3 Custom doesn t begin to cover it. Acme TC Cladding consists of five product lines: Tiles, Rainscreen Light, Rainscreen, Sealed, and Sunshade. Made from fired terracotta, these products can be customized in a variety of ways with a wide range of colors, surfaces, shapes and sizes. Terracotta is durable, moisture resistant, and noncombustible. All these benefits are achieved with a lightweight product. The modern, clean aesthetics offer limitless design possibilities.
