Tuscan Tiles:
Old World
Brown
One of our favorite colors. If you are trying to achieve an old
world look that makes you feel like you are in a 1500 year old castle,
this is your tile. Great for wine cellars or your entire
house. Our training in Italy has allowed us to achieve this look
with the Tuscan tiles using only water based sealers and wax from
England. It is truly special and reasonably priced for a unique
high end product.
Red Mahogany
Similar in ways to the Old World Brown but with Red and Black
hues. The tiles are hand sanded and then the sealers and
waxes are used to achieve this look. Amazing if you are in need
of a deep red. A very rich look indeed!
Tuscan Gold
This is the color that has been our most popular thru the years.
Amazing as it is the natural color of the tiles with some brown accents
added in the pores of the tile to give it a very naturally aged yet
clean look. A very special color and one that brightens rooms
that need more light and color.
Tuscan
Natural Sanded (not waxed or sealed)
Tuscan tiles with no sealer or wax. This can be
sanded or not sanded. The colors will range from tans, oranges,
to reds. If you order your tiles sanded but unsealed, this is
what you will receive. A gorgeous tile ready for your personal
touch.
Italian Naturally White Clay Tiles:
Muscat Wine
This white clay tile comes from Italy. This is a very rare clay
and tile as the clay is very hard to find. To our
knowledge, we are the only company in America offering white clay
terracotta flooring. The Muscat Wine tiles have been sealed
causing the white clay to turn to the Muscat colors which is an off
white antique look and we add brown wax to the pores of the tile to add
accenting and aging.
Parchment
White
A true white tile with black accents in the pores of the tiles.
This can also be done without the black accents for a pure white
look. Compared to similar colored stones, the clay has a
multidimensional look to it. Rarely will you see white clay in a
custom home but here is your opportunity. Would be beautiful in a
beach home or any home needing more light. Just amazing really!

AncientFloors.com presents Exclusive Handmade Antique Rustic Old World Terra Cotta (Italian: "Baked Earth") Tile that looks over 100 Years Old. You can order any design or pattern of freshly baked handmade tile with the texture that looks antique. We offer authentic tiles from France, Italy, Spain and Mexico. We also make trips to Europe every year in a search of Reclaimed materials. Currently we have several containers coming to US with gorgeous reclaimed and new tiles from France and Italy.
Terra cotta has been used throughout history for sculpture and pottery, as well as bricks and roof shingles. In ancient times, the first clay sculptures were dried (baked) in the sun after being formed. Later, they were placed in the ashes of open hearths to harden, and finally kilns were used, the same process we use in our factory today. Only after firing to high temperature would it be classed as a ceramic material strong enough to be used for the flooring.
Terra Cotta flooring was very popular in ancient Roman times. Large terra cotta tiles were used in first radiant heating applications in ancient Roma. During the Roman Empire the art of natural terra cotta and stone flooring reached a new height of innovation. These masters of architecture were able to design a series of floors that actually glowed with toasty warmth from below. These were the first below surface radiant heating systems.
This process made use of large tiles, propped up on joists, so that a gap was created beneath the surface of the floor. A furnace would then be placed at one end of this gap and lit, while a vent would be placed at the other end. This would draw heat continuously across the bottom of the floor, warming it considerably. These heated floors were used in the homes of the wealthy throughout the life of the empire.
Italians treasured terra cotta traditions throughout the history. One of the great examples of their respect for terra cotta flooring is wide numbers of chapels dated back to 15-th century in Bologna region. Chapels present incredible three-dimensional ornaments on the ceilings, richly decorated interiors and bold traditional terra cotta flooring.
Just like centuries ago, our manufacturers use wood burned kilns to create natural multicolored terra cotta tiles and bricks. Each of our tiles has unique timeless multicolored reflection of the fire resembling a stamp of proof that tiles were baked in a real wood burning kiln.
