Mexican
Terracotta
Saltillo, a type of clay, is widely used to make their crudely handmade
tiles which vary widely
in size, shade and texture from one to another. Occasionally they
will even be marked with
animal tracks!
The colors range from terra-cotta to yellow to brown.
They can be ordered pre-sealed or a sealer can be applied to raw
tiles after installation.
Quarry
Tile
These unglazed tiles are made from natural clays and shale.
Their body is thick and dense, making them a popular choice for
both heavy commercial and
residential installations.
Their surface generally has good “slip resistance” qualities.
Porcelain
Tile
Made of special clays and minerals similar to those found in chinaware.
Porcelain tiles come in various finishes such as matte, textured
and polished.
They are highly stain-resistant and strong.
The combination of beauty and durability makes them ideal for heavy
commercial and
residential installation.
