Field tile is the term used typically to describe commercial tile of one color used over most of the area to be tiled.

That depends on what is ordered. Stock items can be shipped within 2 days. Stock items needing to be glazed can be shipped in two weeks. Custom orders will be shipped when they are ready (this will be defined within the job quoting process).

Absolutely. Our ceramics are finished in a variety of ways suited to their application.

Our tiles are made from clay bodies appropriate for their intended use. They are fired at a higher temperature than most commercial tiles and are quite hardy. However, any tile, commercially made or hand-made, can be broken when abused.

Custom orders are typically installed by Earth Attitudes. For some projects or simple sprigs, customers can contract a local tiler. If the customer chooses to take responsibility for the installation process, we will provide the appropriate schematics and information.
