Terracotta simply means 'baked clay' and it is the production process that transforms one of nature's most basic elements into a product which is rich and warm in appearance.
Found in some of the oldest mountain regions of Africa, China and India, the wide choice of slates allows any color scheme to be complemented. Its versatility and non-slip qualities enable the product to be used almost anywhere although, due to its hardwearing surface, it is particularly suitable for those areas subject to heavy traffic.
There are three categories of stone - sedimentary (limestone and sandstone), metamorphic (marble and quartzite) and igneous (granite). All impart particular characteristics to the space in which they are used.

Generally rectangular in shape, Connecticut extends c.90 mi (145 km) from east to west and c.55 mi (90 km) from north to south. The state is divided into two roughly equal sections, usually called the eastern highland and the western highland, which are separated by the Connecticut Valley lowland. The Connecticut River, which flows through only the northern half of this lowland, veers off to the southeast at Middletown in central Connecticut. In the south along Long Island Sound is a low, rolling coastal plain. The western highland, with the Taconic Mts. and the Litchfield Hills, is more rugged than the eastern highland. The Connecticut shore is a popular summer resort area, and the protected waters of Long Island Sound lure boating enthusiasts.
