Sun-Drenched Radiance: The Acapulco Yellow City 10x10cm Tile

Inject the warmth of a Mexican summer into your interior with the Acapulco Yellow City Ceramic Tile—a 10x10cm hand-painted masterpiece featuring a deep, soul-stirring yellow glaze that captures the vibrant spirit of colonial architecture.

A cornerstone of the **Fired Earth Acapulco collection**, Yellow City is a celebration of pure, artisanal colour. Each tile is hand-painted onto a traditional terracotta base, allowing the natural warmth of the clay to peek through the radiant yellow pigment, creating a stunning depth of tone. The high-gloss glaze provides a luminous, reflective finish that makes even the smallest spaces feel bright and energized. Whether used as a bold monochromatic splashback or as the "pop" of colour within a patchwork of patterned tiles like Amaya or Luna, Yellow City offers a bespoke, handcrafted luxury that transforms walls into a vibrant work of art.


✓ Why Choose Acapulco Yellow City?

  • Artisanal Pigment Application - Each tile is hand-painted, resulting in beautiful tonal variations and a "living" surface.
  • Radiant Sun-Yellow Tone - A bold, cheerful hue that adds immediate warmth and character to any room.
  • Traditional Terracotta Core - The genuine clay base provides a historic feel and superior depth of colour.
  • High-Gloss Glaze - A protective and reflective finish that is both striking and exceptionally easy to clean.

⚠️ Professional Installation Tips

To ensure a flawless result with Acapulco Yellow City:

  • Tonal Blending: Because these are hand-painted, you will see a beautiful spectrum of yellow across the tiles. Always blend tiles from several boxes before fixing.
  • Crazing Heritage: Traditional gloss glazes on terracotta may develop fine "crazing" lines. This is not a defect, but an inherent characteristic that adds to the artisanal beauty.
  • Grout Advice: We recommend a 3mm joint. Use a high-quality flexible grout in a neutral or off-white tone to let the yellow pop.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is the yellow colour uniform across all tiles?

No. Because each tile is hand-painted, there will be subtle variations in the intensity and depth of the yellow. This tonal movement is a desired feature of the Acapulco range, giving the wall a more organic, handcrafted feel compared to machine-printed tiles.

Can these be used as a plain tile with the patterned Acapulco designs?

Yes! Yellow City is designed to be the perfect companion to the patterned tiles in the collection. It is often used to frame a central motif or to provide "breathing space" within a multi-patterned patchwork.

How do I maintain the bright yellow gloss finish?

The glaze is very hard-wearing. For daily maintenance, simply use warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that could eventually dull the high-gloss shine.

Can I use these in a shower?

Yes. These are glazed ceramic tiles suitable for shower walls. We recommend using a waterproof adhesive and grout system, and ensuring the background substrate is properly tanked.
