Faience
- The uses of terracotta and its glazed counterpart faience in architectural work are many and varied.
- Virtually impervious to moisture, faience is consequently unaffected by frost. The vitrified surface, capable of withstanding high temperatures also acts as a natural repellent to ordinary harmful atmospheric gases.
- Cold-cast terracotta, a popular and widely-used medium, is not only produced in the company's precast works, but its innovation was developed by Universal Stone's personnel.
- Cold-cast terracotta and faience has load-bearing capabilities above and beyond kiln-fired clay terracotta, and as such, much larger reinforced units can be designed for manufacture.
- With the face-applied cold glaze available, a range of different colours and finishes can be achieved and units can be much more quickly produced than comparable clay products.
