Practical, fact-checked articles for architects, façade consultants and contractors specifying terracotta panels.
A terracotta façade panel is a fired clay cladding unit used as the visible outer layer of a ventilated façade. This article explains the material, the three panel families available, and where the panel sits within the wider wall build-up.
Read article →Single-skin and double-skin are the manufacturer's family designations. This article compares their verified thicknesses and dimensions while clearly identifying the technical details that still require approved documentation.
Read article →Three thicknesses are manufactured — 18 mm, 25 mm and 30 mm — and each corresponds to a specific panel family and format range. This article maps thickness to family and explains the project-specific coordination process.
Read article →Selecting panel dimensions works best as a short sequence: settle on the panel family, check the format against the façade grid, and confirm anything outside the standard list before it reaches drawings. This article walks through that sequence using the current dimension ranges.
Read article →A ventilated façade concept contains several project-engineered layers. This article positions the terracotta panel within that context and explains how fixing, substructure and performance details are coordinated with approved documents.
Read article →Six standard colours are published for the range. Non-standard custom colours are subject to technical evaluation, sample approval and production conditions, with a 400 m² minimum order quantity. This article separates the two routes clearly.
Read article →Custom RAL colour development is a defined process rather than an open-ended request: technical evaluation, physical sample approval, then production against a 400 m² minimum order. This article walks through each stage and what a project should prepare in advance.
Read article →Custom RAL development is subject to technical evaluation and physical sample approval. This article explains why screens, photographs and printed references are not sufficient for final project acceptance.
Read article →Refractory clay and roller-kiln firing at 1,180°C are confirmed manufacturing facts for every listed panel family. This article explains what those facts establish and which material or performance claims still require verified documents.
Read article →Roller-kiln firing at 1,180°C is the production step that converts formed refractory clay into finished terracotta panels. This article explains what roller-kiln firing involves and how a specifier should interpret this manufacturing detail alongside project-specific technical data.
