Located in Canton, Ohio, Ironrock is a leading US manufacturer of indoor/outdoor unglazed quarry tile. Ironrock introduced the Down to Earth product line through it’s Metropolitan Ceramics brand in 2006.

With the continued emphasis on enhanced outdoor living spaces, Metropolitan Ceramics is now updating all Down to Earth marketing materials and promoting Down to Earth as the tile of choice for demanding outdoor tile installations.

Down to Earth is a textured, unglazed ‘paving’ tile line featuring kiln fired shading and distinctive size options. Down to Earth fits both traditional and contemporary design concepts and the tiles are particularly appealing with the move toward more natural elements in design. With its extremely long life cycle, use of natural elements, efficient manufacturing process and recyclable-ness, Down to Earth also meets the desire for more environmentally friendly ‘green’ building materials.

Down to Earth is available in three sizes-traditional 4” x 8”, 6” x 9” and 4” x 12”. Each size has its own unique texturing. Four earth tone colors are available for all sizes in the line.

Down to Earth is a 1/2” thick ceramic tile and must be installed on a cement slab or similar substrate using standard tile setting methods. Down to Earth is recommended for outdoor areas exposed to extreme climate changes, moisture and heavy foot traffic. Walkways, pool surrounds, and cement slab patios are examples of outdoor areas that can be greatly enhanced with the Down to Earth paving tile product.
