Usage Guide

BODY

Tabarka tile is hand crafted and consists of a special mixture of clays and adhesives that make it resistant for floor traffic and easy to install on walls. Small imperfections such as tiny cracks and chips that add character to the rustic nature of the tile are not considered a defect.

VARIATIONS

Tabarka terracotta is hand made and hand painted. Like any other artisan made product they may present some color and size variations from lot to lot. Therefore we cannot guarantee color or shade matching from shipment to shipment. For any add-ons to existing orders, we recommend sending a control sample to minimize any variations in color.

FLOOR APPLICATIONS

tabarka tiles are suitable for use on residential traffic floors. Just like any antique terracotta, depending on the traffic, special care may be needed. On floor surfaces, cleaning with a damp mop and mild soap is suggested. Always avoid the use of abrasive products containing bleach, ammonia and/or paint thinner. Never scrub with rough materials that may damage the surface

Tabarka tiles are intended for indoor use only.

WET APPLICATIONS

Suitable for use on shower walls always a few inches above the shower floor.These tiles should not be installed in steam showers, saunas, shower floors or submerged water applications such as pools, fountains and water lines. It is recommended to prepare the surface with a waterproof membrane. Tabarka Studio will not be responsible for material failures resulting from use over a damaged, defective or improperly prepared surface and cannot be held responsible for replacement of tile used in areas with complete water submersion including, but not limited to pools & fountains.

USE ON COUNTERTOPS

The use on kitchen countertips or working surfaces is not recommended since the acidity of liquid spills, and excessive heat from cooking utensils may damage the surface of the tiles. If using around a fireplace or near a stove (such as a kitchen backsplash) care should be taken that the tiles are not exposed to high levels of direct heat or open flame.
