What We Do

Everything we make is produced by hand in our Paola workshop, on original presses, using patterns drawn from over 300 handmade moulds.

Cement Tile Manufacturing

For generations, cement tiles have been made through a process shaped by hand, skill and time. At Malta Tiles, we continue to work with these traditional methods, preserving a craft that has been passed down from one generation to the next.

Each tile is individually made, carrying the subtle variations and character that can only come from a handmade process.

Existing Tile Replication

Original tiles carry with them the history and character of the spaces they belong to. Using traditional methods, we carefully recreate existing cement tiles, matching their original design, colours and details.

Whether replacing missing tiles or restoring an existing floor, each piece is made to sit naturally alongside the original, preserving the character of the space for years to come.

Bespoke Tile Commissions

Our bespoke tile commissions offer the opportunity to create something entirely individual. Working closely with each client, we develop original patterns and colour combinations.

Each commissioned design is then brought to life by hand, using the same traditional process that has defined cement tile making for generations.

Cement Tile Workshops

Step inside the workshop and experience the traditional craft of cement tile making first-hand. Participants are introduced to the process before choosing their colours and creating a tile of their own.

Visit the workshop

Every tile we make is more than a tile. It is a celebration of culture, connection and perseverance.

Whether restoring a historic home or bringing character to a contemporary space, our tiles are made to be lived with, loved and passed on.

Handmade Maltese Cement tiles are a significant part of Malta's cultural heritage. Their designs have evolved over the years, reflecting the country’s history, artistic and cultural diversity. From Baroque motifs inspired by churches and village festas, to the Maltese cross which has become a part of our cultural identity, to geometric patterns, these tiles serve as a visual history of Malta’s design trends throughout the decades.

Client Experiences

  • It is always nice to appreciate a skill, but it is even more uplifting to see a Maltese tradition kept alive on the island. Robert's passion shone through when he showed us around the workshop, and his suggestion to help solve our design conundrum was valuable knowledge that aided in achieving a very nice finish. Now our newly cast historic steps and new traditional tiles look very beautiful. We would very much like to thank all those involved at Malta Tiles for aiding this project, and we cannot recommend you highly enough.

  • If you’re looking for authentic Maltese cement patterned tiles or terrazzo, look no further! Malta Tiles are excellent. Excellent service from beginning to end, professional workmanship and a seamless product, and they listen to all your requests and concerns to make sure you are happy with the result. All the patterns and colours are fully customisable and they have such a wide variety in their catalogue. They also offer an old tile repair service and were also able to match colours with older tiles for a seamless finish. Out of all the suppliers I worked with while finishing my home, Malta Tiles were certainly the ones I had most peace of mind over. Thank you Robert, Rebecca, and all the team at Malta Tiles. Highly recommended!

  • Almost a year ago, my husband and I wandered down a back alley to find Malta Tiles, not knowing what to expect. We were met by Robert, who proceeded to give us an in-depth tour of his facility and a showcase of his remarkable craftsmanship making traditional Maltese tiles. We were blown away. The process is amazing and the man and his products both an inspiration and revelation. At the time we promised to post a review which we did not do. But in counting our blessings over this past year, we remembered our lovely time in Malta and wanted to share our positive experience with anyone looking to visit Malta Tiles.
