Other styles might have replaced terracotta floor tiles for a while, but they had undoubtedly made their comeback. It is a well-known fact that a floor makes a huge difference to the home interior, and terracotta tiles aren’t an exception. They bring warmth to make your home feel even more welcoming than ever before.
A terracotta floor traditionally has an earthy reddish colour, but we also supply tiles, ranging from creams, pinks to ochres, adding a warm and pleasant tone to your house. They are a strong and sturdy flooring option that only gets better with age. Whether you choose reclaimed or handmade, we can supply you with unique, one-of-a-kind terracotta floor tiles.
Terracotta tiles are the oldest clay ceramic tiles in their subcategories. They are shaped from reddish or earth-hued clay. The tiles are then left to dry; our handmade tiles are then fired at temperatures of around 1050 degrees Celsius, whilst reclaimed tiles are fired at 1300+ Celsius. As a result of these high temperatures, the tiles have a very natural earth-like colour and become strong and durable.
When searching for a terracotta tile, you will notice there are high and low-density material types. It is essential to learn the difference between them, as knowing where you place each of them can be a turning point.
It might not surprise you that high-density terracotta floor tiles are much more in favour compared to low-density ones. They are suitable for rooms with heavy foot traffic and are less prone to cracking. These tiles are:
In contrast, low-density terracotta tiles are relatively weak and can crack under heavy foot traffic or when placed in the bathroom. Although cheaper, they are not ideal for rooms that get wet easily (bathrooms or kitchens) or those that are visited frequently. At Lubelska, we make sure to provide you with high-quality and durable terracotta flooring that can last a long time, provided they are well-maintained.
Another difference that you will notice when purchasing terracotta floor tiles is that they can be machine-cut or handmade. No matter the method, they will share their reddish/brown colour and their quality quality. However, there are still a few differences between machine-cut and handmade terracotta floor tiles::
At Lubelska, our terracotta tiles come in different shades, from reds and pinks to creams and everything in between. The particular colour depends on the clay source and the temperature it is fired at. However, in all cases, our tiles are beautiful, eye-catching, and ready to enrich your space. It’s worth noting that our terracotta floor tiles can also be used as wall tiles.
Our Reclaimed Terracotta Tiles feature 9 different products, both in warm and light colours and varying sizes. These tiles are rustic in nature while also being unique and one-of-a-kind. All our handmade terracotta tiles differ significantly. They are predominantly pink with hues of ochre and cream, but their colour really depends on how close to the klin each tile was during production. They are much smoother and more uniform.
