Fireplace Remodel – San Antonio, TX

Posted on by

Sometimes, a little cement tile can go a long way!

These great pictures were sent to us by customers in Texas who were thrilled with how the custom handmade cement tile they chose really transformed the look of their fireplace hearth. They wanted to make the fireplace a beautiful feature in their living room that matched the charm of the rest of the room.

The old quarry tile was removed and replaced with a custom version of our Moorish Pattern. The customers loved the fact that they could change the colors to meet their needs. All of our tiles can be customized in the colors of your choice to match your decor or design idea.

Custom Laundry Room – Wichita, KS

Posted on by

Did you know that any of our handmade cement tile patterns can be customized?

Our cement tiles can be made in any colors of your choice. We can even help you create a custom pattern or an entirely new design. Although we offer many “in stock” tiles that are ready to ship, if you have a little time and imagination we can make the perfect tile for you!

Lead times for custom tiles can vary between 8-12 weeks, depending on your quantity and design.

The photos below are a great example of a custom cement tile. Our customers in Derby, KS (just outside of Wichita) wanted the perfect color scheme for their home and decided to create a custom version of our Roseton pattern.

Each cement tile on our website has a link to a color chart showing available color choices. This client used warm tones of grey and white to perfectly compliment their wall paint color and cabinets.

Who says laundry rooms need to be boring. We think you’ll agree that they made a great choice!

We can help you create a custom flooring masterpiece for your home or commercial project.

Jsix Restaurant & Lounge – San Diego, CA

Posted on by

Lombardi Contracting of San Diego recently completed an intensive remodel of the Jsix Restaurant & Lounge. The inviting restaurant and rooftop bar is in the Gaslamp District, located in the southwest corner of Hotel Solamar.

Jsix used our Sofia cement tile pattern as the floor of the loft area and as the focal point of the bar.

With the refresh, the layout of the space has changed. The dining room has become smaller, and more intimate, while the popular bar has doubled in size. Jsix also made use of re-purposed wood and distressed metal — a nod to East Village’s industrial past.

Jsix features innovative seasonal, regional cuisine with a focus on fresh, locally grown produce and sustainable meats. The restaurant favors artisanal production, cures its own meats, infuse its own spirits and even has a herb garden on its rooftop!

We think you’ll agree that the new look, featuring our handmade cement tile, will be a big hit!

The Sofia cement tile pattern is in-stock and ready to ship!

Cement Tile – Modified Patchwork Pattern

Posted on by

Our always popular patchwork pattern is a mix of our in-stock patterned and solid handmade cement tiles. This random installation can take on many variations as no two floors or walls will ever look the same. There is always a different tile or beautiful design to catch the eye.

Lately some of our clients have been taking matters into their own hands and picking exactly the patterns and colors they want in their patchwork to create their own beautiful spaces. Instead of ordering pre-shuffled boxes of random tiles, they are ordering full boxes of their favorite patterns and colors and shuffling on site.

Here are some great examples we have recently received from our clients.

The patchwork look works well in both modern and traditional spaces, and can be used on both walls and floors.

Let us know if we can assist you in creating your own patchwork cement tile masterpiece!

Laundry Room Delight – Dallas, TX

Posted on by

Sometimes we receive amazing photos from customers using our handmade cement tile that make you say wow!

Laundry rooms, utility rooms and mudrooms are often a place to do laundry and hang up your dirty boots. They are typically devoid of any character and personality as we look to spend as little time in the rooms as possible.

Our clients in Dallas, TX shared these great pictures that show what is possible in these small spaces with a little imagination. We would have no problem doing laundry if our room looked like this!

Our in-stock Sevilla Gold cement tile pattern was used as a feature wall surrounding the window and wash sink to create great visual interest in the space.

Custom Kitchen Backsplash – Berkeley, CA

Posted on by

Lane McNab of Urban Orchard Interiors in Berekeley, CA loves to create beautiful and functional spaces that have a sense of authenticity, meaning and character to the people living there as well as the home itself. Lane was kind enough to share pictures from a recent installation of some of our handmade cement tiles.

The craftsman house involved in the project is over 100 years old. It’s a brown shingle craftsman very typical of the local homes and the owners are bringing it back to life little by little. The owners are both wonderful cooks (she’s French so of course!) and spend a lot of time in their well-used kitchen. The home was updated sometime in the 80’s and was ready for a serious face-lift. The clients wanted to incorporate a French/Moroccan style with the architectural elements of a craftsman. We think they succeeded!

Urban Orchard used our Algeria cement tile pattern, in custom colors, to create a beautiful backsplash in the kitchen. A doorway and closet were moved to make the stove and cement tile the kitchen’s focal point as you enter the room.

We’d like to thank Urban Orchard for the pictures. Please check out their blog!
