Belmont Shores Moroccan bungalow, this kitchen redo was completed in 2016, Moroccan was the design brief so we experimented with Encaustic tile, which have been used for centuries in Europe (the tile body is concrete and the pigment powder is pressed into the upper 1/8th” of the tile) concrete tiles are quite porous and are quick to pick up surface stains even with high quality sealer, These patina beautifully and some of my favourite examples are those that have been installed for decades If you are ok with Patina, these are a winner. Because of their recent rapid rise in popularity they are feeling a bit gimmicky which is silly really because they have been around since medieval times (the era not the jousting & dinner theater spectacular)
