Elder Lister
Unlike ceramic tiles, which are made from fired clay, cement tiles are made from a mixture of sand, cement, color pigment, and a marble powder. One main advantage of cement tiles is that they are hard wearing and can be customized to a client's design. Cement tiles are widely used in some countries in competition with ceramic tiles. Below is an example of a room fitted with cement tiles.

We are talking about 5 tons of compression, not the kind you use on wet substrate. Enough pressure to compress powder into a slate that can be handled without damage.

A Chinese press will set you back about 2.5 million shillings, and a better one twice that amount. Adding the auxiliaries makes a total of 3 million shillings. That means you cannot effortlessly move from casting concrete blocks to pressing tiles.

Karibu sana, I've been breaking my head on this but capital has let me down.
I sourced some machine from abroad, bei ilfika one million plus to get it to Mombasa.
Priorities haven't allowed me to invest.
