Terreal skills

Each of TERREAL Façade’s industrial sites in France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, has its own architectural vision and brings its own expertise to the Group. There is a wide range of colours and shapes.
- The TERREAL plant in Revel (Haute-Garonne, France) benefits from its proximity to the Saint-Papoul quarry, from where most of the clay used in the manufacture of its cladding products come.
- The products from Revel are covered by a French technical standard and subject to the “CSTB Certified” certification (administered by the CSTB, the French construction industry’s scientific and technical centre). This document defines a product or process, its characteristics and its method of use. It reflects the opinion of a commission of experts, based on the observation of a considerable number of sites. The CSTB ensures that the products we manufacture always conform to the technical standards.
- The Rieussequel site in the Tarn in France manufactures all the facing bricks (bricks and slips) in the “Classics” and “Contemporaries” range and also a large range of accessories (half bricks, sunscreens , etc.). The bricks manufactured in Rieussequel comply with the NF EN 771-1 Compil standard and are marked “CE2+”. The control and monitoring plan for these bricks is checked once a year by an approved body (CTMNC).
- The Terracotta facing bricks meet the requirements of the NF P 13-307 standard for laying in accordance with unified technical document 52.2. All Rieussequel products therefore comply with aesthetic, geometric characteristics (dimensions, flatness, straightness), physical and chemical properties (conventional expansion under humidity, frost resistance, breaking under deflection) as defined in current French standards.
The Entroncamento site is a modern factory in Portugal specializing in long-length cladding products. It can boast the latest manufacturing processes which provide great flexibility and extensive production capacity, enabling it to produce custom products, so far as colour, surface-finishes such as glazing, and size are concerned.
