HANDMADE CHARACTERISTICS

Expect size and surface texture, capturing the essence of handmade terracotta while offering a slightly smoother surface due to the mold pressing process.

Each tile may feature small imperfections such as indentations, bumps, and scuffs, along with the possibility of clay residue or minor chips on the surface, edges, or back. These characteristics enhance the individuality and charm of every tile.

Variations in tile flatness and subtle differences in color, although these are typically minimal are to be expected.

TYPE

  • For a modern and sleek look, we recommend Mapei Ultracolor Plus FA grout.
  • For a traditional look, we recommend Mapei Saltillo Natural Gray Grout.

JOINTS 
Pressed Terracotta tile joint spacing can be as wide as 5/8” and go as small as 1/4.” Generally, smaller joint sizes are used with smaller tiles (6” and under) and tend to look more modern.

Larger joints are used with larger format tiles to accommodate for irregular sizing of handmade tiles while maintaining straight joints and their traditional aesthetic.

For stubborn stains, consider using a slightly more abrasive cleaner after testing it on a hidden area first. Ensure thorough removal of cleaning solution residue to maintain the tile's luster.

Address spills promptly to prevent staining. Use a soft cloth with warm water or a pH-neutral cleaner for effective spill removal.

While terracotta tile is durable, it's still susceptible to scratches. Avoid dragging heavy furniture across the tile and utilize furniture pads to prevent scratches.

Place mats or rugs in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas like entryways or kitchens to minimize wear and tear. Opt for felt or cloth pads under rugs to prevent potential damage from rubber padding.

7. Wet Areas Maintenance:
For wet areas such as shower surrounds or exterior applications, periodically apply a protective sealant. While not mandatory, sealant adds an extra layer of protection by sealing micropores, ensuring your tile remains in optimal condition.

By adhering to these maintenance practices, you can prolong the lifespan and beauty of your terracotta tile flooring.
