What is handmade Cement tile?

And what's so great about it?

What’s so special about handmade Cement tile? A lot. Our cement tiles are created with three layers that are visibly seen in a cross-section view of the tile. They’re absolutely one-of-a-kind. Just like your home. Check out our Cement Tile FAQs.

The First Layer: The wear layer, also called the concrete tile face, is a mixture of highly resistant Portland white cement, powdered white marble, and natural pigments. Wear resistance, color and brightness rely on the quality of this layer. The finished encaustic tile has a natural finish surface and these hand-crafted floor tiles can be sealed or polished.

The Second Layer: This is a mortar made of fine sand and high-quality Portland cement. For tile manufacturing, this mortar is applied as a base and reinforces the first layer. It provides the ability to withstand compression loads.

The Third Layer: This final layer is a porous mixture with the required thickness for impact strength before and after installation.

It takes an expert to get the process right. Our Cement tiles are made using mixtures rich in quality cement and are then hydraulically pressed. A thorough curing process is also implemented to fortify the cement floor tile. A good-quality concrete tile should be compact and waterproof. In the hands of our craftsmen, your Cement tiles will be stunning and hardworking wherever they’re used.

Rustico Tile and Stone Cement tiles are an excellent choice for both residential and commercial applications, such as: hand-crafted tile flooring, wall tile, stair tile, backsplash tile, ceiling tile, countertop tile,  swimming pool tile and pool decking tile, and fountain tile. They can be used indoors and outdoors. Cement tiles lend themselves to architectural styles such as Spanish Colonial, Santa Fe, Moorish, Minimalist, Contemporary, Rustic, and Mediterranean.

How is Cement Tile made?

It’s a labor of love. Colors are first prepared according to the customer’s order specifications. Each encaustic tile is made individually, and slight color variations can occur. This is an inherent characteristic of cement tiles, as it is made with natural materials.

The divider is set into the mold. This is what will separate the colors to create the surface of the concrete tile. Each color is poured into its specific section of the divider. Once each color section is filled, the divider is removed, and a mixture of fine sand and Portland cement is applied. This is the second layer and is used as a drier to reinforce the first layer of the cement tile.

Next, a porous mixture made of sand and Portland cement is applied. This is the third layer. The hand-crafted cement tiles are hydraulically pressed to give the encaustic tiles their hardness. Some cement tiles sold by other companies may just be hand-pressed, which results in a much weaker strength tile.

Finally, the cement tiles are cured in submersed water for a 24-hour period. This finishes the hardening process. Once completed, the floor tiles are moved to a solarium to dry for another 24 hours.

After each piece is individually inspected for quality, the tiles are packaged and shipped in pallets. Recommended overage for waste, cuts, and borders is 15%.

NOTE: This is a hand-made, rustic cement tile. With cement tile of this nature, there will be color and texture variations from piece to piece. Color shading can vary even on a single tile. Chips or texture variations may exist. This is normal and not considered a defect for handmade tiles. We highly recommend ordering all cement tiles needed for a project at the same time, as subsequent orders can come in with shade variations. Samples of colors ordered can vary from actual shading or product received in a final order placed. The average lead time for most cement tile orders is approximately 4-8 weeks. Please inquire about current lead times prior to ordering.
