Meknes (Pine + Noir + Blanca + Chambray) Cement Tile Sage green and near-black cut into angular fragments across a cream ground — geometry borrowed from the gates of the imperial city, where whole walls resolve into stars if you stand far enough back. On its own the tile reads as an abstract diagonal; laid four together it becomes something else entirely. Turn the corners one way and the field fills with interlocking star-crosses. Turn them the other and a single eight-pointed medallion opens across all four tiles, large enough to anchor a room. 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. The muted palette keeps the geometry calm enough to live with daily: bathroom floors, entries, kitchen runs, and the kind of powder room that should stop a guest for a moment. 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#: CEM021
