Uses:
|
|
All tile are handmade from stoneware clay that is high fired, rendering it frost proof and suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Common uses include fireplace surrounds and hearths, kitchen backsplashes, bathrooms, walls and counters. The non-reactive chemical resistance of the glazes also make them well suited for swimming pools.

All tile are suitable for interior or exterior applications. Due to the inherent characteristics of handmade ceramic tile, variations as to sizing, color and shade are normal and desirable. All tile should be inspected and projects laid out to check fit prior to installation.
Sanded grout is highly recommended for wider grout joints.
