Terracotta – Porcelain Tile

This terracotta look tile captures the relaxed, earthy warmth of old baked-clay floors in modern porcelain. Softly clouded colour moves across each tile, giving kitchens, bathrooms, living areas and courtyards a welcoming Mediterranean feel.

Which terracotta look tile finish do I choose?

  • Matt SmoothGrip: a smooth, non-shiny surface for floors, walls and outdoor areas. Available in 600×600 in all four colours, 300×600 in Sand, Earth and Clay, and 300×300 in Sand, Ochre and Clay.
  • Matt Unrectified: smaller formats with a softly rounded cushioned edge, for indoor floors and walls. Available in 75×230 and 150×150 in all four colours.

Format and edge

Terracotta comes in five sizes: 75×230, 150×150, 300×300, 300×600 and 600×600.

The Matt SmoothGrip tiles are rectified, with a crisp square edge that lets the colour run across fine grout joints. The 75×230 and 150×150 tiles have a cushioned edge that gives laid tiles a traditional, handmade character.

Expect a V1 low variation, with a consistent colour from tile to tile.

Where it works

Terracotta covers floors and walls throughout the home. Take the Matt SmoothGrip tiles outside to patios, alfresco areas and courtyards, and keep the Matt Unrectified tiles indoors. The 75×230 makes a warm splashback or feature wall.

Colours

  • Sand: a pale, creamy beige.
  • Ochre: a soft, warm pinkish tan.
  • Earth: a golden caramel brown.
  • Clay: a rich, classic red-brown.

Care and Maintenance

Tiles ask very little, and the routine matters more than the product. Regular sweeping and washing stops grit building up, protects the surface finish and makes a deep clean far less of a job.

Based on the guidance in AS 3958.1–2007, Appendix C. General advice only — tile types, finishes and installation conditions vary. If you are not sure what suits your tiles, check with a qualified tiler.

Everyday cleaning
  • Sweep or vacuum before you mop. Loose grit is what scratches a floor, not foot traffic.
  • Mop with warm water and a pH-neutral, sulphate-free cleaner.
  • Rinse with clean water and do not let the cleaner dry on the tile — residue is what causes streaks and dulls a finish.
  • Wipe spills as they happen. Grout takes up a spill faster than the tile does.
Occasional deep clean
  • Use a high-alkaline detergent, above pH 9, for greasy build-up in kitchens and entries.
  • On textured or structured tiles, let the cleaner sit for a few minutes before scrubbing so it can work into the surface.
  • Steam or pressure cleaning can be used from time to time.
  • Always finish with a clean water rinse.
After a new floor is laid
  • Let the grout cure for as long as your tiler specifies before washing the floor properly.
  • A light film of grout haze is normal. It needs the right product to remove — ask your tiler rather than reaching for a household cleaner.
  • Keep mats and rugs off a new floor until the adhesive and grout have fully cured.
Keeping it that way
  • Mats at every external door, including wherever pets come in and out.
  • More cleaning product is not better. Over-applying leaves a residue that holds dirt.
  • Skip household soaps. They leave a film that reads as slippery and dull.
  • Felt pads under furniture legs, and lift rather than drag anything heavy.
  • If rinsing is awkward, use a no-rinse detergent instead of leaving residue behind.
Safe to use, and what to avoid

Safe to use

  • pH-neutral, sulphate-free cleaners for everyday use
  • Soft brushes and non-abrasive cleaning pads
  • High-alkaline detergent, occasionally, for grease
  • Proprietary abrasive cleaners on unglazed tile only

Avoid

  • Acidic cleaners — they attack grout and haze a glazed surface
  • Abrasive pads on glazed tile
  • Overusing high-alkaline detergent
  • Scrubbing machines fitted with coarse pads
  • Wax and oil-based polishes
