Saltillo Tile
Description
Envision (by sq. ft.)* Saltillo tile has become the flooring of choice for many interior designers, offices, & home owners alike. Its warm colors and ease of maintenance make it a practical choice, as well. Traditional Saltillo is handmade in Saltillo in the Mexican state of Coahuila, which borders Texas. Saltillo tiles are known world-wide. They are handcrafted using methods originally brought from Spain centuries ago and are created using the unique terracotta clay found in the region. This clay is hand-formed, cut into tile, sun-dried, and then kiln-fired. The result is a variety of hues ranging from deep terracotta reds and oranges to golden and brown tones. These Mexican tiles display a natural shading and striping, which is caused by the way the tiles are stacked and positioned in an overlapping pattern in the kiln. Slight variations in size, color, striping, and other markings give the tile a natural, rustic look that is highly desirable in flooring.
