Features and durability of rustic ceramic flooring

Handcrafted-style ceramic tiles are characterised by being fired at high temperatures, which gives them a compact density and high durability. This structural strength withstands continuous wear and tear, everyday impacts and constant foot traffic in any room of the home.

Their extremely low water absorption prevents damp or dirt stains from setting into the material, making maintenance straightforward. Furthermore, their glazed finish withstands contact with conventional cleaning chemicals, ensuring the surface’s beauty remains unchanged over time.

For use in patios, porches and gardens, these tiles feature a highly robust anti-frost treatment. Their resistance to sudden temperature changes prevents cracks from forming during winter frosts, ensuring a firm and safe floor at all times.

A variety of earthy shades, textures and sizes

Finishes inspired by fired earth, terracotta and weathered clay lend a cosy feel full of character. You’ll find designs ranging from classic reddish and coppery tones to muted shades of beige, warm beige, sand and evocative browns.

The rough textures and irregularities recreate the charm of aged flooring, adding essential anti-slip properties for wet areas or swimming pools. The wide variety of square, rectangular or herringbone formats makes it easy to create geometric patterns suited to any decorative project.

Applications in interiors, terraces and high-traffic areas

Laying this type of stoneware in living rooms, kitchens or dining rooms creates a refined country-style aesthetic that complements wooden furniture or metal frames. Its visual warmth lends a unique homely touch, creating cosy atmospheres ideal for family gatherings.

In outdoor spaces, such as balconies or open terraces, extruded stoneware performs impeccably when exposed to sunlight and rain. The colour continuity between the interior and the terrace allows both areas to be connected in a seamless and enveloping way.

Installation and maintenance recommendations

Before starting the installation, it is essential to check that the subfloor is perfectly level, firm and free of debris. Using an adhesive mortar suitable for low-porosity tiles ensures optimum adhesion and prevents future detachment caused by sudden temperature changes.

Sealing the installation joints is essential to accommodate slight expansion of the material and prevent water ingress. It is advisable to use waterproof grouts that complement the predominant shade of the tiles, achieving a perfectly balanced aesthetic finish.

To achieve a long-lasting installation that preserves the warmth of the handcrafted style, it is highly advisable to include perimeter finishing pieces. Incorporating suitable accessories facilitates ongoing cleaning, protects vertical surfaces from accidental scuffs and ensures a perfectly polished finish throughout the home.
