Glossary of tiling terms

Terracotta — a type of baked clay widely used in the production of pottery, tiles, and bricks. It is formed by shaping and drying clay, which is then fired at high temperatures to achieve durability and strength.

Terracotta tiles and bricks are valued for their warm, earthy tones and are commonly used in architectural applications and tiling projects, adding a timeless and natural aesthetic to spaces. The porous nature of terracotta allows it to absorb and release moisture, contributing to its unique character and charm.
