NEW TERRACOTTA - PORTUGUESE HANDMADE - GLAZED TILE SPEC GUIDE Technical & Commercial Support

Made from natural clays, New Terracotta hand moulded and glazed tiles, in accordance with EN 14411, manufactured using a double-firing process, are known for its variation in size, shape, colour and texture. Our tiles are characterised by countless hues, unique nuances and particular shading details. No two pieces are exactly alike in both design and dimension and, quite often, not perfectly flat. The irregular edges, the corrugated surface and the small imperfections are the character which makes each piece unique. 90 Formats | 142 Colours | 10 Glaze Finishes INDEX WE ARE NEW TERRACOTTA 3...
