Nur (Turquoise + Blanca) Cement Tile Nur — Arabic for light — is the most intricate star pattern in our collection, a sixteen-point burst radiating outward in blue and white from a single point at its center. What looks like fragments on one tile resolves, laid together, into a single continuous medallion of astonishing density: the kind of geometry that took master craftsmen years to perfect by hand, long before anyone thought to press it in cement. Each tile is hand-pressed from pigmented cement by artisans in Fez, 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. This is a floor for a room that deserves a genuine showpiece: grand entries, formal foyers, and courtyard floors meant to be looked down upon from above. 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#: CEM040
