Produced by San Selmo in Italy, the SK1N Terracotta Facade System combines traditional terracotta’s natural aesthetic with contemporary engineering to create a durable, sustainable building envelope that is suitable for high-end residential projects. The product’s technical specifications are impressive — the non-combustible clay tiles were fired at high temperatures to ensure colorfast performance with minimal maintenance.
Beyond durability, SK1N incorporates functional innovations like a rear-ventilated rainscreen system that enhances energy efficiency through improved thermal regulation and air circulation. Available in seven organic color variations, the system supports biophilic design principles while offering design flexibility through its linear format and customizable vertical joints. The installation process has been streamlined with pre-drilled tiles and horizontal channel furring for efficient application on both new constructions and renovations.
