HEXAGON

The second most used after square is hexagonal cement tile. This is a shape from nature often seen in the shape of a honeycomb, a bubble, etc. In terms of some spirit, the hexagon also has many meanings such as strong attachment, solidity and determination. This shape is exploited by architects and designers to create new and beautiful interior decorations by creating wall and floor tiles in a combination of traditional patterns or improvisational, creative.

OCTAGON

Octagonal cement tiles have appeared since ancient times in ancient works. With the 8-sided design, the octagonal tiles when put together need to be used together with small square tile for the gaps.

The skirting board is an important application for encaustic cement tile floors. The skirting board has many different designs: beveled, round edge, curved edge, straight edge skirting board, etc. The skirting board are usually calculated in meters long (instead of square meters like other tiles).

FISH SCALE

Fish scales have returned in many designs in recent years. Fish scale tiles give the space a natural beauty with the association of water and the blue sea. Perhaps that is why fish scale tiles are often used in wall applications, bathroom flooring or relaxing spaces.

The standard size of fish scale tile is 200x200mm, one square meter needs 50 pieces. Besides, there are also smaller sizes to fit more spaces.

The rhombus is really an innovation for cement tiles. The irresistible beauty of handmade tile makes designers desire to show the combination of tradition and modernity in many impressive living spaces.

 

 

TRIANGLE

Similar to the rhombus shape, the triangle is also a modern feature integrated into the encaustic cement tiles. The geometric shape with strong, square design lines make the tiles bring a very new beauty.

LONG HEXAGON

It is also a hexagon, but when resized, the long hexagon gives a completely different impression than the traditional hexagon tile. Larger tiles, simpler color combinations give designers a fresher alternative to modern design works.
