Cement tile go by many names. They are made of concrete and called cement tiles to distinguish them from ceramic tiles. Cement Tiles are also commonly called Hydraulic Tiles which describes the manufacturing process--each tile is hydraulically pressed under high-pressure.

Handcraft Cement Tiles are also called Cuban Tiles (in Florida); Mosaicos Hidraulicos, Ladrilhos Hidraulicos, Baldosas Hidraulicas in Spanish speaking nations; Carreaux de Ciment or carrelages du ciment (in France and Belgium). Less common names include Portuguese tegels, Barcelona Tile (because they were used by Gaudi in his home city by the same name), Redondo Tile and Mission Tile.

Cement tiles are often mistakenly called Encaustic Tiles or Encaustic Cement Tiles. Encaustic tiles are created with an inlaid pattern of two or more different colors of clay and are more correctly called inlaid tiles.
