Throughout contemporary architecture, terracotta cladding<\/a> is lauded for its design flexibility, distinctive colors, natural textures, durability and sustainability. Dating back to the Babylonians, who made wide use of terracotta in palaces, temples and statues, it is a proven material that has stood for thousands of years \u2014 and will likely stand for thousands more.<\/p>\n

Architizer spoke with Christian Lehmann \u2014 Ceramic Engineer and General Manager of NBK North America \u2014 who helped us understand the ins-and-outs of terracotta, and its modern applications as a cladding material. Founded in the late-1920s, NBK Terracotta<\/strong><\/a> began as a roof tile company and later branched out into architectural terracotta<\/a>. As a pioneer in the industry, NBK started using terracotta as a rainscreen<\/a> cladding product for exterior walls in the 1960s. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUsing terracotta as a cladding product was not very popular at that time,\u201d Lehmann said. This began to change when Renzo Piano<\/a> began working on large-scale terracotta projects in Europe, demonstrating how the material could be used in new and creative ways. Completed in 1997, one of these projects was Potsdamer Square in Berlin, which features a bespoke curved terracotta fa\u00e7ade. \u201cRenzo Piano\u2019s projects were breakthrough,” explained Lehman. “The big difference was that Renzo Piano had a lot of ideas about shapes and sizes, which showcased the adaptable and geometric possibilities of architectural terracotta.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Categorization<\/h2>\n

According to Lehmann, there are two main approaches to cladding a building in terracotta: the rainscreen principle and precast concrete. Aside from these two approaches, in this section, we also touch on using terracotta pipes to create a sunscreen or brise-soleil effect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rainscreen Principle:<\/b> One of the most common ways to install terracotta is based on the rainscreen principle. Terracotta panels<\/a> are hung onto an aluminum sub-support system, offering the durability of a masonry installation without the added weight. Creating a continuous insulation outboard with overlapping joints, the system is carefully designed to drain water away from the cavity that lies beneath the support structure, thus protecting the building from rain, wind and snow. Many profiles, colors, finishes and other opportunities for customization are possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another advantage of terracotta rainscreen systems is that they do not use grout or sealants such as silicone, thus avoiding the excessive number of joints associated with precast concrete panels. This greatly reduces the need for maintenance and also makes for an easier installation process that can be performed in all weather conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith a rainscreen application, terracotta is really being used to protect the building\u2019s core, which will really prolong the lifecycle of the building,\u201d said Lehmann.<\/p>\n

Precast Concrete Panels:<\/b> In this case, a terracotta veneer is bonded onto large precast concrete units. These systems are ideal for architects who are simultaneously looking for the strength of a precast concrete construction as well as the flexible design, profile and finish options offered by terracotta facing. \u201cFrom the outside it looks like a terracotta building and from the inside, it looks like you have a solid concrete wall,\u201d Lehmann said. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to Lehmann, the upfront costs of precast concrete panels are typically less than rainscreen applications. However, many other costs will arise as you will have to maintain the joints between the concrete panels. Lehmann urges that if you have the budgetary flexibility, terracotta rainscreens are a shrewd investment that preclude unpredictable costs in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shading: <\/b>As showcased in Architizer\u2019s collection, \u201cFired Up: 5 Textured Buildings With Terracotta Screens<\/a>,\u201d terracotta is commonly harnessed to create lightweight brise soleils fa\u00e7ades. Creating an open, permeable barrier, products like NBK Terracotta’s\u00a0TERRART Baguette<\/a>\u00a0will allow you to achieve this effect. These systems are composed of ceramic pipes with square, circular or oblong cross-sections.<\/span><\/p>\n

