About Terracotta Tiles

Terracotta, which means "baked earth" in Italian, is made from natural clay. This clay is moulded into the desired shape and then fired in a kiln to harden it. The result is a sturdy tile that exudes a rich, natural colour. The unique characteristics of terracotta tiles include its porous nature, which means it should be sealed to prevent staining and moisture absorption, especially in kitchen settings.
