CastCotta is presented as an alternative material to terracotta for new construction and restoration projects that provides the aesthetics of terracotta with improved sustainability, production, and installation. It can be used to replace terracotta for discrete elements and above the sixth story of landmarks based on compatibility with the NYC LPC requirements. CastCotta has a 40-year performance track record and can be produced and delivered more quickly than terracotta. It is presented as scalable solution based on an New York facility and is comparable to terracotta in applications and glazing options.

LANDMARKS CONSIDERATIONS BASED ON NYC LPC REQUIREMENTS Replacement of terra cotta must be in-kind at or below the sixth story at the primary facade(s), except substitute materials may be used for coping elements, as well as for limited quantities of other discrete elements that are not part of a cladding field of similar units where physical and visual compatibility is critical. In addition to these provisions, above the sixth story at primary facade(s), substitute materials may also be used at projecting cornices and balconies with weight and/or attachment issues when in-kind replacement has the potential to cause additional loss of surrounding materials, as determined by a licensed engineer. At Individual Landmarks, substitute material may not be used, except for coping elements, as well as for limited quantities of other discrete elements that are not part of a cladding field of similar units where physical and visual compatibility is critical."
CASTCOTTA CONSIDERATIONS BASED ON NYC LPC REQUIREMENTS substitute materials may be used for coping elements, as well as for limited quantities of other discrete elements that are not part of a cladding field of similar units where physical and visual compatibility is critical CASTCOTTA has the following attributes that should be considered in complying with the above statement and the regulation in general especially for Balcony. Window Surround and Water Table replacements; 1. CastCotta, comprised of Custom System 45 repair materials and coatings which have been in use and accepted for almost 40 years have been used on Landmark structures below six stories including the Buildings Front Entrance. 2. CastCotta , comprised of Custom System 45 repair materials and coatings, will, based on item 1 provide acceptable visual representation as an alternate for in-kind replacement. 3. CastCotta can be delivered to site in as little as 6 weeks. 4. Should there ever be need of repair of CastCotta due to transit breakage or in-situ damage the material is easily repaired based on the Custom System 45 history and should not receive an objection from the DOB because unlike Terracotta repair CastCotta is more similar to cast stone repair and accepted practice.
