GEOPIETRA® - Guida alla posa e stuccatura del mattone Terrakotta - Official Video 🇮🇹

Terrakotta cladding brick is experiencing a new era. Visit our website: https://www.geopietra.it/ Thanks to its materiality and historical charm, it is a prominent feature in the architectural designs of large cities or in the warm atmospheres of villas and farmhouses. The natural shades of red, pink, brown, and yellow create visually striking solutions, ideal for transforming and adding beauty to the exterior or interior walls of homes. Terrakotta reconstructed brick, designed and perfected for use with GEOPIETRA® reconstructed stone, combines high technical qualities, high breathability, and exceptional frost resistance. Terrakotta, thanks to its characteristics, enhances the insulation performance and makes the external thermal insulation structure more robust and resistant. In the natural terracotta version, Terrakotta cladding bricks retain the charm and characteristics of traditional bricks, proven over the centuries. The mixes, passed down through generations and perfected for their cohesion and strength, are shaped in molds and fired in a kiln at 800°C - 1000°C. The essential innovation consists in cutting the front of the brick to create strips and corner pieces just a few centimeters thick, suitable for installation on any surface. Once grouted, they will be indistinguishable from traditional load-bearing brickwork. Terrakotta bricks, subjected to aging processes and surface alterations, may present mortar residue, patinas, oxidation, or tumbled corners, depending on the case, to achieve unique characteristics and recreate different atmospheres and styles. In brickwork, along with the choice of size and color of the strips, the finishing with GEOBI mortar is essential, as is a certain mastery in its processing, which is essential to determining the character and expressiveness of the result. A well-executed grouting technique is as important as the choice of brick itself: both in terms of color tone and processing method, the stucco significantly complements the beauty and credibility of Terrakotta reconstructed brick walls.