Performance<\/h2>\n

\u201cWith terracotta you have a product that is strong, very long lasting and not harmful to the environment,” said Lehmann, “If you look at the product, which is basically a mix of clay and water, there are no chemical additives. We aren\u2019t including any fibers to make it stronger \u2014 it\u2019s just nature. We are doing what people have been doing for the last couple thousand years, just with more modern processes and technology. It is really a proven material.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Life cycle: <\/b>“If you compare terracotta to other cladding products, the big advantage of using terracotta is that it has a very long life cycle,” explained Lehmann. “It is possible to have a terracotta cladding product that can last 100 years without much maintenance, especially when using the rainscreen principle. In comparison, we are seeing many fiber cement fa\u00e7ades losing colour and fading; with very high color stability, terracotta won\u2019t change color for decades.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think we have a great product for US-architects to accomplish long lasting and sustainable buildings. It is not a product that is harming the environment. You can even recycle terracotta after it is used or grind it down and repurpose it in road construction, for example.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Thermal Performance:<\/b>\u00a0“A terracotta rainscreen will provide a building with better energy performance than a precast system,\u201d Lehmann said. However, if precast is detailed using a sandwich wall, you can improve that system\u2019s energy performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintenance:<\/b> According to Lehmann, \u201cevery 10 years, you may have to power wash the terracotta fa\u00e7ade to get rid of a little bit of dust. If you have a glazed terracotta building that you haven\u2019t maintained for 20 or even 30 years, for example, it will practically look new after power washing it once.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Aesthetics<\/h2>\n

The range of colors that may be achieved with terracotta are virtually endless. The material is known for its familiar red color, but its natural color variation ranges from light cream to dark grey. The addition of pigments and glazes make colors like white, yellow, blue, red, green, purple and black possible. Consult with expert manufacturers such as NBK Terracotta about the many ways that you can achieve your design goals. For starters, Terracotta can be categorized into glazed and unglazed.<\/p>\n

Unglazed: <\/b>When talking about unglazed terracotta, various colors can be achieved by mixing different types of clay. For example \u201cyou can mix red and white clay to get lighter reds or even yellowish clays,\u201d Lehmann said. Natural fired colors typically include white, sand, yellow, taupe and a wide range of reddish hues. \u201cTo get a little bit higher variation, you can add pigments or oxides. Through firing these pigments at a temperature of about 2,000 degrees-Fahrenheit, they will react with the clay, creating stable and long-lasting colors. You will not really see a difference in color over 50 or even 100 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glazed: <\/b>\u201cWith glazed tiles<\/a> you have a body color, which is typically white or off-white, and then you have a glaze that is applied to the tiles before they go into the firing process,\u201d Lehmann said. Beyond an endless library of color options, glazes give you the freedom to achieve different opacities and finishes. \u201cYou can have a very transparent glaze where you still see the body color underneath or a completely opaque glaze that you cannot see through at all. You also have the option of choosing between very high gloss and completely matte finishes. By combining two or three glazes on different layers of the product, other special effects, including iridescence, are also possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Texture: <\/b>Textured terracotta finishes are being increasingly exploited as a design feature in contemporary architecture. <\/span>Textured finishes<\/span><\/a> offered by NBK terracotta include fine peeled, peeled, fine combed, medium combed, sandblasted and honed. However, if there is a certain look that you are hoping to achieve, consult your manufacturer early on during the design stages of your project to see if your vision is feasible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shapes:<\/b> According to Lehmann, the fact that terracotta can be used to create flexible geometric fa\u00e7ades is still not well known among architects. \u201cYou have the chance of introducing a lot of different shapes,” he said. “It\u2019s not only flat. You can do all sorts of three-dimensional shapes.\u201d<\/p>\n

“There is still a lot of unexplored potential in using terracotta as a cladding material on buildings. Only recently has the US market really started working with glazed tiles; there is definitely more to be done in that area. What I really hope to do is work with creative architects who will challenge us and the possibility of terracotta as a building product.”<\/p>\n

Today, innovations in the manufacturing process have breathed new life into terrracotta. Now, slabs of raw clay are passed through metal dies, extruding them into long, uniform shapes, which are then fed into kilns by conveyor belts. These hollow extrusions are perfect for creating resilient rain screens and lightweight brise soleils. This collection displayed why architects still get fired up over terracotta.
