Cement tiles have deep roots in the decorative history of interior architecture, dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At that time, decoration was dominated by the sinuous lines of the Liberty style, the floral motifs of Art Nouveau and Jugendstil.
Today, those patterns are brought back to life thanks to cement-effect porcelain stoneware and ceramics, allowing the beauty of period ornamentation to be reintroduced into contemporary spaces with state-of-the-art performance.
Their resistance to wear, heat, and humidity makes them an excellent choice even for outdoor spaces. Depending on your needs, you can choose lighter ceramic wall tiles or more structured porcelain floor tiles, while maintaining a high aesthetic and functional standard in both cases.
Cement-effect porcelain stoneware surfaces are true works of industrial design, ideal for any vintage-inspired space, such as retro kitchens, shabby chic bathrooms, or dramatic entryways.
Patterns range from elegant geometric shapes to botanical motifs, and the distinctive terrazzo effect. This variety allows designers to play with tone-on-tone combinations or create bold contrasts that become the highlight of the space.
The color palette includes natural and sophisticated tones like taupe, gray, and beige, but also more expressive shades such as green, blue and yellow. In white and black combinations, cement tiles offer refined and timeless graphic solutions.
In kitchen design, cement-effect tiles become a high-impact decorative element.
Used as backsplash tiles, they transform the work area into a distinctive graphic backdrop, enhancing the space and creating a unique focal point. On the floor, these decorative surfaces help define the room, adding depth and rhythm even in open-plan kitchens.
Pairing with materials such as raw wood, steel, and concrete strengthens the dialogue between tradition and modernity, creating combinations that speak the language of contemporary interior architecture. Porcelain stoneware or ceramic surfaces are compact and non-absorbent, offering exceptional resistance to heat, moisture, scratches, and cleaners—qualities that make cement tiles perfect for those who want a kitchen with strong visual impact that’s also easy to maintain every day.
In bathroom designs, cement tiles bring balance, character, and attention to detail.
Perfect as wall tiles or flooring, they elegantly decorate shower areas, sink backsplashes or relaxation zones, with well-balanced colors and precise designs. Refined graphics—often inspired by floral or geometric patterns—add depth to the space and allow endless customization possibilities.
The right mix of furniture, faucets, modern fixtures, and decorative cement tiles creates sophisticated, functional spaces, even in smaller bathrooms.
Color variations—from soft hues to bolder combinations—allow you to optimize the perception of space, while surface textures add a tactile touch that makes the room warmer and more inviting. Porcelain stoneware, with its resistance and stability, also ensures durability and hygiene, even under high humidity conditions.
In living areas such as the living room, Ragno cement tiles become the highlight of the space, elegantly defining the functional zones of the home.
These cement-effect tiles, with their decorative patterns and wide range of shades, visually enrich the room and give character even to transitional spaces, often overlooked in design.
Paired with wood-effect finishes, metal-effect or solid colors, cement tiles create refined and harmonious material contrasts. In open-plan spaces, the decorative effect of cement tiles can be used to define functional zones—such as the dining area or entryway—without the need for walls or architectural divisions, ensuring a fluid and cohesive visual continuity. The compositional versatility of these tiles allows you to create personalized, welcoming spaces that combine living comfort with aesthetic value.
One of the most appreciated qualities of porcelain cement tiles is their compatibility with underfloor heating systems, allowing for uniform and optimal heat conduction. This means floors are always pleasantly warm, with a homogeneous distribution of heat and greater everyday comfort during the colder seasons.
Thanks to their compact structure and low capillarity, cement tile surfaces are non-absorbent, resistant to humidity, impacts, and thermal changes. This stability makes them suitable for different spaces—even the most demanding—without the need for impregnation treatments. This is an additional guarantee of durability, hygiene, and functionality for floors and wall coverings that retain their beauty over time.
The Ragno cement tile collection includes a wide range of sizes and finishes that suit every style and project.
Among the most iconic options is the classic 20×20 cm, alongside modular solutions and decorative hexagons designed to create complex geometric shapes or dynamic patterns. This dimensional flexibility allows for compositions ranging from rigorously balanced to creatively informal, perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, or even covered terraces.
The option to coordinate floors and walls allows you to create cohesive spaces, refined in every detail. Cement tiles, with their colors, designs, and combination possibilities, enable a custom design approach, turning the tile into a truly expressive tool that reflects the style of those who inhabit the space.
