Raku Tiling by Walls and Floors

‘Raku firing’ is a Japanese technique that dates back to the 1550s! It uses all of the Earth’s elements – fire, wind, earth and air. The process creates an incredible glaze on ceramic, which varies in tone and texture each time. When applied to tiles, this creates a beautiful bespoke variety across a wall space.

Tile company Walls and Floors has just released their new Raku collection. Inspired by this treasured traditional technique, it perfectly captures the tonal variation, the texture, and the crazing for which Raku firing is famous. The collection has 7 fabulous colourways to choose from. This allows homeowners to bring this masterful Japanese look into any interior.

Durable and long-lasting

Each of the seven colourways offers 6 different hues and 35 different designs, which ensures an incredible variety of textures and tones.

Made from ceramic, these tiles are durable and long-lasting. They are a sturdy wipe-clean option that will keep wall spaces looking fresh and interesting for years to come. They can be fixed either horizontally or vertically.
