Softer stones and ceramics are more likely to take a beating from the elements than durable materials like porcelain. Another thing to consider is the size of your tile and, by extension, how many grout joints you have. Grout joints add a rough texture and also allow for water to drain from the tops of floor tiles.

Coupled with decorative ceramic tiles, Saltillo tile exudes Old World charm. Now, depending on where the raw tile is positioned within the beehive-like kiln, the tile can take on hues ranging from yellow to a rich orange to dark terracotta. As an alternative to Saltillo tiles, our Rustic Cement Tile Pavers offer a year-round solution.

The product above is Gemma 2 from our Cement Tile collection. Anatomy of the Fireplace. We love them all.

Living Coral has been labelled a “sociable and spirited” colour, yet also “1980s napkin pink” which may be why it’s not looking to become a ceramic mainstay just yet. The shade ‘terracotta’ also gives a similar brightness comparable to Living Coral. Encaustic cement tile (200x200mm) from Alhambra.
