Terracotta gives it a 5\/8 inch body, considerably heavier than the ceramic version of the same format, and pieces are uniform in tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClay under a grey glaze\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body underneath is fired clay, and the glaze on top carries the colour. Uniform variation means the grey holds steady across a run, which keeps the focus on the proportion of the piece rather than on tonal movement. Style is recorded as rustic. Terracotta tiles at 5\/8 inch read with more depth at an exposed edge than thinner wall tiles do. Glazed clay also takes light differently from a machine made body: the surface sits very slightly unevenly, so reflections break up instead of running flat along a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubstantial body\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/8 inch of clay behind the glaze, thicker than standard wall tile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEven colour\u003c\/strong\u003e Pieces are recorded as uniform, so the grey stays consistent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApproved broadly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRatings include commercial and residential interior floors and walls, shower walls, residential light floors and backsplash, with living room, bathroom and kitchen as rooms.
