In the world of architectural design, where tradition meets innovation, Fairview presents Clayton terracotta cladding.
Clayton offers a canvas for architects and designers to express their creativity. Harnessing the raw beauty of Earth's colour palette, the panels create stunning and enduring facades. The controlled kiln-firing techniques ensure that terracotta's natural colours remain vibrant and resistant to fading over time.
Architects can play with a variety of terracotta panel textures, stimulating fluidity, dynamism and depth. Experimenting with Clayton profiles enhances the interplay of light, shadows and dimension, opening limitless design opportunities.
The versatility of Clayton extends to its installation, allowing for both horizontal and vertical orientation. The Baguette range not only adds colour, depth and form to buildings but can also serve as an effective sunshade or screen.
With one of the largest ranges of panel profiles in the industry, Clayton has a variety of pigments, oxides and glazes available for designers to create infinite colours and finishes. For an urban build that will turn heads, consider Clayton specialised finishes, including Glazed Broken Glass, Frottage and Chromatic Rainbow.
The built environment represents about 40% of all emissions worldwide. In Australia, approximately 16% of all carbon emissions generated from the built environment come from the products and materials used in the construction of buildings.
The following stages of a building’s lifecycle all contribute to its embodied carbon footprint: upfront carbon emissions, use-stage embodied carbon and end-of-life carbon.
Specifying natural cladding that is manufactured from Earth’s raw materials is a key factor to lowering the upfront emissions of the build and assisting in the decarbonisation of the built environment.
Crafted from 100% natural raw materials, Clayton panels can be easily repurposed or returned to the earth after the building is demolished or deconstructed, aligning with eco-friendly construction principles to reduce the build’s upfront and end-of-life carbon.
Installed as a rainscreen facade system, Clayton contributes to improved ventilation and regulates temperatures and airflow. Its sustainable design avoids the need for grout or sealants, reducing maintenance requirements for facade upkeep. Clayton terracotta panels not only resist dust but self-clean with rainfall, minimising the use-stage embodied carbon even further.
This low-maintenance building product emerges as an eco-conscious alternative, offering beautiful designs with enhanced energy efficiency, noise reduction and weather protection.
Deemed non-combustible under C2D10(5)(G) NCC22, Clayton also stands strong against impacts, scratches and dents, making it the perfect facade system for clad A, B and C developments.
