Paneltek terracotta façades have opened up a completely new dimension in façade design and are appreciated by architects all over the world due to the numerous design possibilities. In addition, Paneltek’s ceramic façades offer outstanding building performance.
The terracotta facade is a ventilated curtain wall/ rainscreen system whose exposed components are made from terracotta clay.
Proprietary facade solutions can move water away from building envelopes, using a ventilated and pressure-equalized system. Natural chimney effects not only keep the building dry to reduce maintenance, but also help save energy.
Terracotta facade rainscreen system ensures excellent integration of the system in any classical and contemporary wall construction.
The system components are manufactured so as to maximize shape, accuracy and guarantee best fit.
