Introduction

Natural Clay Rainscreen Systems

Our Terracotta Facade Cladding Panels are manufactured from high-quality natural clay, extruded and fired at high temperatures to ensure maximum durability. These panels utilize a dry-hang back-bolt installation system, providing a ventilated rainscreen that protects the building structure while offering a sophisticated, earthy aesthetic.

Benefits

Why Choose Terracotta Facade Cladding

  • Superior Thermal and Acoustic Insulation

    The hollow-core design creates an air cushion that significantly reduces heat transfer and external noise infiltration.

  • Self-Cleaning and Low Maintenance

    The anti-static properties of fired terracotta prevent dust accumulation, allowing rainwater to naturally wash the facade.

  • Exceptional Fire Resistance

    As a non-combustible material fired at over 1000°C, terracotta provides an A1 fire rating for high-rise safety.

  • Color Permanence and UV Stability

    Natural mineral pigments ensure the facade colors will not fade or degrade even under intense long-term UV exposure.

Standard

Customization and Technical Configuration

Our terracotta panels are available in a variety of surface textures including natural, grooved, sandblasted, and glazed finishes. The system supports various panel heights from 200mm to 600mm and lengths up to 1500mm to suit specific architectural grids.

The installation utilizes high-grade aluminum alloy sub-frames and stainless steel back-bolts (undercut anchors). This mechanical fixing method ensures seismic resistance and allows for easy individual panel replacement if necessary.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Technical insights regarding the installation, durability, and performance of our terracotta cladding systems.

How are the panels fixed to the building structure?
The panels use a dry-hang system with undercut back-bolts and aluminum rails, eliminating the need for wet mortars or adhesives.
Are terracotta panels suitable for high-rise buildings?
Yes, their high wind load resistance (up to 4.5 kPa) and A1 fire rating make them ideal for tall commercial and residential towers.
Can the panels be cut to size on-site?
While we recommend factory-cutting for precision, panels can be cut on-site using specialized diamond-blade wet saws.
Does the color of the terracotta vary between batches?
As a natural clay product, slight tonal variations occur, which we manage through strict batch control to ensure a harmonious facade appearance.
What is the typical weight of the terracotta system?
Depending on thickness (typically 18mm to 30mm), the panels weigh between 35kg/m² and 55kg/m², making them lighter than solid stone.
