SPECS

This material is a handmade, natural clay paver produced using traditional methods. Because each piece is shaped, handled, and fired individually, this collection naturally leans rustic and organic, with a wide range of surface character. Expect significant variation from piece to piece, including chips, open texture, irregular edges, surface crevices, and other naturally distressed features. These are typical of this artisan-made clay material and are not considered defects. Each paver will display its own unique level of texture and wear, contributing to an authentic, timeworn look once installed.

  • Size: 2.5 x 8.5 x 3.25
  • Variation Rating: V4 - High Variation
  • Coverage: 1 sq. ft. = 10.4 pieces
  • Notes: Sizing and shape variation are inherent due to the handmade, traditional production process.

Best Suited For

Projects that embrace organic variation and the warmth of natural clay, including:

  • Exterior pathways and walkways
  • Garden installations
  • Planter box walls and landscape accents
  • Designs seeking an old-world, reclaimed, or naturally weathered look
  • Spaces where irregularity and handmade charm are part of the aesthetic vision

Not Recommended For

  • Installations requiring precise, uniform sizing
  • Projects needing clean edges, smooth surfaces, or rectified finishes
  • Modern/minimalist applications where variation would be considered a flaw
  • Settings where chips or rough edges would be unacceptable

 

GROUT

GROUT JOINT
We suggest a grout joint of 3/8” minimum, with up to 1/2” being very common for this tile. Due to the natural variation in size, thickness, and edges, a slightly wider joint helps accommodate irregularities and results in a more balanced, intentional look.

GROUT TYPE
A monochromatic sanded grout is recommended. We commonly suggest Mapei Ultracolor Plus FA, as it performs well with wider joints, offers excellent color consistency, and has added durability for floors and heavier-use areas. (Laticrete Permacolor is also a solid alternative.)

As always, we recommend doing a small mock-up if possible to confirm joint size and grout color before full installation.

SEALING + MAINTENANCE

SEALING

All terracotta pavers arrive unsealed.

Thin Pavers (Interior): Sealing is recommended. Apply sealer before and after grouting to reduce staining and moisture absorption.

Thick Pavers (Exterior): Do not seal. Sealing exterior, sand-set pavers can trap moisture and lead to efflorescence.

Always test sealers prior to full installation, as sealers may alter color and sheen.

Outdoor Applications | Thick Pavers

Minimal maintenance is required. Regular sweeping, occasional joint sand refresh, and visual inspection will help address any movement or settling over time.

Indoor Applications | Thin Pavers

Routine care includes regular sweeping or vacuuming, damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner, prompt spill cleanup, and periodic resealing as needed based on traffic and use.

For full care and maintenance recommendations, check out our Sealing Guide.

INSTALLATION

Installation and Maintenance | Ultimate Paver Guide

Thin Pavers (Grouted Installation) | Thin pavers are installed much like traditional tile and are typically thinset-set and grouted.

  • Installed over a flat, rigid substrate (concrete slab, properly prepared subfloor, or backer board)
  • Set using polymer-modified LHT thinset mortar
  • Back-buttering is required to achieve full coverage
  • Grout joints are typically 3/8"–1/2"
  • Finished with sanded grout rather than sand
  • Best suited for interior floors, walls, and vertical applications

Thick Pavers (Sand-Set Installation) | Thick pavers are installed more like traditional masonry pavers and are typically sand-set, not grouted.

  • Installed over a compacted gravel base with a sand bedding layer
  • Set directly into washed concrete sand (no thinset)
  • Joints are filled with polymeric sand or joint sand
  • Pavers are plate-compacted after placement to lock everything in
  • Require edge restraints to prevent movement
  • Best suited for exterior spaces, patios, walkways, and ground-level applications

Thin and thick pavers are designed for different installation methods and environments. Using the correct installation system ensures proper performance, longevity, and the intended look of the material.
