Care & Maintenance
The handmade, artisanal qualities of our product have drawn customers to choose Clay Art Tiles for generations. We pay attention to every detail of the tile to ensure the highest quality.
As a result of our artisanal production and glazing techniques, some tonal variation should be expected in both our floor and wall tiles, which we try to reflect in our product photography. The surface undulation of our tiles may vary from batch to batch, and tiles may not be perfectly square due to uneven shrinkage and firing.
Wherever possible, we recommend that tiles are laid out prior to fixing.
All of our glazed tiles are suitable for use in bathrooms.
Our ceramic tiles may craze over time. This is a celebrated characteristic of ceramic tiles.
Please note that all ceramic tiles are susceptible to impact damage and undue abrasion.
Crackle Glaze Handmade Tiles
Clay Art’s Handmade Crackle glazed tiles require sealing on the top glazed surface. We recommend using Mosaico Clay Art Tiles Crackle Glaze Sealer.
All cut tiles must be sealed with a proprietary sealer to prevent bleed from the base of the tile into the glaze. Seal tiles with a proprietary sealer prior to grouting.
All tiles must be sealed following installation. Please follow manufacturers’ instructions. Note that glazed tiles are unsuitable for work surfaces.
Reactive Maintenance
Tiles with reactive glazes notably our Soho Collection should only be cleaned using soap and water with a soft cloth.
Acid based cleaners will react with the glaze and damage the surface of the tiles. Note reactive glazes are unsuitable for work surfaces.
Grout Width & Care Security
We recommend a variable grout width of 3-5mm for our wall tile collections.
We recommend that tiles are laid out by eye (not with plastic spacers) prior to fixing, halving any size differences.·

BESPOKE & HANDMADE TILES
The Clay Art Tiles ranges you see on our website are just a selection of the tiles that we offer. We appreciate that tile designs can be inspired from virtually anywhere, from the worlds of art and fashion through to different cultures and the world around us. We love working closely with our clients to develop bespoke tiles that add a true uniqueness to a scheme. These tiles can be designed collaboratively and then produced using traditional press methods, or they can be handmade, making each tile a work of art.
Please get in touch if you’re looking for something bespoke to make your next project stand out from the crowd.
