ÊTRE TILE
A CONCRETE REALITY
A highly specialized, handcrafted architectural art tile.
With the same energy and integrity that makes our one-of-a-kind custom art glass a success we invented a line of metallic-colored concrete tiles that truly function as art for architecture.
Cuts of fine crystal, elements of hammered metal, patinas of nature and texture that draw the hand and eye, ÊTRE TILE is so distinctive that California Home and Design Magazine awarded ÊTRE TILE the New Product Award 2008.
Using green building principles, our tiles contain eco-sustainable alternatives to Portland cement, are naturally air-cured and are sealed with environmentally friendly products. Handcrafted in our California studio, ÊTRE TILE is made to order in your choice of Weathered Copper, Brushed Nickel, Silver Moss, Bronze and Vintage Pewter. Variations in patina are an inherent part of the unique beauty of the finished product.
With over 25 years of experience in design and architectural art glass, we also offer stunning custom-made glass doors, windows and partitions to compliment your tile selection. In need of a guaranteed one-of-a-kind look? ÊTRE TILE can be custom designed for a special project.
ÊTRE TILE is designed for imaginative combinations. There is no “right or wrong,” “up or down.” We look forward to seeing what you do with them!
