terracotta replacement

The scope of work on this prewar apartment building built in 1926, included the replacement of complete arches, decorative blocks and cast-stone sills. Sixty different units using Microcotta were produced in an expedited time frame of two months, to the clients total satisfaction. One of the advantage of using Microcotta as a window lintel replacement is that it weighs significantly less than traditional terra cotta. The reduced weight load means lower installation costs. The material also saves money by offering shorter lead times and enhanced durability
