MEXICAN PAVER INFORMATION

This product has been made for generations by the Tlaxcaltecas Artisans since 1577 from Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico. This is the genuine article; beautiful, distinctive, and authentic. This clay exists only in Saltillo, and is not found anywhere else in the world.

Saltillos have the following unique characteristics: They...

  • Have chipped edges.
  • Have little craters.
  • Are not all the same size.
  • Are not all the same thickness.
  • Are not all flat.
  • Are not all square.
  • Have occasional cracks on the surface.
  • Have on occasional animal print. (to have one of this you have to be very lucky).
  • Are not all the same color. (they even vary in shading in the same tile).
  • Are prone to have alkali in the clay. To eliminate problems they must be properly sealed and kept sealed.

These are not defects; they are what make the Saltillo so attractive. Raw Saltillos are very crude looking. After being sealed, installed and grouted they are very beautiful. When properly sealed and installed they are easy to maintain- they will literally last forever. This is why they occupy some of the finest homes all over the world.

* Due to unavoidable waste during installation adding 10% waste for regular installations and 18% for diagonal "diamond'" pattern installations is recommended. A border will add about 3 to 5% depending on the pattern.
