Fireclay Tile is a North American architectural tile manufacturer founded in 1986. The company handcrafts ceramic, brick and glass tile for interior and exterior projects, operating factories in California and Washington and selling across the United States. Its founder apprenticed in the craft at the age of ten, and the business retains a strong emphasis on craftsmanship and domestic manufacturing.
Fireclay's technical work centres on sustainable tile production. It processes recycled materials into its tile bodies, has been lead-free for more than 40 years, and engineers products for freeze-proof performance in both interior and exterior settings. Its ceramic tile uses a recycled clay body with a breaking strength of 393 lbs per foot, which the company states exceeds the average porcelain. Other product lines include handcrafted brick tile and glass tile for architectural projects.
The company is employee-owned and describes itself as the first tile company to earn B Corp certification, with a stated people-first philosophy and rigorous sustainability practices aimed at reducing environmental footprint. Fireclay Tile targets annual growth of 25-35%.
