Description
Before contacting Jim Lytell Marble and Stone Restoration, or your local Company, it is useful to learn some things about your Terra Cotta floor. Terra Cotta dates back before the time of Christ. It is one of the oldest materials still used. Terracotta, which literally means “baked earth,” is made from natural clay, which gives it a characteristic reddish-brown color. The colors vary slightly depending on the clay used. The colors range from natural earth tones such as gray and brownish yellow to various shades of red. Terra cotta is usually handmade and varies in appearance and textures. It is a waterproof and very durable material. There are many different types including Italian, French, and Saltillo. Terra cotta can be refinished, stained, sealed, or it can also have a wash finish. Terra cotta tile can be restored to a satin, leather look or high gloss. It is a very difficult skill to acquire; we have been refinishing terra cotta for over 30 years. It is considered as one of our specialties.
