From Past to Present


They were very popular in the semi-mansions in the beginning of this century and the tiles we found in our region can be recovered to their former glory through grinding, stripping and other treatments. In most cases it is also possible to give them a modern look with a high gloss finish.

Treatment, Finishing, and Protection


Besides choosing an aesthetic finish, cement tiles can be quit porous. It is therefore very important to treat them to make them more resistant to stains and harden them to ensure greater durability.

Crystallization of cement tiles by traditional method increases the protection of the floor while giving it an additional aesthetic appeal with a satin to gloss finish.

 Depending on your needs and desires, Emotion Pierres offers several alternatives of protection enabling matte, satin, high gloss finishes and respecting your budget.
