Tomette is a hexagonal terracotta tile. Typically Provençal, it brings warmth and authenticity with its unique patina.

Tomette on the floor of a Provençal kitchen or entrance is a classic. Polish it regularly to enhance its reddish patina.

Pitfall: untreated tomette absorbs everything. A waterproofing treatment and maintenance wax are essential.

Tomette tiles offer several advantages: they are durable, resistant to wear and humidity, and bring a warm and authentic touch to your interior. Moreover, their irregular appearance creates a unique charm and a highly appreciated artisanal look.

To maintain your tomette tiles, start by cleaning them regularly with a soft broom or vacuum cleaner. For deep cleaning, use a special terracotta tile cleaning product. Avoid abrasive products that could alter the patina of the tomettes.

You can choose different finishes for your tomette tiles: varnished, waxed, oiled, or left raw. Each finish offers a different visual appearance and texture, allowing you to customize the look of your flooring.

When laying tomette tiles, make sure you have a flat and clean surface. Use an appropriate tile adhesive and follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Also, allow for sufficiently wide joints to accommodate any floor movements.

Tomette tiles have seen a resurgence of interest in recent years. They are increasingly found in contemporary interiors, where they bring their old-world charm and particular texture. Certain trends are emerging, such as tomettes in bolder colors or larger formats.
