Crafted with a traditional hand-operated moulding process, our terracotta wall tiles showcase artisanal quality. These natural clay tiles are meticulously shaped and prepared for hand-glazing — a careful process that ensures each tile has a unique finish. Terracotta tiles are designed to have an organic appearance, meaning there are subtle variations in the shade, thickness, and texture of each tile.

Maintenance Tips

To preserve the beauty of your terracotta tiles, regular cleaning with a pH-neutral cleaner is recommended. Periodic deep cleaning is also important to remove embedded dirt and grime. For gentle yet effective cleaning, use warm water, a pH-neutral cleaner, a soft-headed mop, and a soft-bristled brush.

Before applying the cleaner broadly, perform a patch test on a small area to ensure safety. For best results, pre-soak the tiles, apply the cleaning solution, and let it sit for a few minutes to loosen dirt before scrubbing.

It’s essential to rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any remaining cleaner residue. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the correct cleaner-to-water ratio to prevent potential damage.
