Terracotta — the new and improved option for façades
The terracotta building material is in high demand worldwide. Manufactured from 100-per-cent natural raw materials, terracotta components are low-maintenance, durable, weatherproof and almost completely recyclable.
The terracotta façade system is developed and engineered by Niederrheinische Baukeramik (NBK) based on the rainscreen principle; it is a customised ventilated curtain wall. Besides offering resistance to ultraviolet rays, frost and chemicals, this system also has the ability to accommodate detailed designs in terms of shape, colour, texture and glaze for tailored solutions. The NBK Architectural Terracotta comprises six main product lines: Terracotta-Large; Terracotta-Mid; Terracotta-Light; Terracotta-Baguette; Terracotta-Solid; and Terracotta-Shingle.
