IMMERSE YOURSELF IN INK
The Ink Series is inspired by Devon’s fascination and personal work with ink. Bold patterns and fine lines pull from calligraphy and traditional tattoo design. Each pattern is color-customizable to fit any aesthetic: moody contrast, warm neutral, or something bolder. Ink is as adaptable as you need it to be.
PRODUCT DETAILS
GROUT
TYPE
We recommend unsanded Mapei Ultracolor Plus grout for Talavera tiles.
COLOR
- Contrasting Grout
- Monochrome Grout
JOINTS
We advise using grout joints ranging from 1/8” to 1/4" to accommodate inherent size variation of handmade tiles. Acceptable deviations of up to ± 1/4" are considered acceptable and expected for joint alignment variation and leveling.
While it's possible to use a tighter grout joint, we strongly suggest seeking guidance from an experienced installation professional to increase the likelihood of a successful installation.
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.
SEALING
While our clay tiles typically do not need to be sealed, we advise applying a protective sealant for tiles installed in wet areas such as shower surrounds, wet area flooring, and exterior applications.
Though not mandatory, sealant offers an additional layer of protection by sealing in the micropores of glazed clay tiles, ensuring your tiles remain in excellent condition over time.
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.
