Delivery

Delivery Terms & Conditions

1. Delivery Inspection

Please ensure that all products are carefully checked at the time of delivery. Any breakages or damages must be clearly stated on the delivery note. This is essential, as all deliveries are insured against damage, and doing so allows for a swift response from our customer service team.

Important:

If you sign for a delivery without noting any damage, we reserve the right to refuse replacements or refunds for any broken items.

In case of damage:

Inspect the delivery thoroughly.
If any items are damaged, mark the delivery note as “damaged” and sign it.
If you have not signed the delivery not “damaged”, we reserve the right to refuse any replacements.
Inform us immediately of any damage.
We may request written confirmation of the issue within 48 hours of delivery.
Take digital photos of the damaged items.
These images are necessary for processing insurance claims and should be sent to us as soon as possible.

If someone else is receiving the delivery on your behalf, they must be fully informed of these conditions.

2. Delivery Company & Site Access
All deliveries are subcontracted to national pallet networks, which operate through central hubs and independent local depots across the country. As a result, Otto Tiles cannot guarantee delivery on a specific date, and cannot be held responsible for late deliveries or any delays or costs resulting from them.
At the time of your order, please inform us of any site restrictions that could affect delivery. Our delivery vehicles are typically large, and any obstructions (e.g., parked cars, narrow roads) should be cleared in advance.
You must notify us of any potential issues, including:

Parking restrictions
Congestion charges
Narrow lanes or roads
Slopes or steep driveways
Height restrictions
Weak or weight-limited bridges

You may be charged for redelivery if we are not informed of these in advance.

We strongly recommend that you do not schedule trades people for installation on the delivery day, as Otto Tiles will not be liable for any costs arising from delayed delivery.

3. Curbside Delivery

Please note that delivery drivers are not permitted to move products inside your property or site. All deliveries are curbside only and will be off-loaded at the nearest suitable point to your address, which may be the roadside.
For orders over 150 sq ft, please be aware that larger pallets and heavier loads may be involved.

Anything you can do to help facilitate a smoother drop-off closer to your property is appreciated.

You (or someone on your behalf) must be present to receive the delivery.
If no one is available, the delivery will not be off-loaded, and additional redelivery charges will apply.

Please ensure all goods are checked upon delivery and that the delivery note is signed appropriately.

We will not accept claims if the delivery note is signed “unchecked.”

4. Pallets & Crates

Your order will typically arrive on pallets or in crates, which are considered part of your delivery.
Otto Tiles is not responsible for removing pallets or crates from your site, unless specifically agreed beforehand.

How It's Made

At Otto Tiles, the journey of each cement tile begins with contemporary design. We create bold, artistic patterns that fuse heritage with modern expression—designs that tell stories through shape, symmetry, and soul.

Once a design is finalized, our artisans craft the brass mold entirely by hand, heating and bending each strip of brass over an open flame to precisely outline the pattern. This delicate, fiery process requires patience, mastery, and a deep understanding of geometry.

The finished mold becomes the foundation for tile production in our ateliers in Ho Chi Minh and Istanbul, where each tile is poured, layer by layer, using a mixture of white cement, marble powder, and natural pigments. Pressed under a hydraulic press and cured in water—not fired—these tiles emerge with a smooth matte finish, vibrant color depth, and subtle imperfections that mark the human hand behind the work.

Durable, soulful, and rich in character, our cement tiles are a modern homage to craftsmanship. Once dried, each tile boasts a silky matte finish, vibrant color depth, and slight variations that reflect the human touch.

This slow, deliberate process allows us to produce tiles that are not only environmentally friendly but also rich in soul—ideal for spaces that seek timeless character and modern edge.

Product and Sample Orders

Despite our close attention to detail and strict packaging standards, breakages can occasionally occur during delivery. For this reason, we strongly recommend ordering at least 15% more tiles than your net area to allow for possible transit damage and any additional cuts required during installation.

Please note that we do not accept liability for damage, delays, or reshipment fees for orders placed without this recommended buffer. All sample orders are limited to four samples per tile. Orders exceeding this limit may be canceled and refunded.

Trade account holders, architects, designers, and other industry professionals are welcome to request up to 5 free samples by emailing us at info@ottotiles.com

Please note that all samples and showroom displays are intended as a general guide only and should not be considered an exact match to your final order. Due to the nature of our handmade, kiln-fired production process, significant color variation can
occur from batch to batch.

Because tiles are handmade to order, and there is typically a time gap between
sampling and purchase, we cannot guarantee that your final order will be from the same kiln batch as your sample. As a result, the color of the tiles you receive may vary from that of the sample.

CEMENT TILES

Are cement tiles suitable for use in pools or fountains?

Cement tilescan be used for pool waterline borders or surrounding areas such as decks,provided they are finished with a high-quality, pool-grade sealant. However, they are not suitable for fully submerged applications like inside pools, fountains, or water features. Even when sealed, cement tiles remain porous and can absorb water over time, which may lead tostaining, cracking, or deterioration. For submerged areas, we recommend choosing a non-porous alternative tile type specifically designed for underwater use.

Can I use cement tiles around a fireplace?

Yes, Otto cement tiles are suitable for fireplace surrounds and hearth walls. Their durability and handmade beauty make them ideal for decorative use around high-heat areas. However, they should not be installed inside the firebox, where direct flame exposure can cause cracking or damage.

Can I use Cement Tiles over underfloor heating?

Yes. Cement tiles are fully compatible with radiant heating systems. The floor heating should be turned off 12 hours prior to installation, and restarted gradually only after the tiles are fully cured. Leave a 3 mm (1/8") grout gap to allow for thermal expansion.

Do cement tiles need to be sealed?

Yes—sealing is essential. Cement tiles must be sealed before and after grouting to protect against staining and moisture. Otto Tiles recommends Miracle 511 Porous Plus. These sealers are invisible and preserve the tile’s color and finish. Reseal annually in showers and every 2–3 years elsewhere. If water doesn’t bead on the tile surface, it’s time to reseal.

Will the tiles stain or get damaged during installation?

Tiles can stain if not properly sealed before grouting. Always seal first, then grout in small areas (approx. 20–30 sqf), cleaning as you go with a damp sponge and fresh water. Avoid letting grout dry on the tile surface. Grout haze is typically the result of improper sealing or failure to clean promptly. If grout residue sets, use a non-acidic tile cleaner and rinse thoroughly.

What should I do before installation?

Unbox all tiles and lay them out to dry and acclimate. Do not stack tiles face-to-face. Clean any dust or residue before installation. Mix tiles from multiple boxes to evenly distribute tonal variation. We recommend ordering at least 15% overage to account for cuts, breakage, or unexpected issues during installation. Slight surface imperfections are normal and reflect the handmade nature of the product.

Where can I use Otto cement tiles?

Cement tiles are extremely versatile and can be used on:

Floors and walls
Kitchens and bathrooms
Showers and wet areas
Outdoor patios and walkways (with proper sealing)
Fireplace surrounds (not inside the firebox)
Backsplashes and accent walls
High-traffic commercial areas
Over underfloor heating systems
