A CLASSIC IN RUSTIC STYLER DECOR

The most natural and handmade materials that we can choose for our house are the terracotta floors. Although they have traditionally been present in rustic and camper environments, today they can also be chosen in more contemporary spaces, with a perfect combination between modern and classic. The secret of your success? Its timeless beauty, fruit of a naturalness without limits.

The terracotta floors are a classic in rustic style decor. There is no town house that boasts that it does not have a good mud floor on the ground floor (for the top floor the star material has always been wood). The truth is that the earthy colors, natural and heterogeneous texture and simple finishes make this material a classic of rustic pavements. Actually there is a new design line that use this type of material to create a new flooring look mixed with modern ones.

One of the characteristics of this material is its heterogeneous appearance, which is the result of the craftsmanship that defines the entire manufacturing process. You are able to create art with the terracotta tiles.

Although the manufacturing process of the terracotta tiles comes from old, there are still companies, like us, Sebastian Perez SL with more than 100 years of experience that are dedicated to manufacture this type of products. There are several ways of doing this, but in general terms the process consists in putting the clay in molds previously manufactured with the shape of the tile and to cook it in special furnaces. We work with a special formula that make us different from other manufactures. Our secret is in the clay, in the way that we make the clay and of course the kind, that you only can find it in the Murcia region, South Spain. The clay we use is so different to the one you find in other countries like Mexico, Chile or Asia. 

Together with the hand of man, these are the three elements used to manufacture our products. The variety of our formats creates combinations of striking colour and beauty between different pieces of terracotta, terracotta and glazed pieces, terracotta and marble, terracotta and natural stone, etc.

This type of totally manual manufacture gives the clay tiles their characteristic rustic appearance and irregular texture. When some part of the process is mechanized, or in those more industrialized productive processes, the result is clay tiles of appearance and texture more homogeneous and that is not very good for that art you should create.

HANDMADE TERRACOTTA BRICKS ONE OF THE BEST NATURAL CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

Sebastian Perez, HandmadeTerracotta Bricks are one of the best Natural Construction Material  for the construction of Eco-Friendly  & Cost-Effective Buildings .

A clay brick is a traditional masonry construction element. It may be solid or perforated and may be used for building or paving.

Terracotta/earthenware was the only known type of ceramic produced by Western and pre-Columbian people until the 14th century, when imported European fired stoneware began production. Terracotta has been used throughout history for sculpture and pottery as well as for bricks and roof shingles. In ancient times, the first clay sculptures were dried (baked) in the sun after being formed. They were later placed in the ashes of open hearths to harden, and finally kilns were used, similar to those used for pottery today. However, only after firing to high temperature would it be classed as a ceramic material.

 

These bricks are used in load-bearing walls, partition walls, facing, ceilings and floors. Solid bricks offer good thermal properties, load bearing capacities and compressive strength.

Solid clay brick offers several advantages over other structural materials. It has very high compressive strength, requires no formwork, its constituent materials are widely available and its manufacture is less damaging to the environment than the production of concrete. A clay brick may be produced in different ways. It is molded and may be fired or naturally air dried.

Architectural terracotta refers either to decorated ceramic elements such as antefixes and revetments, usually brightly painted, which made a large contribution to the appearance of temples and other buildings in the classical architecture of Europe, as well as in the Ancient Near East, or to forms of ceramic skins used to surface buildings from the 19th century onwards. In the latter sense unglazed architectural terracotta became fashionable as an architectural ceramic construction material In Spain in the 1570s, in England in the 1860s, and in the United States in the 1870s. 

Terracotta had the advantage of being cheap and light. It was adaptable to mass-production techniques for stock shapes, although the plaster moulds had a limited capability for re-use. Additionally it could be freely worked by craftsmen to make custom-sculptured adornments and plaques. It was accepted as a material by the Arts and Crafts movement because despite seeming a mass-produced material it was handmade and designed by craftsmen. It had a manufacture time of about eight weeks and each piece had to be made over-size to allow for shrinkage as the clay body dried. To avoid cracking the pieces had to be quite thin.

 Today many people that are building their houses choose to use eco-friendly building materials. An eco-friendly building material increases the efficiency of energy used and reduces impact on human well-being and the environment. Of all the material used during construction, one often ignores the value of using the right brick. If you are looking for a brick that is eco-friendly and cost-effective than I would suggest you could go for hollow brick.

QUALITY TERRACOTTA WILL LAST FOREVER

Since the constructive use of the cooked clay was introduced in Spain by the Greeks in the S. VII A.C., there have been innumerable changes in the way of producing ceramics in Spain. New typologies of product, amplitude of formats, great technological advances, etc . However, some companies like Sebastián Perez S.L. with more than 100 years of experience, have managed to keep intact the essence of handmade clay tiles and the rustic stoneware of the past.

Terracotta ("baked earth") is basically a hard, fired unglazed clay. Its distinctive feature is its reddish-brown color.
  

Terracotta is one of the oldest tile materials around, dating back to the birth of Christ, when it was sun-dried rather than oven-fired. "Quality terracotta will last forever," says Dave Gobis, executive director of the Ceramic Tile Education Foundation.

The clay tiles are an essential contribution to a pleasant and healthy atmosphere in the rooms. The porous material of the baked clay provides a climatic balance in the rooms and makes it an ideal surface for radial underfloor heating systems.Made of natural materials that are very durable; A variety of finish styles available (none to high gloss); Warm and earthy feel; Suitable for indoor and outdoor uses; Resistant to mold and bacterial growth. 

While wood and stone flooring are often popular options in modern homes, there is another timeless classic that brings forth images of relaxing Mediterranean retreats and gorgeous Spanish Revival interiors - the terracotta tile.

Terracotta tiles have been around for a long, long time, and the fact that they are made completely naturally is a plus. Apart from adding coziness and warm elegance to the interior, terracotta tiles bring a sense of uniqueness and also give a modern interior a more grounded, elegant appeal. While a favorite among homeowners looking to usher in rustic, Mediterranean and other old-world styles, terracotta tile works surprisingly well in contemporary settings as well.
