock slab according to your plans
if necessary, join the flexible rock slab with sealant
scrape off overflow sealant or adhesive, do not wet wipe
dust with a dry sponge – and enjoy your result

How we create
cardamia

100% sustainable and 100% smart production: In modified clay technology, a mix of natural raw materials such as soil, sand, stone powder, and ash undergo a spray-mixing process converting them into modified inorganic materials encapsulated with active surface coating. The resulting modified material is cardamia – econic clay. It can be formed in the same way as plastic into any shape and profile, such as thin sheets, boards, or blocks, through manipulation of heating curves and photochemical isomerism technique.

cardamia – econic clay allows for interior design with a carbon footprint which is reduced by 80%, compared to traditional decorative materials. It can be recycled and reused infinitely. It opens a whole new world of application possibilities: substituting concrete to build roads; replacing plastic, resin, cement, and wood to produce flatted board, customized shapes, rolls or even art display.
