Elios Terre Etrusche | Porcelain Tile
Terre Etrusche is a Terracotta look in 3 colors named after the regions in the middle of Italy, the “Land of the Etruscans.” The name evokes the historical nature of the terra-cotta look. And while it holds its place of importance in the ceramic tradition, it’s an aesthetic that never goes out of style. This porcelain version comes in 16 x 16, 8 x 16, 8 x 8, and 8-1/2” Hexagon, all sizes that are historic and also current. Maoilica styled decorative options in 8 x 8 and Hexagon complete the line.

Traditional Maioliche patterns in white and blue glazes are laid over the 3 terracotta base colors. Then the patterns are faded as if worn off over time. The 7 different patterns each appear on multiple pieces - some are worn more and some are worn less - for a total of 41 faces. The deco patterns are mixed and sold randomly.

*Note: Elios has multiple production facilities in the Europe. They develop their own original designs in Italy and then produce them at the factory that is most advantageous for making a particular size. In the Terre Etrusche line, this means the Hexagon is produced in their facility in Spain while everything else is produced in Italy.
As noted in the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) the coefficient of friction varies considerably due to facts not under the control of entities such as the manufacturers and distributors. These factors include, but are not limited to, contaminants, slope of terrain, drainage conditions, adjacent surfaces, etc. Suitability for any installation can only be determined by a site examination of all conditions that could affect the slip resistance of the tile being installed. Continual cleaning and maintenance must be performed once the tile has been installed.
