Natural Terracotta
Natural Terracotta brick slips are an exquisite form of ceramic crafted by baking clay at high temperatures. The making of terracotta involves moulding raw clay, drying it, and then firing it in a kiln at high temperatures.
This heating process transforms the clay block into an extraordinarily dense product that is not only beautiful but also boasts amazing built-in properties for long-lasting durability that will withstand the test of time, providing decades of enjoyment.
Natural Terracotta brick slips can vary in colour, depending on the clay used, to create an authentic design for your project. This product is also a popular option due to its sustainability, as 94% of terracotta waste is recycled. Scrapped parts, unsold goods and even excess stocks are prime resources for reuse.
