What is Cement Glazed Tiles?
Essentially, cement glazed tiles is a kind of ceramic tiles which are restore the effect of cement floors.
How the Cement Glazed Tiles Developed?
Cement glazed tiles are the tiles that mimic the effect of cement floors. The history of cement can be traced back to the Dadiwan people in Qin’an, China 5,000 years ago. The material which they installed the ground is similar to modern cement. According to the excavation of the Dadiwan site in Qin’an, Gansu, China’s earliest palace-style buildings appeared during the fourth phase of the Dadiwan cultural period, about 5,000 years ago.
Different from other ancient Chinese buildings, the ground is not a rammed earth structure but a ground similar to modern cement made of sand and stone.
Nowadays, the cement which people called was invented by the Englishman Joseph in 1824.In 1824, Joseph summed up the ratio of various raw materials such as lime, clay, slag and the method of producing this mixture on the basis of repeated experiments.
After being hardened, since the color and strength of cement which Joseph invented are similar to those which produced on Portland Island, England. So at that time, people call it “Portland Cement.”
Therefore, as early as the eighteenth century, cement became an epoch-making product in the history of human architecture and the basic material of all modern waterproof buildings. The use of cement in Europe and America spanned the three industrial revolutions. From invention to wide application, cement has always represented the prosperity and development of a city. Therefore, Europe and America have a special liking for “cement”.
In the early twentieth century, cement was widely used in Europe and America. In order to break the dullness of architecture, cement tiles with decorative patterns made of cement and paint were poured and polished, and they were popular in Europe and America. This traditional building material is mostly used on the ground, and also widely used in courtyards, swimming pools, halls and terraces; it can also be used in kitchens, bathrooms and stairs, very delicate. At this point, people began to use cement floors with “patterns, styles, and colors”. It is popular because of its complicated patterns and matte texture, and it falls out of favor because of its complicated patterns but less variability and heavy products.
With the improvement of manufacturing level, ceramic tiles have gradually replaced cement floors in millions of households. But people’s love for cement has not faded. As a result, “cement tiles” that have been calcined at high temperatures, richer in color, and lighter and more durable, gradually replaced “cement floors” and “cement tiles.” In addition to restoring the style of traditional building materials, cement tiles also pursue the authenticity of nature, which is reflected in the color changes of cement tiles.
Why did Cement Glazed Tiles Become Popular

More and more people have begun to advocate returning to nature, pursuing simple and natural life, and they are increasingly inclined to rustic styles in home furnishings, while cement glazed tiles have the gray tone of cement floors. The natural cracking texture after long-term use fully meets people’s requirements. In addition, thanks to the development of inkjet technology, various patterns can be printed more freely, and many different cement surfaces can be made. At the same time, the texture of the tile surface is more realistic and delicate. Ceramic tiles have already broken through the two-dimensional limit, moving towards a three-dimensional era with real bumpy effects.
That is to say, the surface mold effect and anti-slip effect of cement glazed tiles can be more perfect. The increasingly rich design of tile patterns and the variability of space application designs are also one of the factors in the popularity of cement tiles.
At the beginning, designers discovered the natural and simple characteristics of cement, and after they applied the developed cement tiles to the space. The effect is really good. That’s why cement tiles can became quickly popular.
