📊 Comparison Table: Terracotta Blocks vs. Other Materials
- Weather Resistance:
Terracotta breeze blocks and terracotta jali blocks offer excellent durability, with strong resistance to UV exposure and acid rain. In contrast, wooden screens deteriorate quickly due to rot, aluminum screens provide moderate resistance, and GRC screens (glass fiber reinforced concrete) also have good durability. - Maintenance Requirements:
Terracotta blocks require very low maintenance over their lifespan. Wooden screens demand frequent upkeep, aluminum screens need moderate maintenance, while GRC screens fall somewhere in between. - Fire Resistance:
Terracotta and GRC screens are non-combustible and provide excellent fire safety. Wooden screens, however, are flammable, and aluminum screens are also non-combustible. - Eco-Friendliness:
Terracotta blocks are made from natural clay, offering excellent eco-friendly credentials. Wooden screens score moderately on environmental impact, aluminum screens are less sustainable due to energy-intensive production, and GRC screens have a moderate environmental profile. - Visual Appeal:
Terracotta blocks provide a warm, natural, and richly textured appearance. Wooden screens also give a warm aesthetic but can look worn over time. Aluminum screens have a cold, metallic finish, while GRC screens generally offer a uniform, less distinctive look. - Lifespan:
Terracotta breeze blocks can last 50 years or more with minimal maintenance. Wooden screens typically last 5–10 years before needing replacement, aluminum screens last around 10–20 years, and GRC screens offer a lifespan of approximately 20–30 years.

Installation of CLAY Ventilation Blocks & Clay Jali BLOCKS
Terracotta screen blocks and clay jali elements can be installed using several reliable methods to create secure, ventilated facades. Common installation options for these decorative clay screens include:
- Bracket System: Stainless steel or galvanized brackets fix terracotta ventilation blocks to concrete or masonry walls, allowing easy alignment and creating an effective ventilated cavity.
- Framing System: Concealed aluminum frames provide a clean appearance and strong support, suitable for both modern and traditional architectural facades.
- Mortar Method: For certain designs or structural needs, blocks can be installed directly using cement mortar, which offers a solid, integrated finish.
During installation, it’s important to ensure consistent spacing for natural ventilation, account for building movement and thermal expansion, and use high-quality fasteners to maintain facade integrity. These steps help achieve the best performance and aesthetics for ventilated clay facades.
