Andaluz Santa Barbara Andaluz: Merlot Gloss

$ 2.25

Description:

Santa Barbara ceramic tile collection evokes the California landscape, with a combination of vivid and subtle colors offset by neutrals and matte finishes. It is this combination of mattes and gloss finishes in a vast array of colors that our Santa Barbara ceramic tile becomes rich, vibrantly alive, and harmonious.

Our ceramic tile is handcrafted and decorated by hand using an ancient method called Cuerda Seca that literally translates to dry cord. This technique has been used for centuries in Spain and other Mediterranean countries. The depth and richness of the colors are obtained by painstakingly applying every single drop of glaze by hand onto a delineated design.

  • Light-use residential flooring.
  • Outdoor use in areas where freezing temperatures are not common. Tiles are not frost proof.
