Products
| Product | Dimensions (mm) | Tiles per m² | Weight per tile | Reaction to fire (EN 13501-1:2018) | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First One | 400 × 304 × 29 | 22.2 | 1.1 kg (24.4 kg/m²) | B-s3,d0; roof BROOF(t4) under EN 13501-5 | Facade and roof |

Fire classifications apply within the field of application described in each classification report. Suitability for a specific building depends on the full facade or roof build-up, building height and national regulations. See fire performance.
Material and circularity
- Main material: recycled rigid PVC originating from construction waste (for example window frames and pipes).
- Pretty Plastic markets its tiles as 100% recycled PVC. For exact formulation and declared recycled content, consult the product-specific technical and environmental documents. The First One NMD declaration describes more than 99% recycled PVC.
- Tiles are mechanically fixed, demountable, and designed to be reused or recycled at end of use.
Colours
Four colour ranges: grey, green, ochre and terracotta, each in three shades (light, medium, dark). Because the tiles are made from recycled feedstock, visual variation between production batches can occur. Custom shades can be discussed for orders over 500 m².
Environmental information
- First One has a Category 1 environmental declaration in the Dutch Nationale Milieudatabase (NMD): nmd_92358.
- The NMD viewer lists MKI (A1) €4.544 and MKI (A2) €6.304 per functional unit of 1 m², with a representative service life of 40 years.
- An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is available for First One.
- Dutch explanation of MPG and NMD: milieuprestatie.

Dutch pages and knowledge base (Kennis)
Pretty Plastic publishes Dutch product pages and a Dutch knowledge base for architects, consultants and clients. The knowledge base (https://www.prettyplastic.nl/nl/kennis) explains the context of facade choices (MPG requirements from 2026, fire safety, circularity, installation) and compares facade materials honestly, including the points where other materials perform better. Technical values are kept on the product and specification pages; the articles link to them.
