Square Concrete Tiles
SQUARE CONCRETE TILES
Our Square Concrete Tiles have been designed for high-performance, and are 4x lighter and 8x stronger than typical concrete tiles. This makes them invaluable for indoor and outdoor use. Our special manufacturing process allows us to create large format tiles that are thin but strong, and possess high mechanical resistance.
These tiles are useful in a range of settings, and are available in different textures and finishes. We use cement, sand, carefully chosen additives, and UV stable pigments to create a finished product that stands out from the competition.
We make sure to precisely tailor the needs of your business to the tiles we make. The final product we create will be perfect for any environment, regardless of whether it is home or office and we carry a wealth of standard sizes in our selection which can be used to give you ample options for projects.
