    MADE exclusively IN Saltillo, Mexico.

    Terracotta Saltillo tiles are composed of all-natural clay, formed and finished entirely by hand.

    TEXTURE

    NATURAL VARIATIONS

    Look for unique surface variations and textures, as these are telltale signs of genuine handmade tiles. These beautiful characteristics are exclusive to authentic tiles, like ours.

    It is normal to find natural indentations, bumps, divots, scuffs, and variations on the surface. Excess clay or minor chips may be present on the surface, edges, or back of the tile. Irregular marks or lines that resemble fold marks may be present, all of which are common characteristics of authentic, handmade terracotta tile.

    COLOR

    "TERRATONES"

    Embrace a variation of hues from blush pink to golden peach to sunny yellow, with an array of variation in every batch. Colors differ from piece to piece. Natural color variations emerge during the firing process, which creates a range of colors that cannot be controlled.

    The choice of sealer will impact the final color outcome. The size and shape of the pieces can influence the degree of color variation, with larger pieces showcasing more diversity compared to smaller ones.

    SHEEN

    MATTE SEALED

    The matte sealed terracotta is pre-sealed during production to protect it from water absorption. However, prolonged exposure to heavy moisture and foot traffic may cause discoloration, darkening, and staining over time.

    To increase longevity, we recommend sealing with Miracle Sealant Porous Plus, for a matte finish, or Ultra-Low VOC Sealant (satin finish, darken color) as an added layer of water repellent.

    VARIATION

    V3 MODERATE VARIATION: Notable variations in size, flatness, texture and color.

    Variation ratings provide a general indication of the range of variation, but batches may differ in more or less consistency. It is not possible to choose a specific high or low range of variation.
