Terracotta Panel |
Nature Stone |
Glass |
| 1 |
Material |
Natural Clay, 100% green material |
granite, marble, sandstone |
quartz alkaline colloid |
| 2 |
Dry Weight |
hollow structure, 30-32kg/m2, 70% weight of the Nature Stone |
2.4-2.7kg/m³ |
2.5kg/m³ |
| 3 |
Dry-hanging System |
with its own groove for dry-hanging, standard, safe and easy handle. |
on-site processing, fragile, security risk |
on-site fixing |
| 4 |
Color |
Never fading, color inherent, stable color for each production. |
natural color, but it is greatly affected by mine or location |
heavy-metal oxide |
| 5 |
Durability |
not new in ten years, not old in one hundred years. |
easy to be second weathering |
easy to be erosion |
| 6 |
Acid and alkaline resistance |
high |
middle |
low |
| 7 |
Radioactivity |
none |
with radioactive elements |
With radioactive elements for bright color glass |
| 8 |
Low-carbon ability |
hollow structure ,good heat and sound insulation, light-weight, greatly saving steel, half of stone's heat-conducting, recycling. |
low heat and noise insulation, heavy, needing to be reinforced. |
high light-transmission, no heat-insulation |
| 9 |
environmental protection of the processing |
using shale and terracotta, or coal waste, easy for exploration, no need to process too much, little waste |
much wasting water, stone material is limited, causing great damage to environment. |
limited good silicon |
| 10 |
Light pollution |
no, matte surface |
no |
high, dazzling |
