JOINTS - Glazed 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.
TRIM
Adding trim to your tile installation is like putting the cherry on top of a sundae - it's the finishing touch that makes everything come together!
Schluter:
Sleek metal trim pieces offers a variety of metal finishes and paintable options to suit your design needs.
Miter Cut:
Create seamless 45-degree angles for corners, niches, and edges effortlessly with miter cuts.
Grout, Paint, or Caulk:
Achieve a simple polished look by applying grout, paint, or caulk along the trim edges. Make sure all exposed tile edges are properly covered.
Inset:
For a sleek and seamless look, set tiles flush with drywall or sheetrock. Remember, careful planning is key to maximizing the effectiveness of this option.
Bullnose:
Versatile transition piece that can be used on floors or walls. Featuring a rounded bullnose edge that creates a smooth transition between surfaces for traditional designs.
Glazed Edges:
Similar to bullnose but instead of a rounded edge, the glaze is applied to the edges of your field tile to create a more modern look.
EASY MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is crucial for preserving the beauty and durability of your tile flooring. Here's a comprehensive guide to keep your clay tile 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 Unscented 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.
7. Wet Areas Maintenance:
For wet areas such as shower surrounds or exterior applications, periodically apply a clay care protective sealant that best fits your installation need. 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 clay tile flooring.
HOW IT'S MADE
In Saltillo, Mexico clay is sourced from the surrounding area to produce Glazed Thin Brick tiles. The manufacturing process is carried out entirely by generations of skilled craftsmen from the region.
VARIATION
V3 MODERATE VARIATION: Significant differences in texture and color within the same batch of tile. It’s noticeable and contributes to the handmade tile look.
It is normal and expected to find natural scuffs, and variations on the surface. Minor chips may be present on the surface, edges, or back of the tile. These variations are common characteristics of authentic, handmade terracotta tile.
