You can use Terracotta Pavers to design exterior spaces such as a brick patio, walkway, driveway, or streetscapes. You can also take pavers inside! The rustic and earthy look will bring character to mudrooms, kitchens, and even bathrooms.

Our pavers are suitable for residential applications as well as industrial and commercial projects. Just keep in mind that clay terracotta pavers are not rated as frost resistant and require additional maintenance and sealing.

Yes you can. If you are installing pavers indoors, you need to grout your pavers and treat them like a conventional installation. Note that your terracotta pavers should be sealed before grouting to keep the grout from staining the surface. Make sure to test your and sealant before starting your full installation. We recommend to seal your indoor paver installation heavily before and after installation to prevent any moisture absorption and repel stains. 

We make our Clay Imports handmade pavers in Saltillo, Mexico from 100% natural clay. Natural clay pavers do not have a glazed surface, thus are porous and prone to moisture absorption and staining. To lessen the effect of moisture absorption and development of patina, clay pavers can be sealed. We recommend our Penetrating Sealant. Watch the tutorial video below or read on for step-by-step guidelines. Please note, certain sealers can darken your pavers significantly while others will only minimally change the color. Always test your sealant prior to full install!

Pavers should be sealed prior to installation or at the latest prior to grouting and after. Sealing pavers prior to installation might take more time, but will significantly reduce the chance of the surface staining with installation materials such as thinest or grout.

Outdoors, pavers are often installed with no grout our adhesive and instead are laid with gravel, soil and sand. If this is the case, sealing is not necessary. Non-grouting and non-sealing creates an “permeable surface.” This means the water can pass through the sand, gravel or soil joints and then soak into the ground, creating a increased patina over time and less run off water!

For outdoor applications without grout, regular sweeping, weed trimming and visual inspections of your pavers is ideal to troubleshoot any migration or pavers that might need replacement over time.

For indoor applications or more conventional installation, Regular maintenance is crucial for preserving the beauty and durability of your paver install. Here's a comprehensive guide to keep your pavers looking pristine:

1. Regular Cleaning:
To maintain cleanliness, regularly sweep, dust, or vacuum your clay tile. Opt for a soft-bristled broom or a vacuum cleaner. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with warm water and our Palo Santo Cleaner Concentrate to remove dirt and grime.

2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
Steer clear of bleach or ammonia, as they can harm or discolor the tile. Instead, utilize pH-neutral cleaners like soap or household non-acidic cleaners. These effectively remove stains without damaging the tile. When cleaning, use a soft cloth or mop to prevent scratching.

3. Tackle Tough Stains Carefully:
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.

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

5. Prevent Scratches:
While clay tile is durable, it's still susceptible to scratches. Avoid dragging heavy furniture across the tile and utilize furniture pads to prevent scratches.

6. Utilize Rugs:
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.
