Terracotta

Yeah.

And our signage is, uh, going to be Italian, you know, with, Terracotta roofs on the top of the signs and, you know, kind of low monument-type signs that are attractive.

And so it's a unique development in the sense that when you come in, like you come in on Portofino Boulevard.

Ah.

Hold on.

Terracotta.

Terracotta? That's too specific.

Yeah.

Hold on.

In the latter case, the walls have to resist the wind pressure unsupported by the steel frame, and therefore, they must be of a sufficient width.

Brick and terracotta blocks are used for construction generally.

Terracotta blocks are also much used in the flooring and for this purpose have several advantages over other materials.

They are absolute fireproof.

They weigh less per cubic foot than any other kind of fireproof flooring, and they are almost soundproof.

So clay is simply broken down to its basics, microscopic mineral particles that come from decomposing rocks and other organic materials in the world.

Terracotta refers to an iron-rich, non-vitreous, porous body that is typically less refined and as compared to stoneware or porcelain, which takes a lot more refinement and is fired at a hotter temperature.

And with those other two types of clay, ultimately, the vessels that are made with that material are non-porous, they're vitreous, they're sealed, or what we would call as potters being sintered.

So the material that we're using for the Novum has been a complicated thing to engineer.
