Equipe Raku Series Ceramic Tile — Handcrafted Raku Glazed Ceramics

The Equipe Raku Series ceramic tile blends artisanal character with everyday performance. Inspired by traditional raku glazing techniques, these tiles offer subtle color variation, a soft lustrous finish, and a slightly irregular surface that reads handmade. Ideal for kitchen backsplashes, shower walls, and decorative accents, Raku tiles bring an organic, warm presence to both modern and classic interiors.

Why Choose Equipe Raku Ceramic Tile?

Raku ceramic tiles are prized for their aesthetic depth and practical benefits. Key reasons designers and homeowners favor the Equipe Raku Series include:

  • Artisan look: Natural glaze variation and mild surface texture give each tile unique personality.
  • Versatile applications: Perfect for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, fireplace surrounds, and feature bands.
  • Durable ceramic body: Easy to clean, resistant to everyday wear, and suitable for vertical surfaces.
  • Range of finishes: Available in soft neutrals and richer tones to suit rustic, boho, or contemporary schemes.

Design Tips & Popular Installations

Use Equipe Raku tiles to introduce warmth and texture without overwhelming a space. Popular approaches include:

  • Subway layouts: Classic 2.5" x 8" elongated formats in a stacked or brick pattern for timeless backsplashes.
  • Vertical stacks: Install tiles vertically behind a range hood or vanity to emphasize height and light reflection.
  • Mixed tones: Combine two complementary Raku shades for a subtle ombré or checker effect.
  • Feature strips: Use Raku as an accent band within larger stone or porcelain fields to add handcrafted detail.

Care, Installation & Performance

Equipe Raku Series tiles are ceramic and perform well in wet and indoor environments. For best results:

  • Use a porcelain/ceramic-compatible thinset and follow manufacturer trowel recommendations.
  • Choose grout to either highlight the handmade edge or blend for a seamless look.
  • Wipe glazed surfaces with a pH-neutral cleaner to preserve the finish; avoid harsh acids or abrasive pads.
