Terracota tiles date back about a thousand years and can be produced either manually or mechanically. The quality, color, and baking process of the clay make this tile one of the most frequently used for flooring.
The clay tiles are laid over a levelled and dried base. The tiles are placed 5mm apart adjusted using a rubber mallet, which is covered in tape to avoid damaging the surface of the tiles. They are then cemented into place and mortar is used as a sealant.
The joining of the tiles is done with cement and marble stones, taking care to remove any excess residue to avoid leaving stains or blotches.

Terracota is quite a porous material which requires treatment to ensure its durability.
To achieve a darker tone, vegetable oils are added producing a colour similar to that of aged leather or warmer tones like that of antique paving stones, giving a rustic impression. We can also provide a neutral finish, respecting the nature of the material, in matte, bright, or gloss.
