Commercial Cement Tile Floors

The use of cement tile in high-traffic areas is quite common throughout Europe and South America where it can be seen on the floors, walls, and steps of centuries-old churches, homes and businesses.

Cement tiles have withstood centuries of wear -- an important factor for commercial floors. Its strength lies in its beauty, its skid-resistance, and most notably, its ability to age gracefully since the manufacturing process dictates for the color to be about 1/8"-thick. You can see how cement tile in a Las Vegas cigar shop graces the floors and walls of this commercial establishment, as well as adding style to this resort's high-traffic foyer.
