Natural Terracotta Long Format Bricks

Natural Terracotta long format bricks are created by a unique heating process. The making of terracotta involves moulding raw clay, drying it, and then firing it in a kiln at high temperatures. This process creates long lasting durability for each brick.

As this product has sustainable benefits, due to 94% of remaining material being recycled, many architects find themselves drawn to this material choice. Natural terracotta long format bricks can vary in colour, depending on the clay used.
