Cement Tile Design Ideas — Flooring

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.
