The History of Cement Tiles
Cement dates back to mid-nineteenth-century France and Spain. They became known for their creative patterns and vivid colors, forming a canvas on which art could be functional as well as beautiful. Artisans carefully crafted each pattern using special pigments and a metal mold. Particularly commonplace in the Mediterranean, they were decorated in traditional local patterns.
Since the nineteenth century, they remained a popular accent in European interior design, valued for both their aesthetic quality and practicality. In the early twentieth century, cement with Avant-garde designs and patterns was favored. They adorned some of the world's most iconic places, including Russian palaces.
Recently, these tiles have become more popular in the US, for good reason.
