SUGGESTIONS FOR LAYING TILES

* Wet the tile before laying it in position.
* Leave a minimum distance of 1 cm between each tile.
* Do not look for a tight fit; the rough edges of the tile make it impossible.
* Do not stain the tile (cement, etc.) while laying it. If you do stain it, clean it as soon as possible.
* Be very careful when using dyes for the joints.
* Do not choose the tiles based on their colour owing to the tone variety typical of terracotta.

Laying terracotta floor tiles is no more difficult than fitting any other tiled flooring, so this will depend on your skill and experience. If you are laying unsealed tiles, then it is essential to allow the moisture to be released prior to sealing and / or glazing, and this could take several days. Moisture levels will depend on the depth and material of the subfloor, and the depth and moisture content of the tiles and adhesive, so take advice from your installer or supplier.

The colour and tones will vary from batch to batch so ‘shuffle’ the tiles for a mixed balance and expect minor chips and blemishes in some ranges; this is part of their natural appeal. Our terracotta tiles are handmade, 100% bioconstrucción.

TERRACOTA TILES MADE FROM & BENEFITS

What is terracotta tiles made from?

 

Terracotta tiles are made from a mixture of clays at fired at a lower temperature, resulting in a softer tile with a rustic appearance. They are usually frost-resistant, making them ideal for outdoor use.

You will find that terracotta tiles come in a range of colours, from warm red and gold through to heather tones, brown, grey and black. As well as their traditional square appearance, they come in a brick form and other shapes, such as hexagonal, sometimes with decorative colours and inserts to create patterns. 

The benefits of terracotta.

• They are often as durable as real stone floor tiles and are just as long lasting
• Are inexpensive
• They work well in areas of heavy traffic
• They ideal for use with underfloor heating

On the downside, if they are bought unsealed they must be treated, or they will stain easily.
