Terra Cotta Restoration Chicago

Terra cotta, glazed and unglazed, has been a decorative building material since the late 19th century and is still used today. Originally introduced as a cheaper alternative to natural stone, terra cotta has become a medium unto itself. Terra cotta restoration in Chicago involves patching and repairing glazed surfaces with specialty mortars and coatings. And addressing moisture penetration and sealing and anchoring is crucial to prevent further damage behind the terra cotta units.
