PLEASE CONSIDER: The Saltillo is unique, irregular, functional and expressive. Saltillo tiles vary in texture, Not perfectly flat, they have chipped edges, craters, and from time to time you may run into tiles with animal tracks. A high percentage of the batches of Saltillo tiles are subject to "lime pops". Craters or lime pops are caused by alkaline deposits, these are usually inhibited and may be stopped by sealing the tile with a penetrating sealer. Sealers penetrate into the lime pocket, demystifying it, keeping water out and therefore preventing the lime pop.

Substantial variations are expected for all Saltillo tiles. Size, random color and texture differences will be present from piece to piece. Final installation will be unique. Therefore, it is recommended that the entire range is viewed and arranged before installation.


The name of Saltillo in Saltillo tiles is derived from the city of Saltillo, Coahuila in Mexico. Saltillo is renown for its abundant natural resource of clay. This clay is particularly suitable to make Saltillo tile and is only found only in this region of Mexico.

The Saltillo clay has been used for centuries to make Saltillo tiles, it is greatly appreciated by those who like the ambience of warm of Mexican hacienda style, Mediterranean style, or California style homes.

The process of creating Saltillo tiles is similar to the old-world tradition of making tiles by hand; which is preserved and continues to this day in Saltillo. The unique clay and the process gives Saltillo tile a unique, random, natural look which is what makes Saltillo tiles so popular.

Raw Saltillo tiles can appear rather plain, but after installation, grouting, and sealing they are very attractive, easy to maintain and will virtually last forever.
