Since then, 40 years have passed. Over the years we have gained experience, managed a large number of projects and learned so much, particularly in terms of \u2018know-how\u2019 in terms of making outdoor flooring that will last forever.<\/p>\n<h2>We guarantee our outdoor terracotta floors as being: freeze-proof, anti-slip, and vehicle-proof.<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>We use high quality clay to make our tiles. Naturally, not all clays are the same. Each clay has elements that determine not only its aesthetic, but also its mechanical resistance and flexibility. For years, we have conducted innumerable tests on various clays (from Umbria, Marche, Emiliano) and we have concluded conclusively that Tuscan clay meets our high standards. Moreover, by leaving the clay to dry naturally after it has been extracted, it garners more strength before it is fired.\n<div id=\"attachment_1012\" style=\"width: 3130px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1012\" class=\"wp-image-1012 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/fornacecottoantico.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_20170526_150856_1.jpg\" alt=\"cotto per esterni\" width=\"3120\" height=\"4160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fornacecottoantico.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_20170526_150856_1.jpg 3120w, https:\/\/fornacecottoantico.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_20170526_150856_1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/fornacecottoantico.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_20170526_150856_1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fornacecottoantico.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_20170526_150856_1-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/fornacecottoantico.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_20170526_150856_1-350x467.jpg 350w, https:\/\/fornacecottoantico.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_20170526_150856_1-900x1200.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3120px) 100vw, 3120px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1012\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A cottage at the Porte di Roma with our Rose Terracotta outdoor flooring.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>FIRING TEMPERATURE: Not all clays need to be baked at the same temperature. A terracotta product made with Umbrian clay cannot be fired over 1000\u00b0C, whereas Tuscan terracotta needs to be fired at 1022\u00b0C, due to its high iron content.
