Terracotta Panel
LOPO Terracotta Panels
Terracotta Panels are one of the most recognized terracotta cladding materials, typically made from weathered natural clay, extruded under vacuum, and fired in a high-temperature roller kiln to achieve superior density and color consistency.
LOPO Terracotta Panels are high-performance façade elements that build upon this advanced manufacturing process to deliver outstanding design flexibility, color stability, and durability. They support multiple installation systems, including solid wall and rainscreen façade assemblies. With customizable finishes, profiles, and textures, LOPO panels empower architects to realize distinctive and sustainable design visions for contemporary architecture.
Cladding Types
Based on different installation methods and application scenarios, LOPO terracotta panels can be categorized into two types of cladding panels:
• Solid Terracotta Tile
• Terracotta Rainscreen Façade Panel
Solid Terracotta Tile
The Solid Terracotta Tile is a lightweight, durable terracotta cladding solution designed for precast concrete and architectural wall systems. With its slim profile and high structural stability, it reduces façade load while delivering the natural warmth and texture of terracotta. The tiles can be installed using cement adhesive or mechanical fixing systems. When bonded to precast concrete panels, the tile’s dovetail back profile ensures a high-strength bond between the concrete and the terracotta facade.
LOPO offers two joint options — straight edge and shiplap rainscreen joint — ensuring design flexibility and reliable performance for both interior applications and low-rise exterior façades.
