Moroccan Tile from Avente

Tweet

Moroccan cement flooring tiles are a long-lasting, decorative flooring option for both indoor and outdoor spaces. They are extremely durable, lending themselves well to high traffic areas such as entryways, hallways, kitchens and living rooms. Avente has a completely customizable line of these tiles as well as custom color matching and custom designs. Please contact us with your specific design requirements and we can help you find a tile to fit your needs.

How They Are Made
Made up of three layers, dense Moroccan tiles measure just under an inch and are very heavy. The uppermost layer is created by placing a sectioned die at the bottom of a mold and pouring a color cement mixture made from marble powder, white Portland cement, and mineral based pigments into each corresponding section of the die. This creates the decorative layer of the tile. The middle layer is composed of grey Portland cement and fine sand and creates a strong adhesive between the color layer and the main body of the tile. The bottom layer is made from fine and regular cement, sand and limestone powder and creates the porous tile body which allows for the tile to adhere well to the surface to be tiled.

Once the three layers have been poured, 2 tons of hydraulic pressure is applied to the Moroccan tiles, pressing them into shape and creating their dense, durable body. The tile is then cured underwater to ensure proper hardening.
