8 THE RAINSCREEN SYSTEM TERRART -FLEX-SYSTEM The NBK TERRART ceramic clay tile façade system, which is based on the rainscreen principle, is custom designed and engineered. The vertical joints are backed by a support system which drains rainwater away from the cavities behind. The gaskets, together with balanced air pressure, discourages water from entering the wall cavities. The tile design allows for air to flow through open joints, which helps to balance air pressure in the cavities behind the terra cotta cladding elements with that of outside air, hence, the term pressure equalization. Driven rainwater will not enter the cavities because of the overlapping joints ( protected openings ) and lack of pressure differential. The back ventilation assists in maintaining a dry cavity and negates the build up of hot air, an additional benefit to the TERRART rainscreen system.

All pieces are carefully packed; fibreboard and styrofoam are used as spacers so that the tiles cannot touch each other. This packing will limit damage during shipping and transport under normal conditions. The advantages of the TERRART product series are appreciated by an ever increasing number of architects. The versatility and the almost limitless applicability of the terra cotta façade elements open up possibilities that creative and innovative designers need to realize their ideas.
