CATALAN TERRACOTTA
Spanish Terracotta
Description
 
    Subtle colours of yellows, tans and rosewoods on a smooth surface. Ideal for kitchens, conservatories, hallways, lounges, pubs and restaurants. This tile goes well with wooden fixtures and fittings and has thermal properties. It is also slip-resistant. 
    No two tiles look the same. Some are bevelled, some have abrasion marks, others have chipped edges. These are not defects but part of the character of the tiles. They have a compact granular structure with no air pockets and salt pitting, making them durable for both domestic and commercial use. 
    For the best effect use a sandstone grout and a 10 mm space between tiles.  Advice can be given to the tiler/client in laying, sealing and maintenance if this is required. Instructions are included in each consignment.
