6 Things You Should Know
Creating our special Otto Tiles
Individually hand crafted, these lovely
products are created by our artisans without
using clay, glazes or kilns. Instead we use
high quality Turkish cement sand with
natural stones granule and color pigments.
Each tile is hand-pressed to apply the
coloured design, each mould having been
designed by our atelier artists. Because they
are hand-made, there will be slight
variations, even 'imperfections', but that's
part of their charm and their timeless look.

Ingredients:
Turkish stone granules
Portland cement
Fine sand
Natural color pigments
And finally, love
The 4 step process;
1) A hand made steel mould is cut for the design
which is used to define and separate the
magnificent colors.
2) We pour the desired colors in to each mould’s
section. This allows the separate colors to form
into our selected pattern.
3) Then, we mix the other ingredients
4) Finally, they are pressed by the hydraulic
machine.

Installation Tips
- A competent tile installer is a must.
- The surface must be level, dry, clean and
free from dust and oil.
- Please note that they are handmade
products and are produced by using natural
materials. Slight thickness, weight and
colour tone differences are an inherent
feature. In order to avoid stacking of similar
tiles in the same place, tiles should be
selected from different boxes.
57
Installation Tips
- The tile installer must not allow a space for
grouting when setting the tiles.
- Flexible adhesive is recommended for
areas subject to sudden changes in
temperature. Waterproofing materials must
be used for wet areas.
- If applicable, floor heating systems must be
turned off at least 12 hours prior to tile
setting.
58
Installation Tips
- Rubber hammers or similar tools cannot be
used for setting the tiles as they may cause
hairline cracks.
- Grouting may only be applied after a waiting
period, typically one day. The waiting period
depends on the surface,
environmental conditions and the type of
the adhesive used.
- Once the setting and grouting is complete,
allow an extra drying period before use to
avoid movement and cracks
59
Installation Tips
- The grout must be cleaned immediately
with just water and a sponge. Do not allow
the grout to harden on the surface.
- If the grout hardens, you can clean with
non-acidic chemicals, but it must be rinsed
immediately with a sponge and water.
- We suggest you to use glass vacuum lifter
for tiling.
- Tiles laid must be imregnated to increase
their water repellence.
60
Installation Tips
- A marble grinding machine must be used
for grinding. Using the wrong grinding
stones may cause scratches on the tiles
which will only show in due course when the
dirt starts building in the cracks.
- Sealants that do not form a film layer on the
surface must be applied after
grinding/polishing.
- The cement tiles with incomplete grinding
and sealing will be subject to gathering dirt
and absorbing stains
