Nur (Cayenne + Blanca) Cement Tile

Nur (Cayenne + Blanca) Cement Tile

Nur — Arabic for light — is a radiating star burst rendered here at its starkest: rust-red against cream, no other color to soften the contrast. Every quarter is a fragment; laid four together, the fragments resolve into a single dense medallion radiating outward, the heat of the color giving it more intensity than any other Nur in the collection. 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 the Nur for a room that wants real drama: grand entries, formal foyers, and floors meant to be seen the moment a door opens.

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.
