Historical Character: Authentic Reclaimed Terracotta

Embrace timeless sustainability with the Reclaimed Terracotta Square Tile—a piece of architectural history salvaged from derelict factories and churches across Eastern Europe.

Each 150x150mm tile tells a story of tradition. Originally used as roof tiles, these pieces have been carefully cleaned and repurposed for interior use. They boast a **significant shade variation (V4)**, ranging from soft sandy beiges and warm ochres to deep, rich burnt oranges and reds. With their irregular edges and weathered surfaces, they provide an instantly aged, "lived-in" feel that complements both rustic farmhouses and character-rich contemporary designs.


✓ Why Choose Fired Earth Reclaimed Terracotta?

  • 100% Eco-Friendly - Truly sustainable flooring repurposed from historic clay.
  • Authentic Heritage - Salvaged from Eastern Europe and hand-finished for quality.
  • Underfloor Heating Compatible - Retains and distributes heat efficiently.
  • Timeless Longevity - Naturally robust material that improves in appearance with age.

Key Features & Benefits

⚠️ Important Installation & Care Guidance

To ensure a professional finish with your reclaimed tiles:

  • Dry Laying: Always unpack and dry lay tiles from multiple boxes before fixing to ensure an even distribution of tones.
  • Bowing: Bowed tiles are a natural feature of this range. Professional installation is recommended to manage irregular depths.
  • Sealing: Reclaimed terracotta is highly porous. It must be sealed **before and after grouting**. We recommend a breathable sealer to protect the surface while allowing it to age naturally.
  • Grout Choice: A wider grout joint (5-9mm) is recommended to accommodate the natural size variances. We suggest a natural tone like "Driftwood" or "Ivory."

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the tiles wet upon receipt?

The tiles are often sprayed with water during the cutting and cleaning process in the workshop. They should be allowed to dry fully before installation and sealing.

Can these be used outdoors?

Because these tiles were originally roof tiles, they have historical weather resistance. However, for UK climates, we generally recommend them for interior use or semi-covered areas only to avoid frost damage.
