Cement tiles are said to have first appeared since the 19th century and used extensively in France, the look and style then spread to the rest of Europe and the Americas. The Encaustic Cement tile is evident in thousands of landmark public buildings, homes and palaces around the world. Artisan Eco tiles are made in the traditional method, by hand one at a time using natural mineral pigments to give a authentic look. The pigmented colours are manually applied one by one in a handmade copper mould. The final Encaustic thickness is around 3mm over a strong cement base.
Reflecting the traditional style and authentic look, Artisan Eco Encaustic tiles will feature slight imperfections which provides the tiles unique character and the desired true vintage look.
Artisan Eco Encaustic Cement tiles should be sealed for easy care and maintenance.
