Tile Description

Zellige is a traditional Moroccan tile handcrafted with nonrefined natural clay from the Fez region. It is a low-fired terracotta that may be used for all applications, including floor, wall, interior, exterior and water treatments, such as pools. Zellige owes its distinctive appearance to slight variations in size, color and other imperfections. Each Zellige tile is unique, with color variation between each tile because of the ancient glazing process that uses raw materials. Firing Zellige tiles often causes crazing on the surface of the glazed tiles. Zellige tiles are hand-chiseled, and size variation is common. Be prepared for some variation in width, length and thickness. Due to the raw materials and timeless methods of making Zellige tiles, you will receive tiles that are pitted through the glaze, about 20% of which will contain cracks, crazing and edge-chipping. These tiles are perfectly fine to be installed.
