Color

Both
glazed and bisque (unglazed): size and texture
variation. |
|
. |
|
Several
types of surface irregularities can occur (surface
pops, puddle of glaze in depressions).
|
|
. |
|
Surface
pops
and efflorescence may occur before and/or
after installation and are not uncharacteristic of
handcrafted tiles.
|
|
. |
|
Surface
pops
result from concentrated spots of lime that
pop off of the tile. Efflorescence describes the
growth of
salt crystals on a bisque surface due to the
evaporation of
salt laden water. On glazed tiles this happens
below the
glaze surface and can have the same effect.
|
|
. |
|
Crazing
and crackling are inherent characteristics of
many handcrafted tiles.
|
|
. |
|
Crackling
describes the appearance of cracks in the glaze
surface. |
|
. |
|
Crazing
describes a condition in which tile may appear to
have tiny spider-web fractures in the glaze.

|
Samples
may not accurately represent the full range of
variations of the actual order. |
|
. |
|
Lot
variation
in size and color may occur from shipment to
shipment. No guarantee that tiles received in
subsequent
orders, as add-ons will match or blend well with
those from
original order.
|

. |
|
Avoid
customer service problem or delay,
order 5 %
extra for cuts, breakage and layout changes.
|
|
. |
|
A
mud set or thin set is
recommended, especially if tile will
come in contact with water. Never apply tile to
green
board or sheetrock & never use mastic.
|
|
. |
|
The
surfaces
of handcrafted tiles are rarely flat and may
vary in thickness. Installers should shuffle tile
and/or draw
from multiple cartons to take advantage of these
variations. |
|
. |
|
Bisque
refers to unglazed tile that should be sealed before
grouting.
|
|
. |
|
Sanded
Grout
is recommended for grouting.
