* This product has high variation and distressed characteristics. This product will show fracturing and minor cracks on the surface. Expect voids in the clay and chipping on the surface. Also expect irregular shapes and sizes from the clay features. These imperfections are part of the product design, they will not jeopardize the integrity of the product.
DESCRIPTION
Breeze blocks are produced by extracting dense clay through a patterned die. These non-structural blocks are designed to combine the aesthetics of west coast Mid Century Modern with Mexican contemporary architecture. Breeze Blocks are an ideal option for constructing breathable partitions and defining areas while still allowing light and air to flow between the spaces. Breeze Block walls should be stacked using masonry cement. The cement spacing will require a 1/2 inch joint between individual blocks. Install specifications are based on the height of wall and span between structural supports. Ex: Columns walls ceilings or floors.

INSTALLATION + MAINTENANCE
Check out our Glazed Clay Installation Guide for more information on installation.
Helpful Install Tips
Consider crack prevention membranes, water proofing, flexible thin sets and grout for your installation, every project is unique and might require additional materials than our installation guides suggest! We recommend having a tile professional review your specific product prior to installation!
Although Desert Fields tile does not require sealant for extra protection in wet areas and exterior usage, we recommend a top coat of Penetrating Sealant!
COLORATION
Due to the nature of natural materials, color variation can be prevalent. We rate each glaze color based on a variation rating system from V1(least)-V4 (most). Some batches have more color, sheen and texture variation than others.
- Interior walls, kitchen islands, entryways, fireplace surrounds and privacy walls.
- Outdoor applications, such as, patio walls, outdoor kitchens, shower walls and vent walls.

GROUT
TYPE We recommend Mapei Ultracolor Plus grout for most installations of glazed clay tiles.
JOINT We recommend between 1/8”-1/4" grout joint for rectified tiles, due to a natural variation in size. An additional deviation of ± 1/4" is considered acceptable for joint straightness and variation of flatness.
Although a tighter grout joint is achievable, we recommend consulting a skilled installation expert to increase the probability of a successful installation.
COLOR We recommend against high pigmented grout colors. High pigmented grout colors can stain the surface of glazed and unglazed tiles.
