|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Size | Due to handmade nature, tiles may vary by up to 1/4 in. Sizes are nominal, meaning that sizes vary from the actual. | ||||||||||||
| Color, Size and Design Variation | Slight variations are expected for all Terra Nova ceramic tiles. For instance, size, color and design are all likely to vary due to the hand made process. PLEASE NOTE: shades of color are seen differently on computer monitors and therefore customers should request a sample before making a final selection or purchase. Lot variation in size and color may be present from shipment to shipment. There is no guarantee that tiles ordered as add-ons will match those from the original orders. | ||||||||||||
| Background | Pure White. | ||||||||||||
| Tiles per Square Foot |
** The following is an estimate number of tiles you will need per square foot. The amount of tiles needed per square foot varies according to tile size and shape. This is a courtesy estimate and we recommend to double check measurements and tile quantities with your tile expert installer as you may need additional pieces to account for cuts and breakage. | ||||||||||||
| Body | Red body bisque. May be slightly concave or not perfectly flat, but overall the Terra Nova ceramic tiles are consistently flat. | ||||||||||||
| Tile Thickness | All our standard Terra Nova ceramic tiles have a 3/8 in. thickness. Larger and smaller tiles may vary in thickness accordingly. | ||||||||||||
| Applications | Suitable for all interiors of residential and commercial wall applications. Light-use flooring as accents or as a border to define an area. Avoid high moist areas in all matte tiles. If used in moist areas, apply a penetrating sealer which forms an invisible barrier that is resistant to moisture and stains while allowing vapor to escape. Outdoor use is temperate climate only. Terra Nova ceramic tiles are NOT frost proof. | ||||||||||||
| Recommended Grout Type and Width | 1/4 in. grout line suggested. Use sanded grout when doing grout lines of 1/4 in. or more; and non-sanded grout when less than 1/4 in. We recommend to seal tile before grouting and to seal grout after installation. For further advice, contact your professional tile installer. | ||||||||||||
| Installation Recommendations | Lay out material prior to installation to properly blend and balance color. Due to size variation, we recommend to shuffle thru several boxes before installation. The application of a penetrating sealer is recommended in accordance with the sealer manufacturer’s instructions to further enhance the durability of the tile. Note: Always perform a sample test on an inconspicuous area, before applying the sealer on an entire tiled surface. | ||||||||||||
| Care Recommendations | Clean with mild cleanser and damp cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners. | ||||||||||||
| Purchasing Tile | Industry standard recommends adding on 5 to 10% additional tile to the tile needed to account for waste, special cuts, or other unforeseen problems. This is particularly important in complex installations. | ||||||||||||
