Whether for a historic renovation or FISP-designated repair project, there’s no need to sacrifice the long-lasting durability of real terra cotta by using alternate materials. The benefits of true in-kind masonry replacement can be achieved in a timely manner.
When properly installed and maintained, architectural terra cotta can last centuries with little to no UV fading. The NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission often insists that only terra cotta can replace itself because of its unique natural qualities, and advises against using alternate materials for in-kind replacement.
BENEFITS
Boston Valley’s clay mix has been specifically developed for high performance under a wide range of climate conditions, including frequent freeze-thaw cycles.
When combined with our efficient, multi-process fabrication approach, the value of using architectural terra cotta for in-kind replacement cannot be matched by other materials such as concrete or GRG.
BENEFITS
Boston Valley has specific equipment dedicated to fabricating replacement units for FISP projects and small restoration projects that need a low number of units. This allows us to produce terra cotta quickly and efficiently for façade maintenance, despite large demand.
Façade restoration efforts help ensure that aging buildings are properly and regularly maintained, reducing the risk of dangerous falling debris hazards to the public.
BENEFITS
With new technologies and advanced facilities, Boston Valley can evaluate drawings to replicate existing terra cotta units in real-time for highly accurate replacement strategies and cost estimates.
Contact our team early to plan your façade maintenance program for a long-lasting repair, and stay compliant with NYCDOB regulations.
