Saltillo Tile Types

Saltillo Tiles come in a variety of types. You can buy saltillo tiles for your floor, wall, sinks, and murals. This enables you to bring that Mexican beauty to all parts of your home. Saltillo floor tile is by far the most popular type of tile, and you will find this readily throughout Mexico and the southwestern United States. Saltillo floor tile is very attractive and beautiful to many people because of the variety and uniqueness of each individual tile, even among the "same" color tile. Each slight discoloration of floor tile gives your home that authentic look. It is also a trademark of saltillo floor tile to be chiped on the edges, have small craters, and also vary in thickness and shape. This does not mean the pieces are defective, but that they are truly authentic saltillo tiles. Wall tiles and sink saltillo tiles are also very popular among the Mexicans and American Southwest. They look much the same as floor tiles except that they often have Mexican designs and pictures on them from Mexican folk lore and stories.
