Terra Stone

The perfect accent to any classic terracotta installation. The Terra Stone series offers 18 decos in 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4 with two edge options: villa style edge (straight) or mission style edge (pillowed). The terracotta clay used makes these as tough as they come and is perfect for pools and other water features.

Malibu tile is a type of ceramic tile that takes its inspiration from the tiles that were produced at Malibu Potteries in Malibu, California, during the latter half of the 1920s. These tiles reflect a style of design that is referred to as Hispano-Moresque or Arabesque exhibiting bright contrasting glaze colors often in geometric patterns that are reminiscent of tiles produced many centuries ago in the Near and Middle East, North Africa and southern Spain.

The Malibu Potteries was founded by Rhoda May Knight Rindge in 1926. Unfortunately, a severe fire at the Malibu Potteries in 1931 led to the closure of the pottery the following year after only six years of production. However, the aesthetic represented by these tiles had an immediate appeal to architects and homeowners as they blended beautifully into the increasing popular Spanish Colonial Revival architecture.

Suitable for Shower Pan and/or Pool Lining
