The beauty if Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles
Traditional terracotta, celebrated for its vibrant colour and organic texture, has been a popular choice in Mediterranean and rustic designs for centuries. However, natural terracotta can be prone to weathering and damage over time, especially in outdoor environments. Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles overcome these challenges by replicating the beauty of genuine terracotta while enhancing its resilience. Each tile is designed to withstand the elements, providing long-lasting beauty and functionality to any outdoor space.
Do I need to seal outdoor Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles?
While Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles are designed to be highly durable and weather-resistant, sealing them can provide additional protection against stains, moisture, and wear. Sealing is particularly recommended for areas exposed to heavy foot traffic or harsh weather conditions. This process helps to maintain the vibrant colour and prolong the life of your tiles, ensuring they remain as stunning as the day they were installed. Please speak to a member of our team about our recommended sealant.
What are the benefits of Stonecast® paving?
Stonecast® paving offers numerous benefits, including enhanced durability, slip resistance, and environmental sustainability. Each Stonecast® product is crafted using locally sourced materials, reducing the need for new quarrying and minimising transportation emissions. The production process ensures consistent quality, with each tile undergoing a unique curing period to achieve superior strength and weather resistance. Additionally, Stonecast® tiles are easy to install, making them a practical choice for both DIY enthusiasts and professional landscapers.
Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles vs. Natural Clay Terracotta Tiles
When comparing Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles to natural terracotta, the advantages of Stonecast® become clear. While natural clay terracotta offers a beautiful, traditional look, it can be susceptible to cracking, fading, and water absorption. Stonecast® tiles, on the other hand, retain the aesthetic qualities of terracotta but are engineered to be more durable and weather-resistant. This makes them a superior choice for outdoor paving, offering the same warm, inviting appearance with greater longevity and lower maintenance requirements.
Are Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles easy to install?
Yes! Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles are manufactured with consistent size and thickness, ensuring an easy and efficient installation process. Their uniformity allows for seamless integration into any design, whether you're creating a rustic patio or a traditional garden path. These terracotta patio tiles are designed to be user-friendly, making them suitable for both professional and DIY installations.
Are Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles expensive?
Our Terracotta Tiles provide value for money as they are built to last, and engineered to avoid degradation commonly experienced with natural clay including cracking, fading and taking in water. You may find a cheaper initial cost for natural terracotta or low-cost alternatives, however, you will in the long term save money with Stonecast®, since the tiles require little/no maintenance and you’re less likely to need to replace damaged tiles.
Are Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles Waterpoorf?
Yes, our Terracotta tiles are water-resistant and designed to keep water out, since absorbing moisture can in turn lead to cracking and fading over time. We do however recommend sealing to protect against tiles exposed to harsh weather conditions.
Are Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles Durable?
Yes, our Stonecast® terracotta tiles are designed with durability in mind. Even for areas exposed to high foot traffic or extreme weather, our tiles are engineered to avoid signs of degradation and wear.
How to maintain Stonecast® Terracotta Tiles?
Our Terracotta tiles have been designed to require little or no maintenance depending on factors such as foot traffic and usage. The best cleaner for terracotta tiles would be LTP Grimex and a yard broom, avoiding anything acid-based and steering clear of pressure washers unless used at a minimum distance of 600mm with a wide fan setting.
