Here’s an in-depth look at our specialized approach to Saltillo restoration and why JK Marble Maintenance is trusted for this unique tile type.
Origin and Composition of Saltillo
Saltillo tiles originate from the town of Saltillo, Mexico.
They are crafted by hand from natural clay, then sun-dried and low-temperature fired.
The result is a one-of-a-kind tile with earthy tones and a porous surface, adding character to any space.
Benefits of Saltillo in Home Design
Saltillo tiles bring warmth and a distinctive rustic look to interiors, making them a favorite for southwestern and Mediterranean-style homes.
Each tile varies in color and texture, giving floors an artisanal feel that’s hard to replicate with other materials.
Common Issues with Saltillo Tiles
Saltillo tiles require specific care to address their vulnerabilities. JK Marble Maintenance has the expertise to handle the following issues:
Efflorescence and Salt Deposits
Efflorescence, or salt deposits, occurs when moisture draws salts to the tile’s surface, leaving a white powdery residue.
JK Marble Maintenance offers specialized treatments to eliminate efflorescence, safely keeping Saltillo’s rich colors intact.
Staining and Discoloration
Saltillo’s porous surface makes it susceptible to stains from oils, rust, and water.
JK Marble Maintenance utilizes advanced stain-removal techniques that restore Saltillo’s natural beauty without damaging the tile.
Sealer Wear and Tear
Sealants protect Saltillo from stains and scratches but wear down over time.
JK Marble Maintenance can reapply high-quality sealers that protect and enhance the tiles, preserving their color and durability.
Cracked or Chipped Tiles
Saltillo’s handmade nature makes it prone to cracks and chips.
JK Marble Maintenance provides professional repairs, using color-matching techniques that blend seamlessly with the original tile.
