ceramic tile product lines Natural Press vs. Original Ceramic
A Tale of Two Tiles
Fireclay Tile was founded in 1986, manufacturing handmade tile in California. Since our origins, we’ve made our tile using extrusion, where tile shapes are cut from a ribbon of wet clay. In 2022, we purchased a 57 year old tile factory in Washington to expand our capabilities. This factory specializes in a Natural Press technique where clay is milled into powder and pressed into molds. Two techniques, two ceramic tile bodies, one enduring commitment to produce the most beautiful handmade tile in the world, right here in America.
