Portico (Ochre + Turquoise) Cement Tile

Portico (Ochre + Turquoise) Cement Tile

A squared quatrefoil with pointed arch lobes, ochre orange set against turquoise blue, a small square window opening at dead center — sharper-cornered and more architectural than our rounder medallions, like a series of framed doorways seen from above. Complete on a single tile, it needs no rotation to read: lay it down and the medallion is already whole. 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 warm-and-cool contrast gives it real presence: kitchen backsplashes, entries, and dining rooms that want a pattern with genuine architectural weight.

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.
