Arabesque Tiles

Hydraulic pressed, handmade cement tiles with a color layer of 1/8" thickness adhered to body of the tile using 1800 PSI. Composed of Portland cement, marble dust, and mineral pigments.

Test Results:

Wet Dynamic Coefficient of Friction (DCOF) - ANSI A137.1 (2012) Section 9.6.1: 0.62

Water Absorption - TCVN 6355 (1998) Section 3: 9.7%

Breaking Bending Load - TCVN 6065 (1995) Section 5.6: 1.18 kN

Relative Resistance to Deep Abrasive Wear - ASTM C1243-93 (2009): 222.6 mm3

Sealing: Cement tiles must be sealed with a penetrating sealer to avoid any damage and/or staining

Freeze/Thaw Resistance: Untreated cement tiles are not resistant to freeze/thaw cycles and must be treated with a penetrating sealer

Acid Resistance: Cement tiles are not acid resistant and must be cleaned with pH neutral cleaners

Use in Wet Areas: Cement tiles can be used in almost all wet areas, except inside pools
