Cement Tiles History Cement tiles are handmade colorful tiles used as floor coverings first appeared in Southern France from the 1850s and exhibited at the Paris International Exposition in 1867 by the French company Garret & Rivet. In that time, Cement tiles are an extremely high-grade materials, luxury used for flooring and decoration for the sumptuous castles and nobles in France, the European countries and spread to the world. Differences which can not have material that can replace that is the variety of colors, soft lines and patterns, intricate bring a flawless beauty, lovely.
L’ Indo - Chine Francaise
In the late 19th century, after invading for the countries of Indochina territory, the French have conducted construction of infrastructure in the colonial countries, including Vietnam. They bring technology, engineering, architecture, culture and some products such as Cement Tile become the messengers of two cultures European, and East Asia. Not long after that, till this day, Cement Tile production in Vietnam has become one of the brand’s typical Indochina culture. They are sometimes mistakenly called encaustic tile, which refers to kiln-fired clay tile. Cement tiles are not fired; there is no glaze layer on the surface of the tile. Cement tile supplied by INDOCHINE TILE Co. Ltd produced by handicraft, one at a time, using mineral pigments, cement, a mold, and a hydraulic press. The metal mold is handmade following specific design drawings. The pigment composition is a mixture of high quality white Portland cement, marble powder, fine sand, and natural mineral colour pigments. Cement tiles being handmade are expected to have slight imperfections, which give them character and depth.

The feature of Cement Tile All Indochine Tile handmade cement tiles are built with three layers that can be seen in a crossection view: First layer: The wear layer or tile face is a mixture of highly resistant portland white cement, powdered white marble and natural pigments. Wear resistance, color and brightness rely on the quality of this layer. Finished product has the natural finish surface and they can be polished or sealed. Any cement tiles are glazed. Second layer: It is a mortar made of fine sand and high qportland cement. For tile manufacturing, this mortar is applied as a base and reinforces the first layer, providing the ability to withstand compression loads which some times may be high for the finished product. Third layer:Is a porous mixture with the required thickness for impact strength before and after installation. A good tile should be compact & waterproof, tiles are not glazed, which is accomplished by using mixtures rich in high quality cement, mechanically mixed and manufactured under high pressure. In addition, a thorough curing process is used to increase its strength.
Why choose Cement Encaustic tile? • 100% hand crafted, paying attention to individual design and colors specifications. • Friendly with environment and Green Product with 100% natural materials, including pigments. • No flammable and are 100% recyclable. • No slippery to the bare foot. • Various design, shape, size or color. • Quality control is performed on an individual basis (piece by piece) not by lot production. 6 7

the movement of the subfloor, never installed tiles over uncured subfloors. 6.2 Waterproof membrane is recommended in all wet areas to prevent leakage of water through to the subfloor or spaces below. 6.3 Radiant heating systems can be used with Cement Tiles and it is recommended to use a membrane, concrete is a good heat conductor, be sure subfloor, mortar bed and tiles are completely dried to avoid efflorescence.
7 When installing we recommend to place the center tiles first, then the borders and finally the field tiles that will surround the pattern. 8 Use a high quality thin-set adhesive based in cement, such as a Laticrete or Mapei products. Contact adhesive manufacturer to recommend the appropriate product and Follow manufacturer’s instructions. 3/8� mortar bed is recommended.
9 Make sure that adhesive is applied to the full back of each tile (100% coverage). It is recommended to apply the back buttering to get a better adherence. 10 Do not beat with a mallet or rubber hammer to set tiles, this might cause
breakage or form thin cracks that will show up when applying the grout or sealer, perfectly level tiles using hand pressure only, Cement Tiles cannot be polished down. Remove excess adhesive from the surface with a damp cloth or sponge when it is still fresh to avoid any stains.
11 Cement Tiles can be cut using a sharp diamond blade in conjunction with water to avoid the chipping of edges.
12 Allow tiles and mortar bed to dry out completely before starting to seal and/or
polish the tiles. Do not cover the tiles to allow breathing and evaporation. Do not step on tiles until mortar bed is dried.
13 For out-doors installations, a roof is highly recommended where Cement Tiles
will be installed to avoid color fading caused by direct sunlight, tiles might also be polished with wax for extra protection and repel direct sunlight. Cleaning
14 After installation, wash floor with a PH neutral detergent. Use a single disc floor
machine with a white pad to remove any residues, remove excess dirt and water. Do not use any acids or alkalines to clean tiles.
15 Use a PH neutral cleaner and fine sandpaper to remove any stain or residues. Do not allow water or other liquids to spot, pond or ring on the surface tiles. Sealing, grouting & waxing
un-sanded grout to allow expansion, for large grout line use a sanded grout. Recommended grout joint width is 1/16�-1/8�. Joints should be full and free of all voids and pits. Once grout has been applied and starts to dry, remove excess grout immediately. Do not affix duct tape, gaffer tape or acid tapes directly on to cement tiles surface this can cause discoloration or staining.
20 There are different types of sealers that offer different finishes, matt, enhanced and gloss sheen, if you prefer a glossy finish Tiles can be polished with wax, this process must be done by a professional. Never grind or buff Tiles with an abrasive pad or disc, this process will damage the color surface. 21 After cleaning process has been completed and accepted, it is recommended to re-seal the tiles and grout lines for extra protection, especially in water places to avoid any water filtrations and moisture. Maintenance
22 For ongoing maintenance, clean regularly with a neutral detergent and buff tiles with a soft white pad, we recommend to add a capful of liquid wax to the water for extra protection.
17 Cement Tiles are porous and not pre-sealed. Therefore, sealing with a
24 The use of properly sized walk-off mats at entrances and sweeping or dust mopping is most important to remove abrasive grit that may cause wear.
17.1 Apply 2 thin coats of a penetrating sealer and a final coat of a Topical sealer
to create a protection film over the tile surface, allow it to dry completely, refer to manufacturer instructions. Use a dry absorbent white cloth, clean mop or a solvent resistant spryer and remove all excess sealant from the tile surface. 17.2 For extra protection, it is recommended to polish the Tiles with wax to avoid penetrating stains. www.indochine-tile.vn
