Pioneering Terracotta Excellence, Blending Tradition with Innovation.

The many faces of Clay!

Burnt clay is the foundation of terracotta, a versatile material used in a wide array of products, from building components and household items to decorative accents.

Wet Clay Technique

This traditional approach involves grinding clay to a precise moisture level, eliminating air pockets, and shaping it through a combination of pressing and extrusion.

Powdered Clay Method

In this advanced process, pulverized clay is carefully moisturized and pressed into intricate forms.

Although both methods produce products with similar strength and durability, they differ in terms of surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The powdered clay method yields more refined surfaces and tighter tolerances, but at a higher cost and with limitations on maximum product size.

( b ) 14x9x2.5( Maruthi Blocks) Installation Guidelines

Level Surface Preparation

Lay blocks on a level surface, with a uniform sand spread.

Adequate Socking

Ensure good socking before laying blocks to prevent settling issues.

Controlled Watering

Spray water to maintain moisture, avoiding dryness. Refrain from pouring water, as it may disrupt the sand spread.

Joint Preparation

Pre-fill joints with a mixture of dry cement powder and fine sand to prevent leakage during concreting.

Effective Curing

Apply thorough curing after concreting to guarantee optimal strength and durability.

Wall Bricks

Best Practices for Wall Bricks

Proper Curing

Provide adequate curing to prevent cracking and promote strength.

Skilled Workforce

Employ experienced and skilled workers for precise bricklaying.

Reinforced Corners

Pre-fill corner bricks with cement mortar or concrete for added stability and strength.

04

Wall Tiles

Wall Tile Installation Essentials

Double-Check Socking

Ensure thorough socking to prevent unevenness.

Proper Curing

Provide adequate curing to guarantee durability.

Flexible Fixing Options

Use either ordinary cement or specialized tile fixtures for a secure bond.

05

Floor Tiles

Floor Tile Installation and Maintenance:

Seal Floor Concrete

Ensure complete closure of pores on the floor concrete to prevent damage.

Waterproofing Recommended

Apply waterproofing to protect the floor from moisture-related issues.

Accommodate Size Variation

Leave 3mm joints between tiles to allow for size variations and fill with a mixture of cement, oxide, or tile fillers.

Post-Installation Care

Wipe the tiles daily with a water-soaked cloth for at least a week after installation to:
– Prevent drying out
– Remove excess color and material residue from pointing
