In the Netherlands, terracotta tiles are also known as Abbey tiles, farm tiles, or estriks. However, in our opinion, these are not nearly as beautiful as genuine reddish-brown terracotta tiles. The 100% natural clay in Spain and Portugal is red in color and gives the baked tiles their warm terracotta hue. You can purchase Terracotta tiles from tile dealer Solza for both outdoor and indoor use. In this blog post, we'll show you how to use Terracotta tiles outdoors.
Outdoor Terracotta Tiles
Terracotta tiles can be used both indoors and outdoors and last an incredibly long time. Sometimes centuries, but at least a lifetime. Terracotta tiles are extremely suitable for walkways, patios, garden rooms, and even driveways if you purchase the right quality tiles.
Where Portuguese tiles made from red clay truly shine is around a swimming pool. Their red color creates a Mediterranean atmosphere and gives you a holiday feeling. Especially if you have a white house, terracotta tiles look beautiful on a walkway around the house, on the driveway, or on a patio.
Do you want to clad the exterior of your house with facade cladding? Terracotta tiles can also be used for this purpose. Especially the thin strips of 20x5 cm in a brick format look great on facades. They resemble bricks a little.
Impregnating Terracotta Tiles
When you buy terracotta tiles for outdoor use, for example, around a swimming pool or on a patio, it is advisable to impregnate them against dirt and moisture. This way, they require little maintenance, last even longer, and feel more comfortable for bare feet.
