TERRACOTTA TILE CLEANING SUNSHINE COAST
At Tile and Grout Cleaning Sunshine Coast, we specialise in terracotta tile cleaning services.
Terracotta tiles are one of the oldest types of clay ceramic tiles. The name "terracotta" comes from Italian words meaning "baked earth." These red-coloured tiles fit well with architecture in areas like Tuscany, Italy.
The tiles are made from clay. The clay's high iron content gives the tiles their reddish colour. Tile makers form the clay into shapes. They bake the shaped clay at very high temperatures up to 1000°F in a kiln.
High-density terracotta tiles are best for heavy-use areas like roofing. The dense clay makes these tiles very strong. They can resist cracking and damage from all weather conditions over time. High-density tiles are the best investment for long-lasting outdoor projects.
Low-density tiles cost less but break more easily. The softer clay easily cracks under pressure. Low-density tiles are too delicate for walkways, patios or anywhere with foot traffic or weight on them. They also absorb liquid and stains faster through the porous clay. Use low-density tiles strictly for decorative purposes.
You can find terracotta tiles with either a glazed or unglazed finish. Glazing requires a second firing in the kiln. The extreme heat melts an extra layer of glass-like coating onto the clay. This makes the tiles water-resistant and easier to clean.
However, the super-hot glazing process changes the tile's natural terracotta colour. Many people prefer the original reddish tones. So if a true terracotta look is important for your design, unglazed tiles may be the better choice. Unglazed terracotta tiles showcase the material's signature colouring and porous nature.
Another option is hand-treated sealants. These liquid coatings are manually brushed onto the baked tiles. The treatment protects the surface without overly altering the distinctive colours.
For high-traffic areas like entryways or patios, glazed tiles provide crucial waterproofing. The super-strong glass finish stands up well to heavy usage over time. The trade-off of less colour authenticity is often worth the durability gain. Opt for glazed tiles whenever moisture resistance is a priority.
