Riad (Teal Multi) Cement Tile Teal tendrils curling like young ferns, grey fronds reaching across a chalk-white ground, gold arcs and small red berries scattered between — a courtyard garden rendered loose and hand-drawn. The tile is a quarter of a larger figure, and the two layouts change its temperament entirely: turn the corners inward and it turns into a dense grey thistle at the center; turn them outward and the whole thing opens into an airy blossom with gold rays reaching to the edges. 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 pale ground keeps it light on its feet: sunrooms, garden baths, kitchen floors, and covered patios where a pattern should feel planted rather than installed. 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#: CEM024
