Solid Color Cement Tiles Make Great Flooring

Are you timid about using the colorful stylistic designs and bold patterns found in cement tiles? You might consider using solid color cement tiles or "field tiles". Avente offers over 90 colors in its existing palette. Custom colors can be created too! Cement tiles in solid colors make great flooring designs.

Here are few great ideas to help:

1. Use a single color throughout, the slight variation in shade from a handcrafted tile adds subtle sophistication.

   

2. Create a checkerboard using high contrast colors that create a bold effect. Run the pattern wall-to-wall or frame it with a border in the center of the room.

   

3. Frame a solid color field with a decorative border; keeping the design simple but not over-powering.

   

4. Create a border using a single row of tiles around a solid color field tile "on point." Trim everything outside the border with the same color you used inside the border or add a third color to the scheme. Here a decorative border was used; but, you get the idea!

Minimize the Grout Line on Cement Tiles

Use a very narrow grout line when installing cement tiles. The April 2008 issue of Domino Magazine featured our Cuban Heritage Cement Tiles in Renovator's Notebook. The article explains that you should place cement tiles as close together as possible to create a very thin grout line. Minimizing the grout line will make the design look seamless and your space look larger.

When calculating the tiles required, don't include the width of the grout line to achieve a better estimate, especially on very large projects.

Eco-friendly cement tiles in bold hues are a great way to add color to a room with white walls. The tile featured in this article, Cuban Heritage Design CH100, is available in three colorways! Or, you can customize the colors!

Two Deer Murals with an Arts & Craft Feel

These unique tile deer murals have an "Arts & Craft" period feel. The murals are created on a terra cotta floor tile also referred to as Metropolitan Quarry. Each tile is hand-painted with a resist design and covered with differed hand-mixed glazes. During firing, the resist burns off and the colors separate. The result is stunning and leaves a slight relief on each tile. Each tile is created using renewable energy power.

Three new fruit-and-vegetable-themed murals are available. Completed in relief, these handcrafted murals display exquisite attention to detail. These murals, made in the United States by an artisan that understands the craft of tile making, show the importance of detail learned through painting.

The murals come in a matte finish and perfectly pair with natural stone like travertine or granite. The intricate details create artwork that is timely, lasting, beautiful and functional.

Use Different Decorative Tiles on a Stair Riser

Use different decorative tiles on a staircase. You don't have to use the same tile for all the risers. You can even use different designs on the same riser. Try various, complementary designs and patterns until you find one that works well. See how creative you can be!

Different Tile Designs on the Same Stair Riser

Consider using:

• A different pattern on each row. For instance, one row is Caceres; the other Cadiz.
• A few designs and alternating them on each row.
• Different designs on the same riser. Teruel, Alcala, and Andalucia look great next to each another on the same row.
• Two rows of 3"x6" tiles instead of a single row of 6"x6.
• Cement tiles for the stair riser, instead of decorative tiles. You can customize the colors and designs.
• Include a vertical or horizontal "spacer row" that utilizes a 2"x2" of the same design.

Our slide show of stair riser installations displays some of these great ideas.
