Gallery 4 produces a range of handmade encaustic cement tiles for New Zealand. With characteristics similar to marble, the handmade tiles are highly durable and recyclable. First developed in France over 150 years ago, they are finding a renewed popularity in contemporary architecture for their natural look, waxy yet hard-wearing finish, and wide colour and pattern choice.

Colour is set into the top layer with a mix of white Portland cement, sand, marble powder and mineral pigment, which is fused on a cement base. As a
handmade product, the tiles have some natural imperfections, and it is this characteristic and the wax polish that provide their warm patina and charm.

We produce our own pattern range with both vibrant and subtle colours, or we can develop a design to suit your individual project.
