Frequently Asked Questions
Are Saltillo floor tiles suitable for kitchens?
Yes, when sealing, stain resistance, cleaning, and slip resistance are confirmed for the material and surface.
Can terracotta color variation be controlled?
The acceptable range and mixing pattern can be confirmed. Use physical samples and a laying plan because natural or antique effects vary.
Do Saltillo tiles need sealing?
It depends on material, surface, location, and use. Natural clay commonly needs a suitable protective system.
Is there a charge for samples?
Most small samples are usually free; you only need to pay for shipping.
Is there a fixed minimum order quantity for tiles?
No fixed quantity is required. Smaller tile quantities can ship with other building materials or furniture in the same container.
