FANTASTIK
antastik is a global water-based clear polish
used to protect tiles, marble, linoleum, vinyl
and sealed wood. This product resists
scratches and marks, providing durable protection to your floors. We highly recommend its
use on your Earth Products tiles to give the terracotta a warm, semi-reflective shine which will
bring out their naural colour. MANUFACTURING PROCESS

villages are refined and mixed in water by foot
in precise proportions for strong binding.
CLAY TILES
Tiles are created by pressing the mix into molds
by hand and are then laid flat on mesh trays
for a prolonged and uniform drying. The curing
stage involves carefully monitoring the temperature and humidity levels.
ur clay tiles have a very unique characteristic, given the tiles are made out of fired
clay, no two tiled floors look alike.
Once dried throughout, the tiles are finished
by hand for a strong, durable, and smooth surface.

any room due to their earthen properties and

LAYING & MAINTAINING
ypically set in square or diagonally, many
combinations are possible in creating beautiful patterns, and supported with a full range of
fittings, giving your house a unique finish.
Clay tiles are laid in a cement and sand mortar. The tiles are soaked in water before being
set. A space of about 3cm is required from
base to floor surface for proper laying.
Rinse abundantly with water and a bit of a
scrub during the first 1 or 2 weeks after installation. This step is crucial in removing mineral
and cement residue.
