CastCotta – Replacement or transition from Terracotta – First we had stone, then we had Terracotta with over 100 plants in the US alone, Now there are only three, two in the US and one in the UK suppling primarily replacement units. Consider the next transition is CastCotta, a cast unit that has the decorative capabilities of Terracotta, but is as easy to use as a CMU, with all the textures, shapes and glazes we have come to know, with similar ease of installation. Architects, please consider the possibilities not only for replacement but also New Construction accent pieces. CastCotta can provide this transition.”
