Pretty Plastic designs and produces sustainable building materials, made out of 100% recycled PVC, originating from plastic window frames, downspouts and rain gutters. The Pretty Plastic facade tiles are certified according to international standards and are installed at projects all over the world.

A new tile by Pretty Plastic

After the successful and award-winning design of the first tile at the Dutch Design Week in 2017, Pretty Plastic now presents a completely new tile, again designed by architect Peter van Assche and designers Reinder Bakker and Hester van Dijk (the founders of Pretty Plastic). The new tile is especially made for prefabricated building procedures and high-rises. With this new tile, Pretty Plastic offers a unique product from recycled PVC that matches the latest developments and regulations for circular building requirements. In combination with an integrated rear hanging system made out of recycled aluminium it offers a smart and sustainable solution for ventilated facade systems. The design of the tile offers the possibility to place it in several positions on prefabricated facade elements. Together with a varied colour scheme it delivers a multifaceted, eye-catching effect.

Extension of our colour range

Pretty Plastic also presents an expansion of the colour ranges of its original tile at the Dutch Design week. After the successful launch of a range of grey tiles in four different shades, we add three more colour ranges in our portfolio: terracotta, green and ochre. Each colour is available in three different shades. In combination with the grey tiles, these colours offer endless possibilities to design unique colour patterns for both facades and roof solutions.
