Here's an example of how our Cuban Heritage cement tile was used on a kitchen backsplash where the backsplash became the focal point of the room.

Cuban Tiles are Cement Tiles

Cuban tiles, as seen in our Cuban Heritage Handmade Cement Tile collection, use bold, bright colors like salmon or indigo. Also prominent in Cuban tile is the use of double borders. This is a wonderful example of contemporary cement tile design.

Cuban Tile Design Tips

• Limit your choices to a few colors.
• Choose simple patterns that use just a few colors in a contemporary palette.
• The alternating patterns of the medallion and cross create a "checker board" pattern that works well in large rooms. Consider using a border if the room is symmetrical and fairly large. Otherwise, run the tile design to the edge of the room.
• Use a border at the edge of a room if you're installing the same pattern on vertical and horizontal surfaces to provide a transition.
• On simple geometric patterns, try "mismatching" dark and light colors on neighboring tile. This works well for high-contrast tiles.

Most importantly, keep in mind that this particular Cuban Heritage cement tile pattern uses two quarter designs that alternate. You can alternate the medallion and cross patterns as shown, or you could just use one for a smaller space.

Cement Tile Installation Tip

Lastly, each cement tile is individually handmade, therefore, slight variations in thickness, shade, imperfections and irregular edges are normal, and are to be expected. These characteristics add to the products natural appeal and do not compromise the performance of the tile. It is very important when installing to pull pieces at random from different boxes in order to achieve a better distribution and blending of the material.
