ABOUT RED CLAY TILE WORKS

CUSTOM WORK
Kitchen backsplashes and decorative fireplace facades are great applications for our unique handmade tiles. We have done many diverse and unusual projects for clients in residential and commercial spaces. Since we actually make what we sell, design possibilities are endless and are limited only by the imagination. Our tile can be used in most locations where a tile or stone product is suitable. The studio can help with the design phase or work from the client’s concept within the limits of our materials and equipment. Contact us with your project and you can be sure that you will receive careful, individual attention and thoughtful solutions. We have more tiles than are shown and make new designs as needed.

THE PRODUCT
Our tiles are made by hand with great care through several steps that require time. We make our own clay body and glazes to suit the type of work that we do. Our tiles can be used any place tile is appropriate however we do not recommend our tiles for exterior horizontal applications such as outdoor patios or walkways in most cases. Tiles and house number tiles mounted on vertical surfaces will endure the rigors of the elements and will last indefinitely if installation instructions or industry practices are followed.
