French style cement tiles Nostalgic material, enhancing modern space

French-style cement tiles are more than just a building material – they are a symbol of the intersection between art, history and architecture. With their timeless classic beauty and flexible application, cement tiles are gradually making a strong comeback in modern buildings – from boutique cafes to 5-star hotels.

1. French-style cement tiles – A timeless architectural mark

French-style cement tiles, also known as traditional cement tiles or classic cement tiles, first appeared in France in the 1850s. Made from cement and pigments, the tiles have symmetrical patterns, delicate colors, and are artistically handcrafted.

Since its inception, this line of tiles has quickly become a high-class building material, appearing in classy buildings of European aristocracy: castles, mansions, and even government buildings in Berlin.

At the end of the 19th century, when the French brought construction techniques to Indochina, French-style tiles were introduced to Vietnam, leaving their mark on iconic buildings such as the opera house, schools, post offices, ancient villas, etc. And since then, the name "French-style tiles" has become a familiar name for a material line that carries strong memories of time.

2. French-style cement tiles in contemporary architecture

After a period of "oversleep" due to the rise of industrial ceramic tiles, in recent years, French-style cement tiles are making a strong comeback as a nostalgic material trend, creating a unique character for the project.

It is not difficult to find these tile models at:

Indochine-style cafes

Restaurants, boutique hotels

Classic or neoclassical apartments and townhouses

Creative office, art space
