THE WALL COVERING OR EXTERNAL FACING
It is important to first choose the materials to be used to give the best aesthetic and qualitative results, as it will be the external covering that improves the building appearance.
Indeed, its function is that of characterizing the building appearance as well as protecting the walls from atmospheric polluting agents and achieving the performance levels. As a safety measure 5x5 mm fibreglass netting is bonded to the back of each slab to temporarily hold together any broken slab pieces until the tiles can be replaced.
The covering materials of a ventilated wall must meet the following requirements:
l increased mechanical strength;
l increased resistance to thermal shocks;
l reduced water absorption;
l non-flammability;
l resistance of colors to sunlight;
l resistance to chemicals and air pollution;
l lightweight and ductility;
l limited maintenance requirements.
Terracotta panels and tiles have all these characteristics, making them technically better than quarry materials and classifying them as one of the most suitable materials for ventilated facades.
