Handmade terracotta

Hand-shaped clay tiles with irregular edges, uneven surfaces and rich, variegated earthy colour.

Handmade terracotta tiles are shaped by hand and fired at low temperatures, so each tile varies in size, thickness and colour. They give rustic kitchens, living areas and verandahs a warm, authentic character.

Handmade terracotta is softer and more porous than machine-made tiles, so it absorbs water, oil, food and grout very readily. Sealing before and after grouting helps reduce staining and grout haze, and a coating sealer can add a protective sheen. Clean with a pH-neutral cleaner, avoid harsh acids, and re-seal high-traffic areas as needed.
