Payments with Google Pay Integrated

Payments on our website are now easier and faster. We are currently awaiting Apple Pay's decision on launching the same service for its clients. However, due to bureaucratic formalities, the integration takes time. We will do this later.

Ultrathin (3 mm) Flexible Cement Tiles

Slimcrete from ACL is a range of cement tiles that are just 3 mm thick, honoured with the silver medal at Awards Innovation 2024.

The tiles are produced of cement (30%), selected natural minerals (65%), and reinforcing fibers (5%), with no harmful additives such as plasticizers, phthalates, and formaldehyde.

Owing to unique production equipment, double pressing technology, and special coating, these materials are water-resistant and easy to clean.

Lightweight and flexible, Slimcrete ideally fits both for interiors and façade cladding.

The range is remarkable for quick installation, aesthetic appeal of cement tiles, and design freedom owing to the innumerable combinations of tile sizes and colors.

Slimcrete comprises three collections, each of which is available in two surface finishes (flat and sand-blasted).

Flat is a classical collection of cement tiles.

Groove is a variation of the Flat series enhanced by the grooved texture.

Patch is an interpretation of the patchwork layouts in two compositions: Muretto and Trio.

A Small Update on How We Dispatch Tile Samples to You & How We Manage to Do This So Quickly

We are expanding our catalogue by adding only collections with samples available in stock.
Now, all collections offer samples for purchase. After an order is placed, the system automatically creates an optimal picking sequence. The operator then selects the required samples, assigns them to the correct orders, and packages them manually.
Within 2–3 days, the customer receives a box with cut samples, each featuring a QR code with product information.
This approach enables fully visual selection - from the website to the physical sample - and eliminates errors related to item numbers, names, or incorrect color choices.

All New Arrivals on the Website Have Samples

Within a couple of weeks, this step may slow down the appearance of new materials in our range. However, as of now, all the products in our online store will have samples ready for shipment.

Moreover, within three months, we expect to provide this opportunity for 100% of our online catalog.

We recommend that customers place their order only after receiving and viewing samples of a particular product. Please be reminded that courier delivery of samples takes only within 2-3 days from the moment an order is placed on our website. And here they are at home or in your office!

Possible minor disruptions in website operation over the next few days

Over the past 2–3 days, we have been experiencing occasional outages and malfunctions in some of our services. The suspected cause is excessive activity from the ChatGPT bot attempting to train on our catalog — which, frankly, is rather inappropriate and puts unsuitable overloads. We are in the process of scaling up our infrastructure, which will take a few more days. After that, we expect to restore 100% uptime. Thank you for staying with us.

Why the Roman Emperor Augustus Is to Blame for Delayed Tile Delivery

On August 15, Italy celebrates Ferragosto, the holiday established by Octavian Augustus in 18 BC and named after the emperor (from the Latin Feriae Augusti). Since then, this has been the main period of vacation for the Italians, when most companies and production facilities close for holidays. Therefore, the lead time calculated on our website is 2-3 weeks longer (on average) than usual. This is a force majeure circumstance. The tiles will be shipped again within the standard delivery times in September.
