Mandaatiles

Mandaatiles are a type of tile used in the construction of buildings, particularly in the Netherlands. They are characterized by their distinctive, interlocking design, which allows for a seamless and watertight finish. Mandaatiles are typically made from terracotta, a type of clay that is fired at high temperatures, giving the tiles a durable and attractive appearance. The interlocking nature of mandaatiles makes them ideal for use in areas prone to water damage, such as bathrooms and kitchens. They are also commonly used in the construction of historic buildings, where their traditional aesthetic is highly valued. The production of mandaatiles involves a process of shaping, drying, and firing the clay, followed by the application of a glaze to enhance their color and finish. The tiles are then cut to size and ready for installation. Mandaatiles are available in a variety of colors and patterns, allowing for a high degree of customization in the design of a building's exterior or interior.
