Description

Protagonist of the magnificent classical tradition of architecture, from ancient Roman times to this day, innumerable buildings have been built with manually moulded terracotta tiles. At Sannini, this prestigious and now rare artisan procedure is effected by skilled workmen who model the clay with their bare hands using single wooden moulds obtained from splendid originals of the 17th century. There is no other force or energy, if not that of man, to drive the raw material into the moulds. Following drying, the material is extracted and brick by brick the edges are hand-trimmed with a knife. Loaded again by hand onto trolleys the clay remains in the kiln for four days in a direct flame, awaiting complete firing. The rough surface, the opaque colour which absorbs the light and throws out unmistakable reflections and tones, and the irregularities make each element a unique and unrepeatable exemplar. It is mounted according to the traditional system with 5 mm joints. For inside use to be treated after installation. On request also honed version available. Due to its physical-technical characteristics, “Fatto a Mano” can be installed in interiors or exteriors. Laying in freezing areas is allowed if the material is correctly installed and does not undergo any other surface treatment. For inside use the material requires a protective treatment in order to preserve the material’s original aesthetic and physical characteristics and to maintain the tiles unaltered over the years.
