INSTALLATION DETAILS
INSTALLATION DETAILS
GROUT
For a modern look or expanded color options, use Mapei Ultracolor Plus FA.
For a classic Saltillo look, we recommend MAPEI 2-1/2 to 1 Saltillo Gray Sanded Grout, which complements the natural warmth and variation of handmade terracotta.
JOINT SPACING
Joint spacing typically ranges from 1/4" to 3/4".
- Smaller joints (1/4") create a cleaner, more modern look and work best with smaller tiles (6" and under). Expect slight variation due to the handmade nature of Saltillo.
- Larger joints (up to 3/4") work well with larger tiles, helping accommodate size variation while maintaining more traditional lines.
TRIM AND TRANSITIONS
When transitioning between terracotta and another material:
- Bullnose
- Wood transition - Creates a seamless connection to wood flooring. Finished height may vary slightly.
- Schluter trim - A clean aluminum edge for floors or walls. Ideal for a simple, modern finish.
- Exposed edge - For a more organic look. All exposed edges must be properly sealed.
IMPORTANT NOTES
- Shower walls require proper waterproofing and compatible sealers.
- Exterior applications require waterproofing, sealing, and ongoing maintenance. Not suitable for freezing climates.
SEALING
SEALING
SEALING
D'Hanis is delivered pre-sealed. After installation, apply a top coat sealer to protect the surface, improve durability, and maintain appearance over time.
We recommend Ultra Low VOC Sealer, especially in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas.
Top coat sealers provide:
- An additional protective layer for the tile surface
- Sealing and protection of grout joints
- Enhanced durability in high-traffic areas
RESEALING
There is no fixed resealing schedule. Frequency depends on traffic, environment, and desired appearance.
Some installations may need resealing after 1 year, while others may go 3 to 5 years or longer.
A simple test: If water no longer beads and begins to absorb into the tile or grout, resealing is recommended.

D’Hanis Red
Inspired by the iconic red clay tiles produced in D’Hanis, Texas, this collection offers a more refined interpretation of terracotta. With a flatter surface, more consistent color range, and durable edge detail, D’Hanis bridges traditional warmth with a cleaner, more tailored aesthetic.
D’Hanis Terracotta is crafted using a controlled forming process that refines traditional clay tile production. Natural clay is shaped with greater precision, then kiln-fired to achieve a denser, more uniform result.
This process creates a flatter surface, more consistent sizing, and improved edge durability while still preserving the warmth and authenticity of terracotta.
D’Hanis is typically finished with a sealed surface that enhances its rich red tone and supports long-term durability.
The sealer helps protect against staining, reduces moisture absorption, and contributes to the tile’s more consistent appearance. Depending on the application, an additional top coat may be used to maintain performance and refresh the finish over time.
D’Hanis carries the natural characteristics of terracotta in a more controlled and refined format.
You can expect:
- A consistent red terracotta color with subtle variation in shade and tone
- Lower contrast between tiles compared to traditional Saltillo
- A mostly flat, smooth surface with some texture
- Some size and thickness variations
- Minimally tumbled edges designed to reduce chipping
- Minor surface markings such as light indentations or handling marks
- Occasional small edge chips or natural irregularities
Each tile is made from natural clay and will not be perfectly uniform. Variation between tiles and batches is expected, though overall appearance remains more cohesive.
Terracotta is a living material that evolves over time.
D’Hanis develops a subtle, even patina as the surface responds to use and environment. Because of its denser body and sealed finish, most aging occurs at the surface level, resulting in a gradual softening of sheen and slight deepening of tone.
With proper care, the tile maintains its refined appearance while gaining warmth and character over time.
Each installation will evolve differently depending on use, environment, and maintenance.
