BRICK TYPES: Terracotta & Faïence

Modular Clay Products has a long track record in supplying terracotta and faïence blocks for restoration and contemporary building projects, including South Thames College and the Hackney Empire Theatre. Our deep expertise ranges from matching the subtle colour shades and ornate designs of the classical Victorian and Edwardian periods to replicating material from the Art Deco era of the 1920-1930s.

Terracotta blocks

Unglazed terracotta blocks became a familiar sight on UK streets from the 1860s and remain a firm favourite among leading architects, who value their natural colours, hard-wearing qualities and flexible applications.

Faïence blocks

Faïence blocks are architectural building blocks made of glazed stoneware. Sometimes known as ‘architectural ceramics’ or ‘glazed architectural terracotta’, faïence blocks share all the benefits of terracotta blocks, but also have natural light-reflecting qualities and can be used to create highly intricate designs and patterns.
