Twenty five pieces make up a box, which comes to 6.05 square feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClay under the white\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTerracotta is a handmade clay body, and the glaze laid over it pools where the surface dips and thins where it rises. That is why no two of these are quite the same white, and why the variation inside one box counts as the look rather than a fault. Matte holds the effect steady instead of bouncing light off it. The bevel gives every tile its own shadow line, which on a white field is most of what stops it from reading as a flat plane. Twenty five pieces to a box is an awkward number to divide, which is another reason to work from several boxes at once rather than finishing one before opening the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePooled glaze\u003c\/strong\u003e Shade shifts across the face and from tile to tile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBevelled edges\u003c\/strong\u003e Each piece draws its own shadow line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLight residential floors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rating on file is residential light floors, with living room as the room noted. Twelve boxes reach 60 square feet with cutting allowed for. Handmade clay is not as uniform as machine pressed tile, so open several boxes at once and mix the pieces as you go rather than working through one box at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwelve boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.05 square feet each for a 60 square foot area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMix the boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e Spread the shade differences instead of banding them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we chose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade body\u003c\/strong\u003e Clay and glaze behave like a craft product, not a print.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft surface\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte hides smudges that a gloss would collect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo sealing on the face\u003c\/strong\u003e The glaze does that job already.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glazed face needs no sealer and wipes down with ordinary tile cleaner.
