What Are Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles?
Part of Westminster Stone’s award-winning Stonecast® range, these terracotta tiles are produced using detailed moulds taken from genuine reclaimed terracotta flooring. This approach ensures every surface detail - even the delicate undulations and gently aged edges - is faithfully preserved.
The result is a tile that looks almost indistinguishable from traditional quarry terracotta or original French terracotta flooring, yet is engineered to withstand the demands of outdoor patios, busy interiors, and year-round British weather.
With this combination of authenticity and performance, Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles allow designers to use the warmth and heritage of natural terracotta in spaces where traditional clay would typically struggle.
Why Choose Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles?
Natural terracotta is beloved for its rustic Mediterranean character, but it is also porous, fragile, and vulnerable to frost damage in wet climates. Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles offer a refined solution that maintains the aesthetic while improving performance.
