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.

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 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.
