With floor-high prefabricated parts brick achitecture can even be applied in a modern, economic type of construction, particularly suitable fornon-residential, high-risebuildings.

With TERCA facing bricks your building is sustainably protected against weathering influences. In a cavity wall construction, the supporting wall as well as the structural building elements and any thermal insulation receive lasting protection against moisture, water, cold and heat. The "breathing" weather shell works not only ideally on the longterm preservation of the building's structure, but also on the indoor climate. Since TERCA bricks are made to serve generations, not even the harshest weather conditions will harm the radiance of their colours. Quite the contrary - they become still more attractive under the influence of sun, wind and rain.

In addition, in the event of fire, the brick facade cannot catch fire, thus preventing the spreading of the fire and consequent damages or personal injuries.
 

The decision for the right building material is a decision for life. TERCA facing bricks offer countless advantages ecologically and economically speaking. With a layer of insulation between the brick facade and the supporting wall, you save up to two-thirds of your usual heating costs during winter times. Apart from their optimal insulation quality, cavity walls also work as a natural air-conditioning system in periods of hot weather, preventing your house from over-heating. Hence, cooling costs, which are a dramatically underrated source of energy consumption, can be reduced substantially.

Brick is renowned as a long lasting building material for 5,000 years. No wonder that cavity walls particularly exhibit their strengths over the longer term, guaranteeing retained value for generations. Since TERCA brick facades maintain their timeless beauty for ages, maintenance work - if any -is considered as a negligible cost. Moreover,no further expenses for regular paint coatings will incur. Thus, you can be certain that the money you spend on your facade is well invested.

As a natural building material, TERCA facade bricks make a valuable contribution to a comfortable indoor climate and a healthy living atmospere where you can truly feel at home. Brick has ideal moisture properties absorbing interior moisture and releasing it again quickly into the external atmosphere. Consequently, the wall surfaces of the inside shell remain dry during every season and ensure a confortable living environment.

In addition to a balanced room climate all year long, the use of a cavity wall is also an effective barrier against noise pollution. Solid exterior walls of TERCA clay bricks exhibit excellent sound insulation values securing your personal well-being in your home.
