As the Mexican Saltillo and terracotta tile experts, we know a thing or two about how to install Saltillo tile. In fact, our Saltillo tile installation tips apply to almost any other handmade terracotta tile, too.
Thinset is REALLY important. Really important. If proper thinset for Mexican Saltillo tile floors isn’t used during the installation process, you’ll be left with the expense of time and money repairing the terracotta flooring.
Proper thinset for Saltillo tile and most handmade terracotta tiles must have the strength and flexibility to adhere the tiles to their subfloor – and last a long time. So, avoid cheap quality thinsets. You’ll need to source semi or fully-modified thinsets to properly install Saltillo flooring.
When a presealed Saltillo tile is installed with proper installation materials, you’ll enjoy a low-maintenance, long-lasting Mexican tile floor.
