How They Are Made
Gossamer Crackle tiles are pressed by hand and individually cut. The clay pieces are painted, glazed and then fired. Because the materials in the clay shrink at a different rate than the glaze, hairline cracks occur on the surface of the tile. This process creates the exceptional crackle finish on each tile and adds depth to the wonderful, soft colors of our Gossamer line.

Use & Care
Crackle tiles are intended for interior wall applications only. They require special care when used in wet areas, such as showers and baths because water can seep through the cracks on the face of the tile, moistening the tile bisque and discoloring the tile until it dries. To prevent this, the tiles should be sealed before and after grouting.
