About Us.
We are a new coming terracotta manufacturing company specializing in providing a high quality alternative solution for terracotta restoration.
Our Story.
Alternative Terracotta was founded to serve the Chicagoland and surrounding suburbs by providing a new solution for restoring the historic architecture. The truth is that with time, terracotta clay facades chip, crack, or break and require replacement. We know that each building has its own story, and want to help maintain the city’s rich history by replacing those damaged pieces of existing terracotta building facades with our products.
Original terracotta elements are not only expensive, but time consuming due to the extensive manufacturing process. This can result in delayed projects and unwanted expenses in maintaining the image of the original design. At Alternative Terracotta, we pride ourselves on creating a solution to all your terracotta restoration problems by offering an alternative option.
Our products are entirely customizable and identically replicable to the original design, so that you are guaranteed an ideal match which only you will know isn’t actual clay. They are made using a special formula that produces a cheaper, lighter, and more durable option. In addition, they are produced quicker resulting in an expedited execution.
We promise to deliver only the best alternative material for all your terracotta restoration needs.
