PROJECT
Add
excitement to extensive exterior wall panels of an entertainment
complex. The tile had to withstand
freeze-thaw cycles. Glaze color
had to remain consistent when tile from over one hundred firings were
combined to cover large areas.
SOLUTION
Magnificent
Manufacturing developed a clay with freeze-thaw rating of ASTM C-1036.
A wave pattern
was designed to bring texture and
movement
to the installation. Three thousand 8"x 8" accent tiles were installed
and color match from one firing to another was perfect.
