Product story

Timeless Baked Earth: Cotto Natural 20 x 20cm

The quintessential biscuit-and-orange terracotta look, captured in hard-wearing porcelain — Cotto Natural from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

Cotto Natural is the heart of the collection: the warm, sun-baked clay tones of a Tuscan farmhouse or Provençal courtyard, complete with the gentle shade variation that makes a terracotta floor feel authentic. Unlike fragile raw clay, it is produced in high-grade porcelain, so it never needs sealing or waxing and will not stain, flake or crack.

The versatile 20 x 20cm square is a classic for kitchens, hallways, conservatories and terraces. Because it is frostproof, you can run the very same tile from an indoor floor straight out onto a patio for a seamless, characterful flow.

Delivery

In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.

Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

When your order arrives

Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.

To request a return, contact Hyperion within 14 days of delivery. For eligible online consumer cancellations, you have a further 14 days after telling us to send the goods back. Contact us for the correct return address; your statutory cancellation does not depend on our authorisation.

Additional supplier returns have their own eligibility rules, charges and exclusions. These do not override statutory cancellation rights or rights for faulty goods. See our refund policy and supplier return guidance before arranging a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What grout colour should I use?

For a natural, harmonious look, we highly recommend Mapei Ultracolour Plus 132 Beige or 135 Golden Dust. These tones blend with the biscuit hue of the tile.

For a richer, warmer joint, use Mapei Ultracolour Plus 141 Caramel, which mimics the colour of traditional aged mortar.

For a contemporary twist, a light grey like Mapei Ultracolour Plus 111 Silver Grey creates a clean grid that looks modern and fresh.

Is this real terracotta?

No, this is a porcelain tile with a high-definition print that mimics natural terracotta. This gives you the beautiful rustic aesthetic without the porosity, staining, or maintenance issues (like waxing) associated with real clay.

Can I use this outside?

Yes. Cotto Natural is frost-proof and robust enough for external use, making it ideal for patios, pathways, and garden rooms.

Do I need to seal these tiles?

No. The porcelain surface is non-porous and requires no sealing at any point in its life.

Is it suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes, absolutely. Porcelain is an excellent thermal conductor and works perfectly with both wet and electric underfloor heating systems.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix with a flexible cement-based adhesive suitable for porcelain. A wider 3–5mm grout joint enhances the rustic, hand-laid character of a traditional clay floor.
  • Layout Options: Lay in a straight grid for a clean, modern look or a staggered brick bond for country charm, shuffling tiles from several boxes to blend the natural tonal variation.
  • Cleaning: Unlike real terracotta, this is glazed porcelain — non-porous, stain-resistant and requiring no sealing or waxing. Simply sweep and mop.
