12x12 Octagon Traditional Saltillo Tile – Pre-sealed 2-Tile Pattern

Timeless and versatile, our 12×12 Octagon Traditional Saltillo tile brings authentic Spanish-style warmth to floors in kitchens, entries, living areas, patios, and courtyards. This classic 2-tile pattern pairs 12×12 octagons with 4×4 accent tiles, and arrives pre-sealed to streamline installation and simplify care.

  • Pattern & Fit: 12×12 octagon tiles designed to pair with 4×4 accents for a distinctive, heritage look.
  • Color: Traditional finish—light and dark terracotta with sun-washed yellows and beiges; natural shade variation means no two tiles are alike.
  • Edge Options: Choose Super (rounded edges) or Regular (straight edges) to suit your design.
  • Pre-sealed Convenience: Factory-applied sealer adds moisture protection when installed properly and reduces ongoing maintenance.
  • Handmade Authenticity: Expect artisanal character—subtle bumps, chips, hairline cracks, lime pops, and minor size/thickness variation are part of genuine Saltillo craftsmanship.

Options & Sizes: Also available as an 8×8 Octagon with 3×3 accent tiles. Explore additional finishes, including Manganese, Antique, Antique Mission Red, and Spanish Mission Red, plus unsealed Saltillo for site finishing. Ask about accent choices (solid terracotta or decorative) to personalize your layout.

Care & Longevity: Handmade Saltillo develops a welcoming patina over time. Follow recommended installation and periodic care to preserve its beauty indoors and in covered outdoor areas.
