Zellige tiles are handmade, traditional Moroccan tiles crafted from natural clay. Known for their artisanal charm, each tile features unique imperfections, colour variations, and slight irregularities in size and glaze. This results in a textured, one-of-a-kind look that enhances any design space, from kitchens to bathrooms.
Zellige tiles are highly versatile and can be used on walls, backsplashes, showers, and even some low-traffic floors. Their moisture resistance makes them suitable for bathrooms and kitchens, but professional installation and sealing are recommended in areas with high water exposure, like shower walls.

Yes, Zellige tiles can be installed outdoors, as they are frost resistant. For the best results, consult with professionals experienced in outdoor Zellige installations.
Each Zellige tile is made from natural clay and individually hand-glazed, which leads to slight variations in colour, finish, and texture. These variations are part of the tile’s appeal, creating depth and a warm, organic aesthetic that sets them apart from mass-produced tiles.
Cleaning Zellige tiles is simple: use a pH-neutral cleaner or mild soap with water. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbers, which may damage the glaze. With proper care, Zellige tiles maintain their unique beauty over time, making them low maintenance yet luxurious. For more detailed care instructions, refer to our Technical Guide to ensure your tiles stay pristine and last beautifully over the years.
