Saltillo Tile's Centuries-Old Allure

Tile Talk

Hand-crafted from natural clay deposits, authentic Saltillo tile can only come from one place in the world - Saltillo, in the state of Coahuila in Mexico. Saltillo tiles are shaped either by pressing quarried clay with a wooden frame, or by carving out the desired shape. Saltillo is popular in Mediterranean-like climates.
