Cuban Heritage
Tile Collection
These tiles
recreate an atmosphere of days
long ago: speckled light
filtering through curtains
undulating in the breeze; patios
and terraces bathed in the sun;
tile floors fresh under bare
feet; buildings with majestic
marble columns and great halls
adorned with showy tile designs;
ballrooms, once inhabited by a
frenzy of laughter and rhythm,
covered with smooth cement tiles
where talc was thrown so that
feet would glide as if almost
floating. Lead time
on this collection is a short 4
weeks. Most cement
tiles are often all special
order, however this collection
is ready to ship. If you
need expedited shipping, please
inquire. Please find
installation information
here.

The Cuban
Heritage Collection revives
these almost forgotten memories
with a set of designs recovered
from antiquated houses and
crumbling regal buildings in
Havana and Camagüey. In some
cases, these structures were in
such a state of disrepair that
debris had to be removed in
order to find the beautiful
antique floor of intact tiles
underneath. A shock in
contrasts, but a fortunate
discovery, since many of the old
buildings are being destroyed or
renovated and these tiles will
soon be lost forever.
Some of the
tiles are whimsical and others
are modernist, reflecting Cuba’s
heyday in the designs. The Cuban
Heritage Collection differs from
other cement tiles by having
more elaborate patterns, using
stronger colors, and prominently
using double borders to enrich
the designs.
The
collection introduces ten
historical designs, each one is
available in three colorways:
one with the original color
combination found in Cuba, and
two others with more modern and
subtle colors. Each piece is
handmade by expert craftsmen,
just as it was a century ago.
While the materials and tools
used have changed slightly, this
has only improved the tiles’
finish and resistant qualities.
As with all
Aguayo tiles, the manufacturing
process and materials used to
create the Cuban Heritage
Collection result in a green
product. The Cuban Heritage
Collection is the newest product
addition of Industrias Aguayo, a
Dominican company, a leader in
the cement tile market currently
exporting to the United States
and the Caribbean.
