Terracota

Terracota revisits the traditional clay strip. The narrow 3 × 8 in piece keeps a soft, unpolished face with the faint mottling of hand-fired terracotta, in four earthy colours that read warm in daylight and quiet under lamplight.

A narrow strip suits a stacked run, a half-offset bond or a vertical stack. Mix pieces from several boxes as you lay so tonal differences spread across the surface.

Ordering
Special order

Thickness, body type, box coverage, shade-variation class and slip resistance are confirmed with your order for this format; Arta does not publish figures it has not verified.

Laying out Terracota

Open several boxes at once and mix pieces as you lay, so tonal differences spread evenly instead of collecting in one area. A narrow strip shows every deviation in a long joint line, so set out a dry run along the longest wall before fixing.

Care

Sweep or vacuum, then wash with a neutral pH cleaner. Avoid waxes and film-forming products, which dull a matt face.
