fireclaytile.com Sustainably Designed and Made In California
A Note from Paul, Our Founder and Chief Ceramicist
W
hen I founded Fireclay Tile over 25 years ago, I never imagined being where we are today. With a team of 30 employees across two factories manufacturing 5 different products, I couldn’t be more pleased with what our team has created. Our goal when we started was simple: make beautiful tile for customers, the way they want, when they want. Since then we have evolved to take a much more sustainable approach to our products and our operations. Now 15 years after making that decision we are a recognized leader in sustainable tile manufacturing. Today we continue our pursuit with our launch of Crush 100% Recycled Glass Tile. Like our Debris Series Recycled Tile that’s been on the market for 15 years, Crush is both beautiful and eco-friendly, and each order is custom made just like everything we produce. We have come a long way as a business, and we appreciate the tremendous loyalty and dedication of our customers. With your support, we have innovated and have continued to push the boundaries of what is possible with tile.
Our Products
We look forward to continuing to serve your tile and surfacing needs, and hope you will consider us for your next project. If you ever have feedback or questions, please reach out via email, info@fireclaytile.com or phone, 408-275-1182. A friendly ceramicist will always be there to help!

HANDMADE IN AMERICA We hand make our artisan tiles in our two Northern California factories where we can quickly produce materials to fit any job specification. When you buy from Fireclay you are actively supporting your local environment and community. Our factories aim to be sustainable and we always use locally sourced recycled materials to make our recycled tile lines. Many of our factory employees have worked at Fireclay for over 15 years, and our employees are paid a fair living wage with benefits.
ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS We are scavengers at heart, and take pleasure in transforming waste into the most beautiful tile products sold. We first started incorporating recycled materials into our products in the ‘90s long before others dared. Today, our Debris Series and Crush (shown below) tiles are the most sustainable, economical options available.
