SPECS

To create an Square + Picket pattern, there are two components: an Square and a Picket.

  • Size: Square 8"x8" + Picket 12"
  • Actual Size: Square 8 3/8"x8 3/8" + Picket 4"x11 3/8"
  • 1 sq.ft.: 2 pcs of Picket + 0.8 pc of Square
  • Thickness: 5/8"
  • Finish: Matte Sealed
  • Texture: Smooth
  • Material: Saltillo Terracotta
  • Variation: V3

Matte sealed provides a low-sheen, natural finish that closely resembles traditional unsealed terracotta.

  • Minimal sheen for a more organic look
  • Maintains the raw, natural appearance of the clay
  • Provides protection against staining and moisture
  • May show more surface character compared to higher sheen finishes

Because of its low sheen, the surface may highlight oils, stains, spills and markings more visibly.

A top coat sealer can be applied over time based on use and desired appearance.

Saltillo tile carries the natural characteristics of terracotta formed from clay, sun, and kiln firing.

You can expect:

  • Fine surface pores, sometimes referred to as lime pops
  • Hairline cracks, sun-drying marks, and occasional natural impressions
  • Moderate to high variation in color within a warm terracotta palette
  • Strong tonal movement, including shading, patching, or striping
  • Irregular edges and variation in size and thickness
  • Natural warping and variation in flatness, including waves and surface undulation
  • Minor surface markings such as indentations or handling marks
  • Light bumps, divots, chips, and edge variation
  • Occasional paw prints

Each tile is made from natural clay and will not be perfectly uniform. Variation between tiles and batches is expected.

These characteristics are part of authentic Saltillo and contribute to its depth and character.
