Material: Natural Clay handcrafted
Saltillo tiles are crafted from 100% natural clay sourced from the rich, mineral-laden soils of Central Mexico. This unique clay is the key to the tiles’ distinctive look and durability, providing the warm, earthy hues that range from rich terracotta to golden yellows and soft peach tones. The clay is hand-harvested and molded with care, ensuring each tile retains its natural texture and raw beauty.
Once formed, the tiles are sun-dried and kiln-fired, a process that enhances the clay’s natural strength while maintaining its rustic character. This age-old method, combined with the quality of the clay, results in tiles that are not only beautiful but also resilient when properly sealed. The organic materials used in Saltillo tiles make them eco-friendly and timeless, connecting your space with nature’s finest resources.

FAQ
Expert Installation: Bringing Saltillo Tiles to Life
Installing Saltillo tiles is a craft in itself, requiring careful attention to detail to enhance their natural beauty and ensure long-lasting durability. Each tile is unique in shape and texture, which adds character but also requires skilled installation for a seamless finish. Professional installers carefully lay out the tiles, often using a wider grout line to accommodate the handmade variations.
Before installation, Saltillo tiles must be pre-sealed to prevent moisture absorption during the grouting process, ensuring that their vibrant, earthy tones remain intact. After they are set and the grout is applied, a high-quality sealant is added to protect the tiles from wear, moisture, and stains, while enhancing their natural colors. This sealing process is essential to preserving the longevity and beauty of your Saltillo floors.
Whether you’re installing them indoors or in an outdoor patio, the proper techniques and materials ensure that your Saltillo tiles not only look stunning but also stand the test of time. With expert installation, you can enjoy the timeless appeal of Saltillo tiles in your home for years to come.
