Color Chart

Clicking on a color chart image and thumbing through the details will show a larger detail view of a field and decorative relief tile for each selected glaze.

Designing with Terra Firma tile is very straight forward. Since the actual size of the tile is 3/16 inch less than the stated nominal size to include space for a 3/16 inch grout joint, using a grid pattern like graph paper to layout the installation is quite easy. (i.e. 4x4 field is actually 3-13/16 x 3-13/16.)

All tile sizes are also modular, ranging in size from 1x1 to 8x8. They can be mixed at will and still maintain the 3/16" grout space. Design to the full inch and the grout joint takes care of itself. And if a non-standard size field tile is needed, specify the special nominal size required and a standard size can be cut down to fit. We prefer to special cut to size before the tile are glazed so that all edges will be consistent.

Any field tile edge may be bullnosed or edge glazed. If a field tile edge will be exposed, such as on the tile surrounding a firebox opening, specify either edge glazing or bullnosing for that edge. All decorative relief and moulding tile have all edges glazed automatically.
