Terracotta Look Porcelain Tile | Tile by Style
Since 1780, in the Chianti region of Tuscany, the Manetti family has been dedicated to the production of Cotto Imprunetino for 8 generations. By using the local raw materials and traditional artisanal production techniques, they proudly make a true terracotta that has unique technical and aesthetic properties. Fornace Sannini renews the tradition of cotto combining the tactile pleasure of a handmade product with the strength and absorption properties of the best industrial products. Manufactured employing extrusion technology, each single piece has, similar to handmade tiles, its own distinct identity. Shading and variation are created through a completely natural process; it’s all about the clay, the firing cycle and the position in the kiln.
Gazzini Briques is all about enabling playful creativity. With it we can make stunning showers and bathrooms that bring a feeling of zen relaxation. We can use it on kitchen backsplashes and fireplaces to add an earthy warmth. The long 2x18 rectangular shape is begging for people to create exciting new patterns, starting with herringbone and extending to wherever a designer’s vision takes them. As an R11 porcelain, it can be used for interiors and exteriors, walls and floors.
Terre Etrusche is a Terracotta look in 3 colors named after the regions in the middle of Italy, the “Land of the Etruscans.” The name evokes the historical nature of the terra-cotta look. And while it holds its place of importance in the ceramic tradition, it’s an aesthetic that never goes out of style. This porcelain version comes in 16 x 16 and an 8-1/2” Hexagon, both sizes that are historic and also current.
IL Cotto epitomizes the essence of terracotta. It has a very natural, earthy look with plenty of movement including the little specks and imperfections that are present in real terracotta material, while also having the technical advantages of glazed porcelain. The theme continues with the palette of three warm colors - Fango (mud), Terra (earth) and Sabbia (sand).
