Terracotta tiles are an authentic floor covering that gives the felling of warmth and character that more modern floor materials can lack.
Terracotta has been used for thousands of years by people, particularly in the mediterranean and South America.
Terracotta is a durable yet low density tile but can act as a fantastic insulator when compared with natural stones such as marble and granite. For this reason it makes it a great material to be combined with underfloor heating.
Due to the fact that terracotta is a natural material, it has a fantastic variation in shade and pattern. Although terracotta tiles are a weaker material than natural stone flooring such as marble or granite, the tiles are made much thicker.
Other style tiles can be combined within the design of the floor to create more interest, as in the photograph shown to the right.
Summary of terracotta tiles:
- Creates a feeling of warmth
- Great insulator and retains heat
- Relatively low cost
