Born in a French village over one hundred years ago. The traditional cement encaustic tile was made by hand with great attention to detail. A fine metal mould is made from sheet metal of the design; then colour pigment is mixed with liquid concrete.
Then each colour is then poured with the utmost precision into the sheet metal template over the dry powder concrete tile. The tile is then pressed in a 100-ton press to meld the colour and cement as one. The tile is then immersed in water and then left to cure fully. Not much has changed since then, except the coloured dyes come from Germany, which lasts longer under extreme weather conditions, more so than the traditional pigments.
The designs are endless; traditional French and Spanish designs and contemporary mid-century are favourites.
There is now also a terrazzo cement tile adding an extra dimension to the handmade artistry of the tile which is very popular. Ideal for Bathrooms, kitchens, living areas and veranda floors. There are many imposters which produce ceramic versions, massed produced, but the educated eye appreciates the intricacies of handmade and the authentic feel and look of the original cement encaustic tile.
Still original and still the best.
