Villa Lagoon Tile's cement tiles are hand-crafted by master artisans using a process over 150 years old. The low-energy non-fired decorative tiles are produced from cement, mineral pigments, ground marble dust, and sand, then pressed and cured to produce one of the most beautiful surfaces on the market. The hand-made nature of cement tile means that no two tiles are alike, with color and pattern variations that give it a beauty similar to natural stone and hardwood surfaces. With proper sealant and care, cement tile makes a great durable surface for residential or commercial floors, walls, and creative uses indoors and outdoors.
Note: Cement tiles need to be sealed once or twice, before grouting and general usage.
This tile is really beautiful and of great quality. Out of 8 boxes purchased, only one tile was chipped out of the box which I thought was amazing. My only complaint is that the tiles are VERY porous and easily stained and scuffed. It is a matte finish cement tile which we hadn't worked with before. It generated a ton of dust when cut. The wet saw used more water than usual with this tile and the dust turned to mud. We installed it in a bathroom and decided to seal it right away because as I mentioned, it stains easily. I can't imagine putting this tile in a kitchen as shown online due to the porous factor. Despite the easy stain and scuff issues, we do love the end result. We also installed the Newtown "60 Double Vanity in white and they look great together!. Kelly. VA. Mon Jan 04 2021
