Cement Tile Design Ideas — Decorative/Patterned

When a customer requests a special size for their handmade cement tiles, we are more than happy to assist in meeting their design needs and special requests. In this case, the customer needed an 8"x8" tile size of the Gran Cordoba Cement Tile pattern for their residential hall and bath. Because this pattern is only available in a 10"x10" format, the cement tile factory created a custom 8"x8" mold.

The bright red and white geometric pattern adds interest and balance to the clean lines and white colors of the mid-century inspired design.
