Fireclay Handpainted Ceramic: Built to Outlast Cement

Wall and floor applications, pools, fountains, stair risers, fireplaces, outdoor BBQ’s, hospitality and retail projects. Please note gloss colors may be slippery for flooring applications. Several of our glaze colors are acid sensitive, so when using handpainted tiles for a pool or fountain please consult our glaze specification sheet to identify the most appropriate colors.

We make our handpainted tile in our Aromas, California factory using our clay bodies as the base. When an order is placed, bisqued tile (clay tile that has been fired once to create a hard, durable body) is screen-printed with the chosen handpainted patterns, using a black wax resist to prevent glazes from running. After the pattern is screened onto the clay body, the glaze colors are then applied. Upon completion of the painting, the tiles are fired, packed and shipped.

Please note, due to the nature of hand applied glazes we cannot guarantee that glaze colors will match across our field and Handpainted tiles.

Our ceramic products are fired at a very high temperature to ensure the highest quality and durability which make our tiles suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
