Athangudi Tiles

The floor begins the welcome

Handmade Athangudi cement tiles are non-fired decorative tiles formed on glass, where colour and pattern are composed by hand using cement, graded sand, mineral oxides, and water. Each piece carries vivid colour and the gentle variation of its making.

Heritage Florals

Pattern, border, matching corners and scale are composed around your space. The colour palette and laying plan are developed through discussion with you.

Planning the whole floor

The border matters
as much as the field.

Space dimensions, thresholds, focal axes and adjoining finishes determine where a repeat begins, where it ends and how corners resolve.

From Colour to Cure

Made by hand, composed as a complete floor

Each non-fired cement tile begins face-down on glass. A metal divider holds the motif while the decorative colour layers are placed by hand, followed by the cement and graded-sand body. The tile is then formed, water-cured, hand-finished, and reviewed as part of its selected batch.

Set the motif

A metal pattern divider establishes the geometry on glass.

Place the colour

Mineral colour is composed by hand within the pattern.

Form the body

Cement and graded sand give the tile its working depth.

Cure and finish

Water curing and hand finishing prepare the surface for review.

Plan the Whole Composition

Field, repeat, border, and corner belong together

Space dimensions, thresholds, focal axes, cuts, and adjoining finishes shape the layout before quantity planning begins.
