ARCHITECTURAL TERRACOTTA

Since its founding in 1927, NBK® Architectural Terracotta

has pursued progress through diversity of product, building
a strong record of facade innovation and collaboration
along the way. Traditional craft methods refined over
decades—combined with cutting-edge manufacturing
techniques—have led to high-performance facade panels
that blend beautiful materials with the latest technology in
ventilated rainscreen facades.

NBK’s dedication to research and development inspires

material engineers and master manufacturers to develop
processes that constantly test new materials and glazes in
combination with firing techniques and production methods
ensuring tiles meet exacting project requirements for design
and performance.

Since joining the Hunter Douglas Group in 2007, NBK has

invested heavily in manufacturing facilities and significantly
increased its global capabilities. Today, architects increasingly
specify NBK and its hallmark TERRART™ System, creating
durable, high-performing facades for a wide range of projects
around the world, from recladding and restoration of existing
structures to construction of inspiring new building designs.

RAINSCREEN
The NBK® TERRART™ façade system is designed and engineered based on the rainscreen principle.
The design allows for air to flow through open joints to balance air pressure and minimize water
penetration. Back ventilation assists in maintaining a dry cavity and negates the build up of hot air.

COLORS
NBK’s expertise in complex mixing techniques and traditional firing methods sets the standard
for terracotta facade design. The 18 standard colors appear below. Custom colors are available
for all TERRART™ products. Colors shown are for representation only.
FINISHES
reduction fired
NBK’s Reduction Firing technique reduces oxygen in the firing process to give terracotta tiles a unique metallic
appearance. The metallic expression of Reduction Fired tiles varies depending upon the light, much like their
metal counterparts, while retaining the durability and weather resistant qualities of terracotta. Diverse metallic
colors, from gray tones to deep red hues, create color variation and visually contrasting facades.

glazes and engobes

Glaze finishes, available in different gloss levels from matte to high gloss as well as a broad range of colors,
create lively and unique facade designs. Glazes are single or double fired. Double firing increases color

options and allows for glazed edges.

Engobe finishes also provide additional color options for facades. This cost-effective solution, available
in matte and semi-gloss, features white or colored slip-clay coating applied to the clay body to impart colors
or textures. All glaze and engobe finishes are durable and add to overall resiliency against the elements.
