Is concrete tile the same as cement tile?
A concrete-look tile is a porcelain tile that’s been digitally printed with high-resolution concrete patterns and designs.
They come in a variety of sizes from small to standard, large format and XL tiles.
Cement tiles are made with pigments, concrete, and other materials. While the two differ in composition, concrete look tiles can achieve a similar aesthetic to cement tiles at a fraction of the price.

Is it cheaper to tile or concrete?
You can’t have one without the other! You need concrete to tile.
- Generally, you have to have a concrete slab to tile over unless you are doing pavers.
If you want to have concrete tile but don’t want to go over budget, your best option is concrete-look porcelain tile. Here’s why it’s cheaper and better to lay than natural concrete tile.
- Concrete-look tiles provide a durable and attractive solution that's cheaper to install, easier to maintain and looks great.
- They are also faster to lay, and you’ll have the added benefit of easily customising your tile's pattern and design.
