Please Consider:

The Spanish Mission Red tile is created by firing natural terra cotta clay at low temperatures. This results in a soft clay body tile. Mission red tile is intended to have an aged and rustic look; this is part of the beauty of this tile. Please refer to the sample pictures to have a closer look at the texture of the tile. You may order a sample tile if needed.

Moderate variations are expected for all terra cotta tiles. Size, color and design are all likely for vary from piece to piece due to the handmade process. While the color and texture of a single tile may be indicative of all the pieces, the shades and amount of texture will vary from piece to piece. It is recommended that the entire range is viewed and arranged before installation.

Description:

The properties of earth tone color, and texture of our Spanish Mission Red Tile are derived from its clay. The tiles are composed of clay deposits from California and totally handcrafted using old-world methods introduced to this region by the first Spanish explorers and missionaries. Using local natural resources the early Spanish settlers made the first Missions with adobe clay tiles, which were only sun-air dry. And covered floors, walls, and roofs with terra cotta tiles (baked earth).

Clay tiles were essential for the foundations of the first California Missions, and continue today to be an important element in the building of Spanish Revival Architecture homes in California, and in other states such as Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Florida to name a few.
