Burnt Cinnamon & Amber Star and Cross Terracotta Mosaic Tile - Stripe Pattern

Stripes have never looked this ancient.

Our Burnt Cinnamon & Amber star and cross terracotta mosaic tile in the stripe pattern is a study in beautiful contrast. Warm amber and deep burnt cinnamon flow across the surface in alternating bands. Bold enough to make a statement, timeless enough to never go out of style. It's Mediterranean magic with a modern editorial edge.

Ancient artisans knew something we're still learning today. That geometry and color together can transform a space entirely. We honor that wisdom. Every terracotta tile is handcrafted using traditional techniques that have survived centuries. We're just making sure they survive a few more.

We also made it practical. Traditional terracotta tile is notoriously thick and heavy. Ours is precision-cut thin. Easy to handle. Built to last. Your installation stays smooth and your surfaces stay extraordinary.

Each 12×12 inch sheet arrives mesh-mounted in a neat 3×3 mosaic layout. Pre-arranged. Ready to set. The hard work is already done for you.

This is the terracotta mosaic tile that gives a room its rhythm.

Sample orders ship in 2 business days unless otherwise noticed on the website.

Full sheet mosaic tiles ship in 2-3 weeks if they're in stock. That said, we don’t typically keep a deep inventory, so when they're out of stock, lead times often start at around 12–16 weeks for limestone mosaics and 4–6 weeks for terracotta mosaics, but can vary based on your order size. Please contact us as soon as you can so we can provide a timeline for your project. We look forward to being part of the beauty of your project!

1. How much extra do I need to order?
   We recommend ordering at least 15-20% extra as an industry standard to cover potential waste during installation and be able to show full pattern equally and centered.
   
   
2. Do I need to grout?
   Yes, we do recommend using an unsanded grout that is applicable to natural stones.
   
   
3. Do I need to seal this product?
   Yes, sealing before and after installation is recommended. Please choose a type of sealant that is applicable to limestone and holds the original color.
   If you would like to have the materials in more vibrant colors instead, we recommend an enhanced sealant or stone wax (after non-enhanced sealed) with using a heavy fabric such as denim.
   
   
4. How often do I need to seal it?
   Sealing is recommended for every other year in dry areas and once a year in wet areas. Simply, same as almost every natural stone tile.
   
   
5. Is this product durable considering its 1/4" thickness?
   In a nutshell, yes, it is very durable because it's natural stone. This is one of the greatest feature of the product even though it comes with a thin structure.
   
   
6. My products came with different calibrations. Is it normal?
   Yes, it is because our products are handmade. They are meant to be in different calibrations and textures from another.
   
   
7. How much variation I should be expecting?
   Since we use natural stone, moderate variation should be expected. This is one of the reasons our products look unique.
   
   
8. Is this product suitable for around a pool or outdoor area?
   We don’t recommend using it around pools as cleaning products and pool chemicals may etch the surface or cause discoloration over time. That said, if your project is in a mild climate, the tile can be suitable for outdoor areas like patios, porches, or walkways—just not in direct contact with pool water.
   
   
9. What is the lead time?
   We ship full orders in 2-3 weeks if the products are in stock. That said, we don’t typically keep a deep inventory, so when they're out of stock, lead times often start at around 12–16 weeks for limestone mosaics, but can vary based on your order size. Please contact us as soon as you can so we can provide a timeline for your project. We look forward to being part of the beauty of your project!

Applications

How To Install

It’s crucial to use a regular waterproof sealant and an unsanded grout that are suitable for limestone. Alternatively, if you prefer more vibrant colors, you can opt for a color-enhancing sealant instead of the regular one.

Please make sure to apply the sealant both before and after grouting, and apply it generously to ensure a proper installation.

Since natural stones are highly porous, applying a waterproof sealant that suits the limestone is vital. The sealant must deeply penetrate the stone to provide effective protection.

Please note that minor chips, cracks, and color variations are natural characteristics of our products. The grout will seamlessly complement these imperfections, giving the surface a natural, timeworn antiqued appearance.

Natural stone tiles add timeless elegance to any space, but maintaining their beauty requires proper care. With their natural composition, these tiles demand specific upkeep techniques to ensure longevity and aesthetics same as any natural stone. This maintenance guide provides easy-to-follow steps for cleaning, sealing, and preserving your limestone tiles.

Daily Care for Natural Stone Tiles

1. Sweep or Vacuum
   Use a soft broom or vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the tile surface. Do this daily or as needed.
   
   
2. Damp Mop
   Clean with a damp (not wet) mop and pH-neutral cleaner designed for limestone. Avoid abrasive or acidic cleaners like vinegar, lemon juice, or bleach, as these can damage the limestone's surface.
   
   
3. Wipe Spills Immediately
   Limestone is porous and can absorb liquids, leading to stains. Clean spills promptly with a soft cloth or paper towel to prevent absorption.
   
   
4. Inspect for Stains
   Check for any discolorations or stains. Treat stains with a stain remover specifically designed for limestone.

Sealing Natural Stone Tiles

Sealing is critical to protect your natural stone tiles from stains and moisture damage. The frequency depends on the sealant type and foot traffic.

• Choose the Right Sealant
  Use a penetrating sealer designed for limestone. Avoid topical sealers, as they can alter the tile's natural look.
  
  
• Apply the Sealant
• Clean the tiles thoroughly and let them dry completely.
• Apply the sealer evenly with a soft cloth, sponge, or applicator brush.
• Let the sealant soak in for the recommended time (check the product label).
• Wipe off excess with a clean, dry cloth to avoid streaks.
  
  
• Reapply as Needed
  Reseal every 6-12 months depending on the traffic or when water no longer beads on the surface.

Stain Removal Tips

1. Oil Stains: Use an oil stain remover formulated for limestone. Apply it to the stain, let it dry, and wipe it away.
   
   
2. Organic Stains: Use a diluted hydrogen peroxide solution, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
   
   
3. Rust Stains: Apply a rust remover formulated for limestone. Avoid generic rust removers, as they may damage the tile.

Preventative Measures

1. Furniture Pads
   Add felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches.
   
   
2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
   Steer clear of acidic or alkaline cleaners and abrasive scrubbing tools.
   
   
3. Regular Maintenance
   Schedule professional resealing every 6-12 months depending on the traffic or when water no longer beads on the surface.
