Use and Care Manual

Concrete tiles are a tough man-made mix of stone, sand, water, cement, fibers and
pigment. Available in multiple styles and colors, concrete tiles can be made to mimic a
variety of natural stone finishes and textures. Concrete tiles can range from highly porous
to very dense. Because they are made from concrete, they are sensitive to acid.
