Absolutely! In fact, one of the most popular applications of our tiles is in the shower! Our tiles pass the DCOF slip-resistance test and are great for both residential and commercial applications. The only application not recommended is inside a swimming pool.
Please note, any of our tiles with metal inserts (brass, copper, aluminum) may slightly tarnish in wet areas but are still equally suitable and can easily be cleaned
Yes! Our cement tiles are perfectly safe over heated floors.
Yes! When properly sealed, LiLi cement tiles can be installed almost anywhere - except inside a swimming pool or water line. However, they’re perfectly suitable for pool surrounds, outdoor decks, outdoor showers, walkways, and even pavements (with proper foundations). As with all installations, we strongly urge using Zeus' Tile Sealer to prevent stains and discoloration.
Please note, bright colors like blues and reds can be prone to fading if installed under direct sunlight.
Most in-stock orders ship next business day from our NJ warehouse.
Since our tiles are not baked in an oven or fired in a kiln they do not shrink or expand, which means they can be installed with or without grout. Although it is a personal preference, most customers choose to use grout on floor installations. Please note, standard grout is not recommended for use with cement tiles as it contains color pigments that are prone to stain the tiles. Please refer only to our suggested quartz-based grout list.
The only instance where grout is strongly suggested is any application in direct contact with water. This is done to avoid any mold issues caused by water permeating through the joints and damaging the surface behind the tiles.
Whether installing with or without grout, we strongly urge the use of a membrane to prevent tiles from cracking if there is any shift in the foundation.
Cement tiles are naturally quite porous, which means if left unsealed they will absorb any liquid and stain. This is why we strongly urge all our tiles to be sealed with Zeus' Tile Sealer. This sealer will create a protective coat to prevent stains from instantly absorbing. As always, we suggest cleaning up spills as soon as possible. Lookin’ at you, red wine!
Since cement tiles are handmade, there may be slight variations between different lots. This is why we suggest ordering 10-15% extra. This overage accounts for cutting purposes, breakage during installation, greater range of selection, and extra material if needed in the future as future lots may not match.
Yes, all of our cement tiles are perfectly suitable and safe to be used over radiant heating.
Any standard thinset is perfectly fine (modified or unmodified). Please be sure to backbutter each tile before application.
Since our tiles are handmade, all custom orders take 12-14 weeks from order confirmation. Our minimum order quantity for custom tiles is 10 boxes.
