Chevron (Cornflower + Creme) Cement Tile Broad diagonal bands of medium blue and warm white, cut corner to corner. This is the tile that refuses to sit still — laid straight it reads as crisp pinstripe on the diagonal; mirror alternate tiles and the stripes snap into chevrons, diamonds, or a full zigzag field. One tile, three patterns, decided entirely by the hand that lays it. Each tile is hand-pressed from pigmented cement by artisans in Fez — pattern No. 1 in our archive — following a hydraulic process that has shaped North African floors for well over a century, the pigment set not by fire, but by time and pressure. Sold by the square foot, with each 8" x 8" tile covering just under half a square foot — about two and a quarter tiles per square foot of coverage. The quantity you select at checkout is square footage, and we'll round the tile count up so your installer never comes up short. The bold scale suits floors that want to make the room's argument for it: entries, sunrooms, powder rooms, and outdoor-adjacent spaces with a Riviera lean. Cement tile carries the fingerprints of its making — soft variation in tone and a slightly porous, hand-finished surface that no machine could replicate. We recommend sealing every tile before installation and again after grouting — a small ritual that protects the pigment for decades to come. For larger runs, order ten percent beyond your total square footage to allow for cuts and pattern matching. $15.75 per square foot. Dimensions: 8" × 8" × 0.375" SKU#: CEM009
