Mexican Glazed Handmade Tiles
Our Mexican glazed terracotta tiles are handmade in a family-run workshop in Guanajuato. Skilled makers fold, cut and fire clay creating tiles that are then glazed and stencilled tiles . The tiles have a rich, durable glazed surface that is hand made from beginning to end.
Each tile reflects over 500 years of craft tradition, combining Spanish ceramic techniques with Mexican artisan traditions.
- Perfect for wall and floor use, including bathrooms, kitchens, fireplaces, and feature walls.
- Available in a wide palette of vibrant colours, these handmade tiles UK customers love bring warmth and depth to any space.
Handmade Encaustic Tiles
Our handmade encaustic tiles are crafted from natural cement and pigments in Mexico, producing subtle variations in tone and texture that add depth and character to walls and floors.
- Size: 20 × 20 cm (25 tiles per sq. m.)
- Price: From £3.60 per tile / £90 per sq. m. (inc. VAT)
- Applications: Kitchen floors, bathroom walls, wet rooms, and feature areas
- Crafted using a hydraulic press with 25 tonnes of pressure, they are durable, long-lasting, and develop a beautiful patina over time.
- The traditional encaustic method was introduced during the colonial period and remains a hallmark of quality handmade tiles UK homeowners appreciate.
Handmade Saltillo Floor Tiles
Saltillo tiles are unsealed terracotta floor tiles handmade in Saltillo, northern Mexico.
- Made from locally sourced clay rich in minerals, they produce natural colours from honey, sand to pinks, deep reds and terracotta.
- Slight variations in shape, size, and surface create a pillowed, undulating effect, adding warmth and movement to floors.
- Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces, and compatible with underfloor heating.
- Often paired with 50 × 50 mm handmade inset tiles to create patterned floors or fireplace surrounds.
- Easy to clean, they are also allergy-friendly, as dust does not settle in their porous surfaces.
- The tiles are available in four formats.
