casale rustico features a hand-hewn italian terracotta clay body awash with a glossy white glaze with a slight surface ripple and all the imperfections of a sun-drenched tuscan farmhouse. perfect for projects seeking the warmth and rusticity of an artisan terracotta tile but with a minimalist air.
clé partnered with third generation italian terracotta tile makers fornace brioni to create an exclusive collection of traditional terracotta tile. casale rustico is our first glazed terracotta offering. this material follows age-old tradition handed down through the generations. casale rustico grew out of clé founder deborah osburn's desire to create new design possibilities with rustic white tile, not just by offering a tile with a perfect blend of earthy and modern, but by creating two bundles for white tile installations with a modern, unexpected edge.

do i need to seal casale rustico tiles? for casale rustico tiles, you must apply sealant or a grout release before grouting to minimize risk of grout haze and to allow for easy clean up. for all other sealing and protecting, clé recommends stonetech bulletproof sealer from laticrete. for more information about sealing please see our casale rustico installation & maintenance guide.
do you offer trim for your casale rustico tile? at clé we follow the international model of no trim and highly recommend our clients to do the same. below are the trim alternatives we recommend for this collection. - if your project needs to turn a corner either inwardly or outwardly, mitering the tiles to meet seamlessly in a corner gives it the cleanest, crafted finish. - another way to complete your tiling is to run a bead of caulk or grout along the exposed tile edge. - like with any of our tiles, you can also build out the sheetrock so that the surface of the finished sheetrock is flush with the surface of the tile. for more detailed recommendations about trim, please see our trim guide.
how much variation should i expect? all casale rustico tiles are made by hand, therefore crazing and noticeable variations in thickness, depth, color, shade, texture and size are to be expected. color and shade variations between tile sizes and shapes can occur as well. you might also have some tiles with cracks, pits and chips. due to the variations in color and shade of casale rustico tiles, it is important to blend the tiles from all boxes once they arrive and place them in their installation area to ensure you have the layout you want before installing. what's crazing, and should this be expected with casale rustico tiles? casale rustico tiles are made by hand and can show visible crazing. crazing refers to the hairline cracks which may occur in the glaze surface of tile after firing and is common in handcrafted tile. variation and imperfection ratings: casale rustico tiles are rated 'level 2 slight' for color variation, 'level 3 medium' for texture variation, 'level 2 medium' for size variation, and 'level 1 light' for both pits/chips and cracks/crazing. see illustrations in the technical specifications section above, and read more about the ratings in our tile variation & imperfections guide.
how will my casale rustico samples compare to my actual order? as noted in the variation and add on orders sections of our faq, color and size variation between production batches (or kiln loads) of casale rustico tile, in addition to variation from tile to tile, is to be expected given the handcrafted nature of the product. this makes it unlikely that your sample will be a perfect match with your actual order.
how is the casale rustico collection sold? our casale rustico collection is made up of three shapes: the quadrato square (4"x4"x1/2"), normale rectangle (8"x4"x1/2"), and the misto rectangle (7"x 3 1/2"x1/2"). The three shapes can be purchased individually, or we also sell the shapes in two bundles: the normale bundle (comprised of two quadrato squares for every normale rectangle), and the misto bundle (comprised of one quadrato square for every misto rectangle). is there a particular layout i should follow when installing casale rustico bundles? if you like the look of our misto and normale bundle installs but find yourself needing a little guidance, read our installation blueprint for step by step instructions. 2ff7e9595c
