Fuchs Design GmbH

Fuchs Design GmbH was established in 2012 and is now one of the world’s leading companies for glass blocks and accessories.

The products are produced in five different factories according to the highest quality standards. In addition to classic building material and tile dealers, the central warehouse in Kerken also supplies DIY stores, distribution companies, assembly and craft businesses, as well as customers throughout Europe. The products are delivered in the required quantities, from one piece to full truckloads.

The special glass blocks manufactured in-house at the head office, which are used for fire protection applications, heat-insulating (THERMO BLOCK) facades or spectacular interior design applications, are even shipped worldwide from Kerken due to the extremely favourable logistic connections to the international seaports of Rotterdam and Antwerp. With the establishment of the branch office Fox Design Hong Kong LTD towards the end of 2014, the company joined forces to cover the needs of international wholesale customers through low-priced and fast direct distribution. In keeping up to date with new insulating requirements, a glass brick called THERMO BLOCK was developed, at which an UG-value of up to 0.8 is possible.

STYLE‘N ART CERAMIC BRICKS

Style’n Art Ceramic Bricks are Deco Idea bricks that are handmade through a complex production process. Slight irregularities in the shape of form or dimension leads to an intended effect to underscore the naturalness, with the natural character resulting from this kind of procedure emphasising the charm of a surface realised with the Style’n Art Deco concept.

Installation of Style’n Art Deco Idea

The bricks are to be installed with mortar (classical method) using the special installation system, Quick-Fix. The advantage of this system is extremely quick and clean handling – perfect for the realisation of your ideas of interior fittings. All Quick-Fix profiles are glued to the wall and/or ground and to the Style’n Art Deco Idea bricks by special glue SRT8. The joint space between the bricks is automatically defined by the profiles and is approx. 5mm*. Afterwards, the installed surface has to be joined with the flex joint grout.
