Brooklyn Brownstone Renovation – Custom Cement Tile

Posted on November 26, 2013 by Cement Tile Shop

When a Brooklyn couple were renovating their brownstone home, they wanted to do something a little splashy in the entry while still keeping with the overall feel of the house.

The homeowners looked through dozens of available flooring options, but couldn’t find exactly what they were looking for. Because of the small entry space they wanted tile that would work in a small pattern and also desired an option that would allow them to select their own color choices. Our cement tile designs and colors can be custom ordered in many colors and patterns. This turned out to be a great option.

Along with their architect Ben Herzog and contractor Frank Naccarato, the homeowners selected our Jerez handmade cement tile pattern in 4″ x 4″ tiles. They also selected a custom color combination. The smaller tiles allowed them to show more of the pattern in their small space. We think you’ll agree that the finished space is stunning!

The couple’s brownstone renovation is chronicled on the blog www.wandernesting.com.

Leader Builders in Bend, Oregon used our handmade cement tile in an amazing Mid-Century Modern project.

Our Dubois cement tile pattern was used beautifully in the kitchen backsplash to continue the mid-century design from the living area through to the kitchen and tie the entire space together.

The tile used in this project was 8″ x 8″, but our tiles can be customized in many sizes and colors. Please contact Cement Tile Shop at (800) 704-2701 to incorporate cement tile into your backsplash or for more information.

Cement Tile – A San Francisco Treat

Posted on October 29, 2013 by Cement Tile Shop

Regan Baker Design is a full-service interior design and styling company in the San Francisco Bay area. They transform ordinary homes into spaces that reflect your personality and lifestyle.

Recently, the designers used our cement tile in two gorgeous San Francisco projects.

One of our favorite patterns, Moorish, was used in a Duboce Park home transformation for stylish brewery owners. The home was designed as an organic modern oasis reflecting a modern aesthetic and sustainable, green conscience lifestyle.

Cement tile is a green, environmentally friendly flooring product, created using basic earth components and a centuries old method. The tiles are colored with natural pigments and do not give off any fumes at all. Minimum energy, except human ‘elbow grease’, is used to make our cement tiles. Cement tiles are completely handmade and never have to be fired in a kiln, which means that the amount of energy used in the manufacturing process is very low. Because no firing is required, no pollution creating fossil fuels are used in the production of the tile. The process does not use any harsh chemicals that might affect the environment.

Our cement tile was also used by Regan Baker Design for a new en-suite master bathroom in a remodel in Noe Valley Beach. The designers used the geometric Liverpool II tile pattern in the Victorian home to add color and visual interest to the space.

Quality Italian – New York City

Posted on October 19, 2013 by Cement Tile Shop

We were thrilled that our cement and terrazzo tiles were chosen for the recently opened Quality Italian in New York City. Quality Italian was designed by the award winning design firm AvroKO, renowned for designing some of the world’s finest restaurants. It is the latest restaurant from the acclaimed restaurant group, Fourth Wall Restaurants.

Quality Italian is a modern interpretation of the Italian-American Steakhouse. Overseen by Executive Chef Scott Tacinelli, the kitchen riffs playfully off of classic steakhouse fare creating a variety of modern interpretations with Italian accents. The 200 seat restaurant references the Butcher’s Guilds of Italy, responsible for the quality control and production of the finest cuts of meat.

Fourth Wall Restaurants was founded by father‑son restaurateurs Alan and Michael Stillman in 2007. The group is comprised of upscale restaurants in New York City, including the flagship Smith & Wollensky location, Maloney & Porcelli, Park Avenue, The Post House, Quality Meats, and The Hurricane Steak & Sushi.

Or handmade terrazzo tile, Toulouse Red, was used as a distinguishing feature throughout the restaurant.

The downstairs, open to the street, features a bar and shop called Standing Room. The floor of this space uses our Colonial Doble cement tile pattern in custom colors to provide a welcoming entry.

Cement Tile Shop wishes the restaurant much success in the future and we can’t wait to get to New York for an amazing meal!
