Terracotta vs Ceramic Cladding Facade Systems
When we talk about cladding systems, terracotta cladding can refer to the material itself or a colour scheme. Ceramic cladding is a versatile, contemporary facade solution that offers outstanding aesthetic and functional characteristics. Get more news about terracotta cladding price,you can vist our website!
Terracotta as a material is less dense compared to ceramic, making it more susceptible to water absorption. When it comes to facades, higher water retention results in a heavier structure, which is not ideal since it will require substantially more strength to carry the facade.
Nevertheless, if you still want the overall finish of a terracotta cladding, KLAY offers a wide range of ceramic facade systems with terracotta tones. We can help you achieve the appearance of a terracotta facade that you like minus the disadvantage of higher water absorption.
KLAY is a proud Australian agent for German manufacturer Agrob Buchtal, including the Agrob Buchtal Ceramic Facade Systems. True to its European heritage, the ceramic facades they produce are of top quality and design, including German terracotta-coloured cladding systems.
TERRACOTTA WALL CLADDING SYSTEM OR A CERAMIC FACADE?

With ceramic cladding, you get a low maintenance cladding solution that is also fire-proof and impact resistant.If you want to install a terracotta wall cladding system, you might want to try a ceramic cladding system instead. Ceramic is notably strong, durable and relatively lightweight – which significantly reduces the load to the substructure and exterior of the building as compared to terracotta.
