{"product_id":"glazed-terracotta-tiles-6x6","title":"Glazed Terracotta Tiles 6x6","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 6x6 glazed terracotta tile with a bevelled edge and a 3\/8 inch body. Variation between pieces is slight, which for a clay based product means the glaze has come out close from piece to piece rather than identical. Twenty five to a box, 6.05 square feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClay and glaze\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerracotta means fired clay, and the glaze that goes over it carries whatever surface quality the tile has. The bevel at the perimeter catches light and puts a small shadow at every joint, which gives a plain square some articulation. Style is recorded as classic. Glazed terracotta tiles behave differently from porcelain under a blade, being softer and more prone to chipping if a cut is rushed. Firing also leaves each piece very slightly different in shape, so a run laid tight will show small irregularities along the joint that a machine made tile would not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBevelled perimeter\u003c\/strong\u003e Each edge steps slightly, so joints read as shadow lines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClose but not identical\u003c\/strong\u003e Slight variation is normal where a glaze is fired onto clay.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShower walls carries the rating, kitchen the recorded room. Waterproofing belongs behind the tile. A box covers 6.05 square feet, so twelve boxes handle 60 square feet with the cutting margin added. Cuts should be taken slowly on a clay body, especially where a bevel meets the blade. Ordering the full quantity together avoids mixing firings, which is where a visible change in the glaze usually comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwelve boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.05 square feet a box across 60 square feet, waste included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlow the cuts\u003c\/strong\u003e A softer body chips more readily than porcelain does.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we chose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArticulated surface\u003c\/strong\u003e Bevelled edges keep a plain square from reading flat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy arithmetic\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.05 square feet a box, 25 pieces, straightforward to count.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo sealing\u003c\/strong\u003e The glaze does the protecting, so no sealer enters the job.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA household tile cleaner handles the glaze.
