INSTALLATION DETAILS
INSTALLATION DETAILS
GROUT TYPE
We recommend a high-performance grout such as Mapei Ultracolor Plus FA.
GROUT COLOR
Grout color is ultimately personal preference!
Contrasting Grout:
Monochrome Grout:
JOINTS
Recommended joint size: 1/8” to 1/4”
Handmade tiles naturally vary in size and shape. Slight variation in alignment and surface (lippage) is expected and part of the aesthetic. A slightly wider grout joint helps accommodate this variation and results in a more balanced, cohesive installation.
Tighter joints may restrict movement and can emphasize irregularities.
Trim Options
We offer a range of trim pieces for a finished edge, including:
- Bullnose
- Pencil liners
- Quarter round
- Cove base
We offer a variety of trim options, including bullnose, pencil liner, glazed edges, chair rails, and more.
You can also opt for a trim-free look using:
- Schluter profiles (including paintable options for a minimal finish)
- Mitered edges for clean corners
- Grout, paint, or caulk to finish exposed edges
SEALING + MAINTENANCE
SEALING + MAINTENANCE
SEALING
Glazed clay tile does not require sealing.
In certain applications like flooring, exterior walls, or wet areas, sealing is optional and can provide an extra layer of protection by reducing absorption at the grout lines and tile edges..
MAINTENANCE
Regular Cleaning
Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris. For routine cleaning, use warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Do not use bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners, as they can damage the surface or grout.
Stain Management
For tougher stains, use a gentle cleaner and test in an inconspicuous area first.
Spill Care
Clean spills promptly to prevent potential staining.
Protect the Surface
Use furniture pads and avoid dragging heavy objects across the tile.
High-Traffic Areas
Use rugs or mats in entryways and frequently used spaces to minimize wear.
Wet Areas
In showers or exterior applications, occasional sealing of grout lines can help maintain long-term performance.
Clay
Formed by hand and kiln-fired, each tile may exhibit natural variation in color, texture, and shape. These characteristics are part of the material and its production process.
Each tile is formed from natural clay and kiln-fired to create a durable, long-lasting surface. The glazing process adds both color and protection, resulting in a finish that is easy to clean while still reflecting the character of handcrafted production.
No two tiles are exactly the same, giving installations a natural, layered look that feels more architectural than manufactured.
Handcrafted tile may exhibit differences in color, tone, dimensions, surface texture, flatness, and edge straightness. Minor irregularities are expected characteristics of the material and may vary from tile to tile.
Variations in size, flatness, and edge straightness can be more noticeable with tighter grout joints. For best results, a grout joint of at least 1/8" is generally recommended, depending on the tile collection and installation requirements.
Ceramic glazes can vary in color, shade, tone, sheen, and surface appearance due to differences in raw materials, glaze application, and kiln firing. Expected characteristics may include speckling, black spotting, minor pinholes, mottling, and color pooling.
Variations can occur within the same order and between production batches. Even when the same glaze is used, differences may be noticeable, and samples or previous orders may not represent the exact appearance of future production.
Glazed clay tile is highly durable and designed to perform well in both residential and light commercial environments.
The glazed surface resists staining and moisture, making it suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-use areas. With proper installation and care, the tile maintains its appearance over time without the need for sealing.
