    Frequently Asked Questions

    Natural cladding refers to exterior wall or façade materials derived from organic or raw sources, such as terracotta, brick or cement. These materials undergo minimal processing and retain their original characteristics, adding an authentic biophilic element to a build.

    What is the best type of natural cladding?

    The best type of natural cladding depends on your building’s practical requirements and aesthetic goals. If you require natural-looking, affordable rainscreen cladding, we recommend Smartbric. If you’re after exceptionally durable and strong panels that will develop a lovely patina over time, we recommend Genesis. If you want earthy, warm cladding panels that are cost-effective, we suggest Clayton Terracotta.
