The new lease of life for the art of terracotta, on porcelain tiles

The terracotta effect is one of the oldest, most enchanting ceramic traditions, evoking the authentic warmth of Mediterranean homes. This age-old terracotta technique, with its warm tones and uneven natural textures, has now been given an extraordinary new twist on terracotta-effect porcelain tiles, which masterfully capture the shades of color, characteristic veining and surface imperfections of ancient terracotta.

Porcelain stoneware tiles amplify the appeal of the material, opening up new creative opportunities and delivering superior performance. From the nostalgic warmth of ancient terracotta to contemporary interpretations of modern terracotta flooring, this technological evolution gives a significant boost to the range of design opportunities, offering novel formats and innovative, inviting colors ready to give any setting a terracotta soul.

From Tuscany to Lombardy: a journey through the profound beauty of terracotta

This is a material that tells of ancient times and timeless atmospheres, with every shade of color and imperfection becoming part of its charm. From handmade terracotta, with its uneven surfaces embodying the warm feel of fine craftsmanship, to industrial terracotta, smoother, yet still with its own distinctive character, each type stirs different emotions. From the intense, golden hues of the Tuscan terracotta, conjuring up a picture of sun-drenched squares and country homes, to the delicate shades of the Umbrian terracotta, softer and more pinkish, perfect for intimate, cozy settings; and then we have Lombardy terracotta, with its light, uniform color, reflecting an understated, luminous beauty typical of the courtyards and farmhouses of northern Italy. Whether left plain, for an authentic, textured effect, or enhanced with a surface finish, for a brighter, more sophisticated touch, terracotta always conveys a sense of warmth, welcome, and tradition.

Porcelain floor tiles: advanced performance for every design requirement

Terracotta-effect porcelain tiles are the ideal solution for those who seek the genuine, warm vibe of terracotta without making compromises. Where traditional terracotta has its limitations, with high porosity and complex maintenance, porcelain stoneware is able to offer low-porosity surfaces that are resistant to stains and liquids. In the kitchen, it stands up to oils and acids without permanent stains, while in the bathroom, the anti-slip finish guarantees safety even with wet floors, eliminating mold and bacteria thanks to the hygienic, non-porous surface.

This superior performance is complemented by remarkably simple day-to-day management. Maintenance of porcelain tiles involves just a few simple steps with water and a mild detergent: no protective treatment, no periodic wax treatment required. In the long run, this remarkable longevity makes porcelain stoneware a sustainable choice for both the environment and the pocket. 

Choosing terracotta means bringing a fragment of history and nature into the home, with a material able to add an authentic allure to any living space, merging past with present in a timeless embrace.
