Product Description

Architectural Terracotta is a fired clay product from a prepared blend of clay. The clay body is slip cast or hand pressed into moulds forming hollow blocks ranging from simple ashlar to highly decorative units.

It is load-bearing, durable and fire-resistant. The through-body terracotta colours are typically earthy such as red, buff, tawny and grey.

The application of a glaze to a terracotta block forms a hardwearing, colour fast surface of either gloss, eggshell or matt finish. This product is known as Architectural Faience.

The bespoke nature of our products means that selection of shape, colour and finish is not restricted to a standard range. With proven durability, terracotta is resistant to the effects of weathering and atmospheric attack, and the ease by which it can be shaped makes terracotta one of the most versatile building materials available.
