Specifier/Regulator

I am researching ceramic extrusions for use on a building facade. The specification is cylindrical, 45mm outside dia. x 1500mm length, pale gray colour, lightly textured finish. I understand that rollers used in certain kilns, eg. Reidhammer, fit this description. Does anyone know of ceramics manufacturers making such items and whether they will degrade under a freeze/thaw cycle?
