Terraçade, Austral Bricks’ revolutionary lightweight terracotta facade system, is now making inroads into the premium residential and smaller commercial markets. Joining the original Terraçade system, renamed Terraçade XP, is Terraçade TL, designed specifically for smaller scale structures. The TL system tiles are the same size (300 x 600mm) as XP tiles and offer the same level of weather protection and natural aesthetics. (Terraçade TL has been successfully tested to AS/NZS 4284 Testing of Building Facades for water penetration and structural integrity.)     NOVEMBER 2006

Easy to install

Installation is even easier, with TL tiles captured and supported on a purpose-designed vertical suspension system. The rails can be connected directly to a timber or steel frame – a waterproof membrane is available from Austral Bricks – or a concrete or masonry structural wall. A full range of trims is available to complement or accent the natural terracotta finish.

Austral Brick has taken terracotta’s legendary durability a step further with the development of Terrashield, a surface enhancement that is bonded mechanically and chemically to the tile during manufacture. Terrashield-treated tiles resist pollution, grime and graffiti, and are even easier to clean. And Terrashield doesn’t break down, even in our harsh climate.

 
Comprehensive warranty

The Terraçade TL System comes in five natural terracotta colours and is backed by Austral Bricks unbeatable 10-year system warranty and a 50-year warranty on colourfastness and durability.

Terraçade TL is now available Australia-wide from Austral Bricks. More information at www.terracade.com.au, including an installation manual, Natspec clauses, test results, CAD details and renderable images.
