GROUT JOINT
You can space out Saltillo tile as wide as 3/4” and go as small as 1/4.” Generally, smaller joints are used with smaller tiles (6” and under) and tend to create a more modern look. Larger joints are used with larger tiles and maintain the traditional look.
GLAZED EDGE TRIM
Tile with glazed edges. We recommend this trim for installations that will have exposed edges.
BULLNOSE TRIM
Tile with rounded edge(s). We recommend this trim for installations that requires a smooth transition between the tile and the wall. It also hides exposed tile edges.
TECHNICAL RESOURCES
Variation in color, sheen, and texture for Glazed Terracotta tile is normal—it’s part of what makes the installations look so uniquely rustic and authentic. Blend the tiles beforehand.
USAGE
Glazed Terracotta tile can be installed in almost everywhere. However, for climates with freezing weather, proper precautions must be taken to waterproof the flooring area (water barrier underlayment and topcoat sealer). We recommend the surface of the floor must be sealed properly and inspected prior to every winter.
