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.

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?
Terracotta wall cladding requires greater structural capacity and more time for installation compared to a ceramic facade system. 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.

If you are looking for a supplier of terracotta cladding in Melbourne, you might want to consider KLAY’s ceramic solutions. While we don’t carry terracotta wall cladding, we offer ceramic cladding facades in terracotta tones, which is infinitely better as ceramic gives you the finish of terracotta wall cladding without having to deal with some of the disadvantages that come with terracotta cladding.
The beauty of a ceramic facade system is that you can get all the benefits of wall cladding without experiencing the common problems that come with a terracotta cladding system.

The ceramic products that KLAY carries, which includes the range of Agrob Buchtal Ceramic Facade Systems include the rear ventilated curtain wall ceramic facade systems which offer an unparalleled mechanical fixed solution for building facades and civil infrastructure projects.
