Terracotta Polishing in the Conservatory

It's been a while since I played Cluedo, but if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say; Nathan, in the Conservatory with the mop and bucket.

That was the scenario the other day when Art of Clean were called out to put new life into this aged Terracotta Conservatory. We dispatched Nathan. Armed with an assortment of waxes, lotions and potions (it's nearly Halloween you know), our young man set-to cleaning, stripping, waxing and sparkling theses dated tiles.

Now, few of you will be that familiar with Terracotta tiles, outside of a few jaunts to the Spanish Isles on your holidays, but, as you can see, Britain can make use of them too. The colour scheme in this conservatory suits and compliments these tiles well, adding a fresh feel to the warmth that these clay tiles naturally exude.

If you have a look below, you'll see the before and after photos, showing the results of Nathan's efforts to revive these tiles.

Terracotta tiles have this lovely, blush effect, almost as if someone said something saucy and the poor tiles are embarrassed but if this is the result, roll on the naughtiness.

If this has peeked your interest and you fancy repaving your conservatory or driveway or back garden, it's worth popping by our friends at Mandarin Stone, Cambridge for a peek at their range of Terracotta Tiles. You'll find Alicante (their 'Stone of the Month'), Barcelona Claro, Barcelona Rosado and even Mexicana.
