The four natural elements that, supported by man’s hands, give life to the natural terra cotta of HB-Classics. The production process starts with an accurate selection of the best clays, wisely blended, that are worked with ancient handcraft techniques without the aid of mechanical machinery.
Each piece is shaped using handmade wooden moulds. The tiles are left on the ground for 20 days until they are completely dry from natural air circulation. During this delicate process artisans make daily checks, implementing scrupulous quality controls and making sure that each piece dries properly. Once they are completely dry the products are finished on the edges and finally baked for ten days in wood-burning ancient stone kilns. This procedure gives an exceptional solidity to the tiles but above all a wide range of shades in warm colours that makes the terra cotta by HB-Classics an absolutely unique and inimitable product. Terra cotta tiles of HB-Classics stands for impeccable craftsmanship and timeless design.
