CEMENT TILES:

What is a cement tile?

Cement tiles are handmade tiles that have not been fired, but cures over a period of approx. 3 weeks. The method was invented around 1850 in the south of France, and had its heyday around Barcelona and the entire Mediterranean between 1920-30.
In recent years, handmade cement tiles have had a renaissance, and we are proud to be able to deliver a premium handmade product, both aesthetically and functionally.
Cement tiles are basically made of concrete, that is cold pressed in a steel mold under hard pressure. In addition to white cement, cement tiles consist of marble powder, color pigments and polyester fibers to reinforce the tiles. They harden in a steam room with stable and correct adapted humidity and heat – watch a video on the website that shows the manufacturing process.

Can cement tiles be installed in a kitchen?

Yes, you can install Cement tile on the walls and floor in the kitchen. We do not recommend light Cement tile colors such as Milk, Petal, Pistachio, etc. on the kitchen floor, since stains may be more visible on light colors.

Can cement tiles be installed in a bathroom?

Yes, cement tiles can be used on both wall and floor in bathrooms, but on the shower floor there may occur some accummulation of humidity in the tiles. This is perfectly normal and does not mean that the tiles are eroding. The humidity will dampen when the bath is dry again.
On the floor in the shower, there will be a large impact of lime, soaps and dirt, and therefore our instructions for cleaning must be followed carefully. It is not recommended to use acid-based cleaning agents such as e.g. Ajax, lime-remover, etc.
In wet areas, e.g. on the floor in the shower niche, we only recommend installing cement tiles if you appreciate the often somewhat rough patination, that can occur on the tiles around floor drain.

Are cement tiles suitable for outdoor installation?

Yes, Cement tile can be used outdoors on covered terraces, walls, greenhouses, stairs, etc. NOTE: It is not recommended to install Cement tile that are exposed to permanent water like fountains, ponds, pools or areas that are subjected to regular rain/weather.

Do you need to seal cement tiles?

Yes, Cement tile need to be sealed and waxed – see the instructions under “Guides” in the menu.

Do you stock cement tiles for immediately delivery?

Yes, we do. We have more than 3000 m2 of cement tiles in stock in our warehouse in Copenhagen. It is marked as “In stock” on the website.

Can you order special colors or formats of cement tiles?

Yes, but it depends on the type and size of the project. For larger projects it is possible to make nearly any Pantone color, and special formats with a maximum size of 30×30 cm. Please inquire at info@marokk.dk for more info.

Do cement tiles stain easy?

No, not if the tile are properly sealed and waxed according to our guidelines. While it is possible for stains to appear, regular cleaning and maintenance of the tile will keep it looking great. Grease and color stains will most often get caught in the top wax layer, and are removed by dissolving the wax and performing a scrubbing on the stain using an approved stain remover. In general, we do not recommend using bright or light colors such as Milk, Fog, Pistachio, Petal, etc. in the most exposed areas, like a floor in the shower or the kitchen.

Grouting - how to choose color and width

Grouting is one of the most important aesthetic details when tiling. We generally recommend a narrow joint width (typically 1-2 mm). Or a completely tight joint, so-called crunch joint, to let the tile’s expression and materiality stand out the most. For floor heating installations the width of the joint width must be at least 2 mm to allow for heat expansion. We recommend using a grout color that is slightly lighter or similar to the color tone of the tile. This gives a beautiful uniform look to the installation. We have a large selection of grout colors under “Accessories” on the website.

Will your tile work with in-floor heating?

Yes, all our tile can be installed over in-floor heating. For floor heating nstallations you must maintain a 2mm joint width to allow for heat expansion.

Is it easier to maintain glazed tile like Lava, Zellij and Japanese tile, than Cement tile?

No, that cannot be said unequivocally. But they are different, and you should expect different results. Cement tile will develop a natural patina and become more beautiful over time. Lava and Zellij tile are fired and will therefore not change appearance. Because Cement tile are cast and cured like concrete, and therefore not kiln fired, they will get a patina. Cement tile will fade over time in color (approx. 10% over 5-10 years), and they will get a few scratches and stains, but the vast majority of stains can be removed again with Borup Rengøring til Marmor og Terrazzo. In many ways, the patination of Cement tile can be compared to wood floors, which also get scratches and stains during its lifetime, but can be refreshed and reprocessed when the floor needs it. Like a beautifully aged wooden floor, Cement tile look better and better over time, provided they are installed and maintained properly.
