Wall Cladding Material Terracotta Cladding Facade Panels Long Last Color

Performance

With terracotta you have a product that is strong, very long lasting and not harmful to the environment. If you look at the product, which is basically a mix of clay and water, there are no chemical additives. We aren’t including any fibers to make it stronger — it’s just nature. We are doing what people have been doing for the last couple thousand years, just with more modern processes and technology. It is really a proven material.

Life cycle:

If you compare terracotta to other cladding products, the big advantage of using terracotta is that it has a very long life cycle. It is possible to have a terracotta cladding product that can last 100 years without much maintenance, especially when using the rainscreen principle. In comparison, we are seeing many fiber cement façades losing colour and fading; with very high color stability, terracotta won’t change color for decades.

Terracotta panel is great product for architects to accomplish long lasting and sustainable buildings. It is not a product that is harming the environment. You can even recycle terracotta after it is used or grind it down and repurpose it in road construction, for example.

Thermal Performance:

A terracotta rainscreen will provide a building with better energy performance than a precast system. However, if precast is detailed using a sandwich wall, you can improve that system’s energy performance.

Maintenance:

Every 10 years, you may have to power wash the terracotta façade to get rid of a little bit of dust. If you have a glazed terracotta building that you haven’t maintained for 20 or even 30 years, for example, it will practically look new after power washing it once.
