LOPO China’s wall cladding system provides benefits above and beyond conventional masonry cavity wall systems. In addition to the durability and ease of maintenance inherent to any terracotta cladding, LOPO China terracotta facade panel system incorporates ship-lapped open joints that shield the structural wall from wind driven rain and snow while also ventilating the air space to mitigate mold and mildew growth. Beyond the functionality of the system, the plasticity of LOPO China offers profile opportunities to designers not available in alternate rainscreen cladding materials.
China LOPO also offers sunshade devices as part of our Terracotta product line. They can be used in combination with the terracotta wall cladding system or as a standalone feature. A true marriage of form and function, these sunshade devices aid in reduction of glare and help to shield inhabitants from the sun similar to traditional blinds, while also giving designers a component with which to create a unique, modern building design aesthetic.
