HANDMADE TERRACOTTA BRICKS ONE OF THE BEST NATURAL CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL
Sebastian Perez, HandmadeTerracotta Bricks are one of the best Natural Construction Material for the construction of Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective Buildings .
A clay brick is a traditional masonry construction element. It may be
solid or perforated and may be used for building or paving.
Terracotta/earthenware was the only known type of ceramic produced by Western and pre-Columbian people until the 14th century, when imported European fired stoneware began production. Terracotta has been used throughout history for sculpture and pottery as well as for bricks and roof shingles. In ancient times, the first clay sculptures were dried (baked) in the sun after being formed. They were later placed in the ashes of open hearths to harden, and finally kilns were used, similar to those used for pottery today. However, only after firing to high temperature would it be classed as a ceramic material.
These bricks are used in load-bearing walls, partition walls, facing,
ceilings and floors. Solid bricks offer good thermal properties, load
bearing capacities and compressive strength.
Solid clay brick offers several advantages over other structural
materials. It has very high compressive strength, requires no formwork,
its constituent materials are widely available and its manufacture is
less damaging to the environment than the production of concrete. A clay
brick may be produced in different ways. It is molded and may be fired
or naturally air dried.
Architectural terracotta refers either to decorated ceramic elements such as antefixes and revetments, usually brightly painted, which made a large contribution to the appearance of temples and other buildings in the classical architecture of Europe, as well as in the Ancient Near East, or to forms of ceramic skins used to surface buildings from the 19th century onwards. In the latter sense unglazed architectural terracotta became fashionable as an architectural ceramic construction material In Spain in the 1570s, in England in the 1860s, and in the United States in the 1870s.
Terracotta had the advantage of being cheap and light. It was adaptable to mass-production techniques for stock shapes, although the plaster moulds had a limited capability for re-use. Additionally it could be freely worked by craftsmen to make custom-sculptured adornments and plaques. It was accepted as a material by the Arts and Crafts movement because despite seeming a mass-produced material it was handmade and designed by craftsmen. It had a manufacture time of about eight weeks and each piece had to be made over-size to allow for shrinkage as the clay body dried. To avoid cracking the pieces had to be quite thin.

QUALITY TERRACOTTA WILL LAST FOREVER
Since the constructive use of the cooked clay was introduced in Spain by the Greeks in the S. VII A.C., there have been innumerable changes in the way of producing ceramics in Spain. New typologies of product, amplitude of formats, great technological advances, etc . However, some companies like Sebastián Perez S.L. with more than 100 years of experience, have managed to keep intact
the essence of handmade clay tiles and the rustic stoneware of the past.
Terracotta ("baked earth") is basically a hard, fired unglazed clay. Its distinctive feature is its reddish-brown color.
Terracotta is one of the oldest tile materials around, dating back to the birth of Christ, when it was sun-dried rather than oven-fired. "Quality terracotta will last forever," says Dave Gobis, executive director of the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation.

The clay tiles are an essential contribution to a pleasant and healthy atmosphere in the rooms. The porous material of the baked clay provides a climatic balance in the rooms and makes it an ideal surface for radial underfloor heating systems.Made of natural materials that are very durable; A variety of finish styles available (none to high gloss); Warm and earthy feel; Suitable for indoor and outdoor uses; Resistant to mold and bacterial growth.
While wood and stone flooring are often popular options in modern homes, there is another timeless classic that brings forth images of relaxing Mediterranean retreats and gorgeous Spanish Revival interiors - the terracotta tile.
Terracotta tiles have been around for a long, long time, and the fact that they are made completely naturally is a plus. Apart from adding coziness and warm elegance to the interior, terracotta tiles bring a sense of uniqueness and also give a modern interior a more grounded, elegant appeal. While a favorite among homeowners looking to usher in rustic, Mediterranean and other old-world styles, terracotta tile works surprisingly well in contemporary settings as well.

USING TERRACOTTA BRICKS
One of our completed projects. A house with terracotta bricks finishes. The use of terracotta bricks is used to create design. The new trends of the architects use natural and traditional building elements to create a modern design.
The handmade terracotta bricks & tiles can be placed in various places such as bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, terraces, barbecues, stairs, exteriors, etc. It also can combine with stone, wood or other material. The only limit is the imagination.
Due to its manufacturing process and the handmade terracotta pieces have light variations of shades and finishes, all measurements and thicknesses are different, which creates a very pleasant effect on the floor of the room. No two terracotta tiles are equals.
