7 Benefits of Handmade Tile

Big design impact is in the fine details, which is what you get with our handmade ceramic tiles. Whether we immediately think of it or not, tile choices can make a big difference in your interior’s overall feel. The colors in a shower, the patterns of an entryway floor, the subtle brush strokes in the glaze of a kitchen backsplash. Tie your space together with tile that you’ll love for years to come. Find out the 7 benefits of handmade ceramic tiles below!

1. Long Life

Ceramic tile is best known for its durability and standing the test of time. In our manufacturing process, each tile is heated up to 2000 degrees Fahrenheit over an 8 hour period. All that heat creates great strength for a timeless product

2. Easy to Clean

No one wants to spend extra time wiping off walls or cleaning floors. Our ceramic tile is very low maintenance. The beautiful finish of our glazes not only makes them easy to clean but it keeps them dirt resistant.

4. Handmade Character

The entire process of the tile is made by hand: cutting the tile, glazing, firing, and layout. This makes each tile unique, the slight variation in the overall design makes for a stunning layout that is both organic and intentional.
