Terracotta
Terracotta is a type of ceramic produced by using a mixture of natural clays and minerals. The mixture is extruded via die shape, using high pressure. The panels are then cut, finished, and fired at high temperatures to achieve a very durable, beautiful, and long-lasting product. Terracotta has been used for 1,000s of years and still remains a premier choice for cladding materials.
