Barcelona tile red octagonal pattern tie

Tile design from Barcelona, Spain. A traditional pattern from the late nineteenth an early twentieth century. Very colourful, octagonal and geometrical, ideal for merchandise. Dream of the Catalonia region and get a bit of the mediterranean. Barcelona is a spanish city and among many things it known for its colourful cement tiles. These tile form patterns, sometimes geometric, on floors and wall. The tiles are popular because they give such a Mediterranean vintage look and feel in your house. As if you are in Spain. Cement tiles are not baked in an oven but are a version of Portland cement. The first layer applied is the colour pattern and the second, thicker, layer is the grey cement layer. Then they are pressed together. The top pattern layer is fused with the bottom cement layer. This type of tile is very durable.
