Geometric Rhythm: The Acapulco Ortiz 10x10cm Tile

Introduce structural beauty to your interior with the Acapulco Ortiz Ceramic Tile—a 10x10cm hand-painted masterpiece defined by its bold, interlocking geometric pattern and vivid artisanal colours.

The **Ortiz** tile is one of the most graphically striking designs in the **Fired Earth Acapulco collection**. Unlike the softer floral motifs of the range, Ortiz features a rhythmic cross-and-diamond design that creates a powerful, continuous geometric flow across any wall. Each tile is hand-painted onto a traditional terracotta base, ensuring that every brushstroke contributes to a unique, textured finish. Protected by a deep, light-reflecting gloss glaze, these tiles offer a perfect balance of ancient Mexican craft and modern architectural symmetry. Use Ortiz to create a high-impact feature wall or mix it with Lozano and Merida for a curated, eclat-style patchwork.


✓ Why Choose Acapulco Ortiz?

  • Authentically Hand-Painted - No two tiles are identical; each piece features the organic variation of true craftsmanship.
  • Bold Geometric Impact - A structured motif that adds a rhythmic, modern edge to traditional hand-painted ceramics.
  • Traditional Terracotta Base - Provides a warm, substantial core that enhances the depth of the pigments.
  • Reflective Gloss Finish - A durable glazed surface that amplifies light and is effortless to maintain.

⚠️ Professional Installation Tips

For a flawless result with Acapulco Ortiz:

  • Blended Layout: Due to the hand-painted nature, pigment density varies. Always mix tiles from multiple boxes to ensure an even distribution of colour.
  • Understanding Crazing: Fine hairline cracks in the glaze (crazing) are a normal and sought-after feature of this collection, emphasising its heritage feel.
  • Grout Advice: Use a 3mm joint with a flexible grout. Avoid dark grouts that could permanently sit in the glaze's natural crazing.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Ortiz pattern compare to the rest of the range?

The Ortiz is the most geometric and "structured" tile in the Acapulco range. While designs like Alva are floral and fluid, Ortiz creates a clean, interlocking pattern that is highly effective for creating modern feature walls with a traditional, hand-made feel.

Can these be used as a kitchen splashback?

Absolutely. They are heat-resistant and the high-gloss glaze makes them very easy to wipe clean from grease and steam.

Do I need a specific grout for these?

We recommend a flexible, non-pigmented grout (such as jasmine, light grey, or off-white). Avoid very dark or black grouts, as the pigments can sometimes migrate into the natural crazing of the glaze.

Are they suitable for shower walls?

Yes, they are suitable for all interior wall applications, including wet areas. Ensure your installer uses a waterproof adhesive and grout system.
