TerraTile specializes in unique floor and paving tiles. These tiles are unglazed, homogeneous, and extruded. This results in a pleasing appearance that looks and feels natural without sacrificing superior technical characteristics or durability.
Each tile offers a variety of technical specifications. These tiles have a water absorption rating of approximately seven percent, and each tile meets the industry standards for chemical resistance. The added durability of our tiles provides resistance against fading, fire, and dents. The tiles are also resistant to oils, acids, detergents, chemicals, frost, mold, and salt. That equates to flooring that always looks incredible.
TerraTile is ideal for nearly any application, including residential, commercial and industrial buildings and spaces. The durability and quality of the tiles allow for a wide range of possibilities. Use these tiles in commercial kitchens, restaurants, shopping centers, pathways, factories, railway stations, and food processing plants. The natural, slip-resistant, tough, unglazed surface allows for easy maintenance for any environment.
Terratile Color Choices
See More ExamplesOur tiles come in four rich tones and colors: red, terracotta, cappuccino, and chocolate. These natural earth tones add warmth to any space and are easy to match with any color in your residential, commercial, or industrial space to perfectly accent other design elements. Remember that, depending on your monitor, colors may not appear accurate. We recommend ordering tile samples to decide on the final color. Colors may also vary between lots, allowing for unique shades and tones for every project.
