What are clay lattice panels and what are they used for?

Clay lattice panels are ceramic modules (fired terracotta) with perforations that allow air and light to pass through while maintaining privacy. At Cerámicas Maora, each piece is made using artisanal processes similar to those used for our tiles, thus preserving the authenticity of the terracotta and a highly decorative character.

On construction sites, they are used to filter sunlight, ventilate damp areas, create structured screens, or dress garden walls without completely enclosing them.

Materials and finishes of Maora Ceramics Clay Lattice Tiles

The raw material is natural fired clay (terracotta). This controlled porosity and slight variations in tone give the authentic look sought by architects and decorators. From there, you can choose protections according to use (interior/exterior, salinity, stains).

Natural terracotta (fired clay)

Most popular finish: mineral feel and warm color with subtle variations between pieces. Ideal for exteriors and protected patios.

Colorless water repellent (on-site treatment)

Recommended for walls exposed to rain or near swimming pools. Reduces absorption without altering the tone.

Sealer/stain protectant (on-site treatment)

For high-traffic areas or interior spaces near the kitchen/dining room. Facilitates cleaning and maintains the patina.

Handcrafted patinas/tones

The firing process and the clay itself provide color nuances. This "life" prevents the surface from looking flat, key to Mediterranean aesthetics.

How to choose clay latticework according to climate, orientation, and wind exposure

For the latticework to function beautifully and effectively, it's advisable to combine design with site conditions. These quick guidelines will help you get it right the first time:

• Humid or coastal climate: prioritize more robust format pieces (e.g., 17×9×8 or 22×9.5 cm) and apply a water repellent after installation.
• South/west facing (strong sun): more closed patterns (flower, cross) for intense shading; in north/east facing, you can open up the pattern more (diamond, geometric).
• Prevailing wind: if there are gusts, choose trellises with small openings or mix models to distribute the load; reinforce with profiles/stringers depending on the panel.
• Privacy vs. visibility: the more privacy, the smaller the opening; For walkways or garden areas, opt for more open patterns.
• Maintenance:In areas with dust or saltpeter, choose modules that are easily accessible for cleaning and preventative sealing.

Finish decorative details with moldings and listels that harmonize with the overall design.

Common mistakes (what NOT to do) with clay lattice on site

Avoid laying without planning: define the layout and finishing before starting. Do not use unsuitable mortars or lay on weak supports. Do not risk long, self-supporting sections without auxiliary structure (pillars, frames, or coping).

Don't forget joints and gaps for small tolerances and expansion. Avoid sealing with products that alter the tone if you want a natural finish. And, of course, consult local regulations when the panel acts as a partition element. Define the tone of the project with facing bricks in different colors and formats.
