David,
I have done three buildings recently in glazed block and a couple more
over the years in New Haven, CT. Although the scope varied from
patching, removal, molds or actual Terra Cotta replacement (more details
if you need them), I have always used Edison Products for the work.
Michael is very knowledgeable and I highly recommend him for your
projects: http://www.edisoncoatings.com/
Best,
Leland

Subject: [BP] Glazed architectural terracotta
I'm working on several interesting projects at present involving glazed
terracotta cladding to buildings. Two of the buildings are of late 1920s
vintage, with ornate cornices and decorative elements, and one is 1950s,
with flat tiling. Heights range between 8 and 13 storeys.
Across the three buildings, I suspect that we have a
complete collection of problems associated with glazed terracotta
cladding.
I'm looking for some ideas in relation to a couple of
questions:
1. If you had to suggest one or two people who could
be considered to be 'experts' on the deterioration and conservation of
glazed architectural terracotta, who would they be (and how do I get in
touch with them)?
2. If I or a colleague was in New York, which
buildings with glazed architectural terracotta would
you suggest we look at with regard to the best (and
the worst) of conservation practices. If anybody
could propose contacts to facilitate better than
'walk-by' viewings of these buildings, that would be
fantastic.
Cheers
