Terracotta
Material Overview – Terracotta
Terracotta has been used in architecture for centuries and continues to evolve as a dynamic material for contemporary façades. Formed from natural clay and kiln-fired at high temperatures, terracotta offers exceptional durability, color stability, and resistance to weathering. Its rich, earthy tones and ability to be manufactured in a range of profiles, finishes, and panel dimensions make it ideal for creating depth, rhythm, and texture across building elevations. Terracotta delivers both timeless character and modern performance in exterior applications. Panels are available in multiple lengths and heights, 23″ W x 47″ L is max size, giving designers flexibility to create clean, modern exteriors with a natural feel.
