Unique Advantages of LOPO Terracotta Rainscreen

A terracotta rainscreensystems from LOPO China usually consists of an out terracotta panel, a ventilated cavity and an inner facade. Actually ,this kind of terracotta rainscreen cladding system is pressure equalized, why? Because the joints are open to allow pressure equalization in driving rain conditions to be instantaneous. Pressure inside the cavity is equal to pressure outside so that precipitation has no inclination to be driven into cavity. Most of the water is deflected off the outside face – any penetrating water is disposed of through drainage.
