Hand-pressed
cement tile,
since 1900.

Five generations of artisans pressing pigment, marble dust and Portland cement into floors that outlive the rooms they're laid in. In stock in Houston, made-to-order in León. The same hydraulic press your great-grandmother walked on.

§ 03 · How it's made

Four hands, one tile.

The Design Studio →
Step 01

Pigment, dust, cement.

Marble dust, white Portland and mineral pigment are sifted and mixed by hand in the morning. No two batches read identically — that's the point.

01
Step 02

Brass mold, hydraulic press.

The pattern is divided by a brass partition; the colorist pipettes pigment into each cell. One ton of hydraulic pressure compresses the face.

02
Step 03

Cure, water, cure again.

Twenty-eight days of slow cure. Wet, dry, wet again. The face surfaces as a 3mm layer of polished pigment, not glaze.

03
Step 04

Inspect, palletize, ship.

Each tile is hand-graded A/B/C. A-grade ships to spec, B-grade to in-stock, C-grade re-enters the press.
