Questions
What distinguishes handmade terracotta from industrial tiles?
Handmade terracotta uses traditional wood-fired baking methods over 20-40 days, creating unique textures and natural variations unmatched by machine-produced alternatives.
Are your terracotta tiles suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, when installed with proper drainage, the tiles withstand frost conditions despite lacking European anti-freeze certification.
Do terracotta floors require special maintenance?
Regular sealing protects against staining, though presealed options reduce long-term maintenance requirements for easier upkeep.
Can underfloor heating systems work with terracotta tiles?
Yes, terracotta's thermal conductivity makes it compatible with underfloor heating systems when installed using appropriate methods.
