Terracotta tiles

Terracotta tile is a floor covering made of tiles of natural clay, moulded then fired at high temperature. This handcrafted product appeals with its rustic charm, its red shades, pink or beige, and its unique raw appearance. Depending on the clay used, the finish can be more or less glossy or matt. Terracotta tile is equally suited to floors for a natural and warm decor. Widely used in living areas, it fits perfectly into all styles, from rustic to modern, including the cotto effect typical of Mediterranean homes.

The terracotta tile is a natural, handcrafted product, whereas porcelain stoneware is an industrial material made from pressed ceramic powder. The former offers a raw look, warm and lively, with natural shades that vary depending on the clays. The latter is more
uniform, often glazed and easy to maintain. The terracotta tile brings an authentic soul and a rustic effect that cannot be found in porcelain stoneware. Each tile is unique, featuring handcrafted details and a story that modern ceramic floors
cannot reproduce.

The terracotta tile is ideal for indoor floors such as living rooms, kitchens, hallways or stairs. It can also be used as wall covering, particularly in rooms with a strong decorative character. Thanks to its raw texture and its natural shades, it is suitable for rustic spaces as well as modern interiors. With suitable installation, this tile withstands the test of time. There are many formats: square, rectangular, hexagonal or even mosaic, allowing varied compositions to be created. This handcrafted product is available in several colours, from red to sand, to harmonise with all styles.

Terracotta tiles are a natural covering that is both durable and attractive. Handcrafted, they combine strength, authenticity and warmth. Their tiles have a raw
effect and a rough look much appreciated in interior decoration. The shades vary depending on the clays: from deep red to light beige, including sand pink. In addition to its old-world charm, it offers excellent resistance over time and is easy to maintain after a water-repellent treatment. It is an ideal product for creating a floor or a wall with a unique and timeless style.

Terracotta tiles stand out for their palette of natural colors : red, pink, beige, sand, or even off-white depending on the clay used. Some models are raw and others glazed for a glossy effect or satin finish. The final result depends on the firing and the artisanal know-how. There are also brick-effect or cotto versions, perfect for a rustic decor. The Minéral collection offers various formats – from square tile to hexagonal or rectangular tile – to adapt each product to your style and your living rooms.

Maintaining terracotta tiling is simple if it is properly protected. After installation, a water-repellent and oil-repellent treatment is recommended to limit the penetration of water and stains. Day to day, gentle cleaning with neutral products is enough to keep its natural look. Avoid acidic detergents that could damage the terracotta. Over time, the raw tiling develops a unique patina that enhances its charm. This handcrafted product improves with the years, offering a floor that is both authentic and durable, perfect for all interior rooms.

The price of terracotta tiles depends on the format, the color, the finish and the type of manufacture. A handcrafted product made by hand will generally cost more than an industrial tile, but it will offer an incomparable style and quality. The hexagonal, square or rectangular models are available in several thicknesses and shades, making it possible to adapt the
budget to the project. At Minéral, we offer a complete collection of terracotta tiles, tomettes and cotto imitations, quickly deliverable anywhere in France, Belgium, Luxembourg or Germany. Our competitive prices guarantee the best balance between authenticity and durability.
