Terra Ferro
Oxidised iron texture, specified for ventilated façade.
What this finish is for
T08 is a dark warm grey-brown with a subtle rust mottling and a fine relief texture. It is the collection’s exterior finish: at 20 mm it is used on ventilated façade systems with open joints, and at 12 mm for internal feature walls and plinths.
Frost resistance and colour stability under UV are the two properties that matter on a façade, and both are functions of the body rather than a coating — there is no glaze to fail. The technical file includes the fixing tolerances the façade contractor will ask for at tender stage.
The mottling varies between slabs by design. On a façade this is the point; on a 900 mm plinth it can read as inconsistency, so for small areas we recommend selecting from a single batch.
Technical data
Typical values for the body. The two marked as sample references are supplied with this template and must be confirmed against your own project requirement before you rely on them.
A 3200 × 1600 slab is not a big tile
Two people and a frame move it; a suction rail does the rest. The reason the format matters is not the size of the slab, it is the number of joints that disappear from the drawing.
A three-metre island in 3200 comes out of one slab, with the waterfall ends book-matched from the same piece. In 1200 × 600 it is nine pieces and eight joints, and every one of those joints is a decision somebody has to make on site, at seven in the morning, with the client arriving at nine.
Others in this collection
Same body, same formats, same technical file structure — the difference is what the surface does in the room.
The technical file
Datasheet, CAD slab outlines and the care guide. No form, no email address required — the same files your fabricator will ask you for.
