Cement is a “living” surface like metal or natural stone. Like all other natural materials, some maintenance will be required to keep your Geon Tile looking it’s best. Most people prefer to let the cement tile “wear in” and develop a beautiful patina over time. Cement tiles with more detailed patterns often wear in and patina less noticeably than simpler patterned cement tile.
