Villa Lagoon Tile Encaustic Cement Tile

  ...  the most brilliant 'green flooring' in town and how it came to be...

During the construction of a DAC-ART Building System hurricane proof home on the Gulf Coast, owner, Lundy Wilder realized that the only flooring choice that really made sense for an Italian classic home in this storm prone area was the tile that she had seen in her travels often called encaustic cement tile. After much research, she determined that the tile was still wildly popular in many parts of the world, but virtually unknown in the States. 

Another observation was that while there were exotic, colorful and even hypnotic patterns available from the far corners of the world, few of the designs would appeal to North Americans who have grown accustomed to living with mono-chromatic floors. Additionally, there were no patterns available that reflected coastal lifestyles and color schemes.

So "what's a girl to do ?".... go into the tile business in order to get the tile she needs for a Gulf Coast home. 

Lundy has designed multi-colored tile patterns that achieve many things. They harmonize beautifully with both the popular and classic colors loved by coastal dwellers and the historic mosaic tiles are extremely versatile in how they can be used. 

Traditional floors made of encaustic cement tiles are laid out like a carpet or rug and often have a coordinating border just as a Persian rug might. Lundy has created tiles that can be mixed and matched with various borders or used wall-to-wall with no border. Some of the tiles have interlocking patterns that can be laid in both a tessellating 90 degree turn pattern, or laid side-by-side with no rotation for an entirely different look. 

Villa Lagoon Tiles are priced for delivery to your project, home or business.

Once you decide on your design and colors, your order will be made and shipped in about 6 to 8 weeks. 

At this time, our molds are being manufactured. Each of Villa Lagoon Tile's introductory patterns will be used in Vila Lagoon. As soon as possible, the photographs of the tile delivery, installation and the finished floor will be added to this website. 

Should another storm hit the Gulf Coast, Lundy feels sure that her beautiful floors will remain intact, just as her dry-stack concrete stone guest house has thru two of the biggest natural disasters to ever hit the U.S.A.
