ARCHITECTURAL TERRACOTTA NBK Ceramic ARCHITECTURAL TERRACOTTA

2 ARCHITECTURAL TERRACOTTA While technology has continuously progressed, the manufacture of clay-based construction materials still centres on the three elements of fire, water and clay — as it has done for millennia. Exploiting all the age-old traditions, skills and workmanship necessary for processing the material clay, Niederrheinische Baukeramik (NBK) has developed the TERRART® terracotta façade system. TERRART® is a ventilated curtain wall/rainscreen system whose exposed components are made exclusively from terracotta. This was the key requirement imposed on the NBK development team by...

TERRART®-CUSTOM The range of TERRART® products offers numerous other ceramic variants. On an individual basis, custom production is possible for a particular property, through to elements with varying radii for the creation of elliptic shapes. Production is carried out according to specifications, also as a hand-made single element if required. All bonded single elements must additionally be fixed mechanically on the construction site (by the customer) in accordance with DIN 18516 part 3, point 3.2 (both sides in the case of corners, on three sides in the case of U-shaped elements). 11

COLOURS AND GLAZES TERRART® glazes and honed finishes are being increasingly exploited as a design feature in comtemporary architecture. NBK‘s expertise in complicated mixing techniques and traditional firing methods, allows virtually any colour and sorface texture specification to be met to the letter. This allows our company, in consultation with designers of exclusive product assortments, to make unique buildings. The colours shown represent only a few of our overall range. Any required shade can be provided upon request. 13

TERRART®-FLEX RAINSCREEN SYSTEM The NBK TERRART® ceramic clay tile façade system, which is based on the rainscreen principle, is custom designed and engineered. The vertical joints are backed by a support system which drains rainwater away from the cavities behind. The gaskets, together with balanced air pressure, discourages water from entering the wall cavities. The tile design allows for air to flow through „open joints“, which helps to balance air pressure in the cavities behind the terracotta cladding elements with that of outside air, hence, the term - pressure equalization. Driven...
