Terraco's High-Performance Facade Systems Address Sustainability Gap in Offsite Construction
Valued at USD 172 billion in 2024, the global offsite construction sector is anticipated to grow to USD 225.7 billion by 2030. Buildings contribute to 39% of the world's carbon emissions linked to energy, with embodied carbon projected to account for nearly half of new building emissions by the middle of the century. Traditional facade systems typically degrade, necessitating repainting every 3-7 years. With uninsulated walls causing up to 45% of heat loss, thermal efficiency is vital. Exterior Insulation Finishing Systems (EIFS) can lower cooling requirements by 31%. Terraco’s textured coatings, such as Terracoat render, are 10-15 times thicker than standard paints and provide a durability of 15 years. The UAE targets 25-30% offsite content in public projects by 2030, while the UK is ahead with 15-20%.
