Project Pick of the Month - Cement Tile Fireplace
Spruce up your fireplace just in time for the holidays! Using cement tile to surround a fireplace is a fantastic way to add visual appeal to your space. Colored and patterned tiles help create a dramatic focal point and can really pull the overall theme of a room together.

In this room, gray and white cement tiles in a gorgeous border pattern blend effortlessly with the marble hearth and mantle. Using a grayscale color palette, or any other monochromatic color scheme, creates a look that is understated, yet beautiful. Because no specific design element will stand out over another, all aspects of the space will work together to create a look that is seamless and cohesive.

Design Idea - Cement Tile as a Wall Application
Did you know that in addition to being a durable flooring solution, cement tiles can also be used on walls? Cement tiles, such as our Cuban Heritage line and others, look stunning as backsplashes and bath enclosures. They create beautiful fireplace surrounds, as shown here and above, and are perfect as accents and borders. Cement tiles are such a creative product! Even use them from floor level to chair rail height as a stunning alternative to beadboard or wallpaper.

Tile Tip
Our decorative tiles make unusual and distinctive gifts. Mix or match from several designs in each line and create a coaster set. Use larger tiles as trivets. Just add felt or cork protectors to the back of each tile.
