Cement Tile

Cement tile is an artisanal tile with colorful geometric or floral patterns. It has been a timeless classic since the 19th century.

You can use cement tile on the floor in the kitchen, entrance, or bathroom. You can also create a tile rug in the middle of a parquet floor for a dramatic effect.

One pitfall to avoid is unsealed cement tile that stains easily. Apply a water-repellent treatment before use and maintain it with black soap.

Cement tile offers many decorative advantages. It adds character, personality, and a chic retro touch to your interiors. Its colorful and varied patterns allow you to create unique and trendy floors.

Maintaining cement tile requires some precautions. You should clean it regularly with a suitable cleaning product, without using abrasive products that could damage the surface. Sealing and waterproofing treatment may also be necessary to facilitate cleaning and preserve the appearance of the tile.

Unlike traditional ceramic tile, cement tile is handmade, giving it a unique look and more irregular patterns. It is also thicker and more porous, requiring specific installation and maintenance.

Cement tile is perfect for covering the floors of rooms such as the kitchen, bathroom, hallway, or even the conservatory. Its durable appearance and authentic finish blend particularly well with these living spaces.

When laying cement tile, you must be careful. Make sure you have a perfectly flat and stable surface, and use a suitable tile adhesive. Also, plan for a joint of about 3 mm between each tile to allow for dimensional variations of the material.
