As an environmentally-friendly exterior wall material, Clay wall panel has been widely used in large public buildings (government buildings, hospital, library, school, parking lot etc.) and high-end commercial buildings(apartment, shopping mall, office building etc.). In these large projects, wall facade Clay panel acts as an important exterior wall element that, through its surface texture, color collocation, shape and dimension, creates diverse architectural styles including magnificence or stylishness.
For small architectural projects such as villa, architectural designers previously were likely to prefer traditional exterior materials such as Clay face brick, marble stone and ceramic tile, as these buildings were small and many were even private projects. However, Clay facade panel is very flexible and varied when it comes to design as well as application in exterior walls. As for installation method, mechanical fixing or wet overlaying can be adopted; as for dimension, a variety of conventional dimensions are available, and Clay facade wall cladding panel can be cut as per the projects’ needs; as for visual display, Clay panel with texture and finish (natural flat, wood grainy, grooved, linear, sanding, corrugated surface) naturally formed in the process of extrusion or with colorful glazed surface can be selected. In villa projects, terracotta Cladding can be used to created unique styles for small architectural projects.
