Terracottas Tiles have been around in certain parts of the world for over two millennia, in fact the word Terracottas means 'burned earth'. The ancient Romans used a variety of terra-cotta tiles in their villas and palaces for many centuries as they found the tiles very durable and strong. This is because Terracottas was very thick as compared to modern tiles and therefore withstood a lot of wear and tear.
The one big downside to Terracottas is the fact that it has no glaze on the surface and can pick up and store muck and dirt very quickly. If you have ever owned a Terracottas floor before you will be able to relate to this problem.
The answer of course is to seal them, but which sealants do you use as there are so many of them on the market, the best answer is to get some advice and as any tiler worth his salt will tell you Terracottas tiles are the most problematic to seal. Wax sealants tend not to soak all the way into the tile and some residue is left on the surface which overtime with traffic wear, tends to discolour to a darker shade whilst leaving the outside edges clean where they are not walked on that much. Some terracottas we have worked with have need in excess of eight coats of sealent. However the finished result was fantastic, well worth the effort.
