Finally, the construction of the house is well underway, most of the work is done, and now it’s time to focus on the details!
How could we not pay great attention to the finishes?! We’re not just talking about aesthetic care, but also the technical precision required to ensure a result that can withstand wear and the passage of time.
Terracotta flooring is a valid and important alternative for those who love to combine high-quality, natural finishes with technical efficiency and durability over time. In the case of flooring (as with other finishes), it’s not only the aesthetic side that needs attention but also the certainty that the work is carried out excellently from a technical standpoint. This is why the installation of a handmade terracotta floor is of fundamental importance.
Forno Bernasconi has been crafting clay tiles by hand for generations, creating terracotta floors that are ideal for both rustic environments and more contemporary, design-focused spaces.
Why choose a Terracotta Floor
- It is frost-resistant (a characteristic that makes it ideal for both indoor and outdoor environments).
- It can have anti-slip features (very important for outdoor flooring).
- It is durable (clay, the material used to make the tiles, is known for being highly durable and renewable).
- It is a natural material (water, fire, earth) and does not release any substances over time.
- It is timeless, both for its intrinsic technical characteristics and from an aesthetic perspective.
What are the variables that determine the cost of installation?
- The size of the terracotta tiles;
- The laying pattern;
- The design (any borders and/or rugs);
- The necessary grout and color (depending on the size and thickness of the terracotta).
The cost of the necessary products alone (adhesive, grout, and pre-treatment) for a professional installation is approximately 10/12 € per square meter.
In conclusion, considering all the possible variables, the price range is between 35 € and 40 € per square meter. Any additional discounts should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the quantity, convenience of the site, etc.
