FAQs

Choosing the right tile can be challenging with so many materials, finishes, and installation factors to consider. We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions about natural stone tiles, porcelain, ceramic, and Zellige tiles to help you make confident decisions.
1. How many square feet do I need?
Given the possibility of tile cuts, breakage, or future repairs, it’s wise to order at least 10–15% more tile than your initial calculation. This prevents unexpected shortages and delays during installation.
2. How do I calculate the number of tiles I need?
Measure the length and width of the area (in feet) and multiply to get the total square footage. Divide this by the coverage per box (listed on the product page). Always round up and add 10–15% extra to cover waste and cuts.
3. Can natural stone tiles vary in color and texture?
Yes, natural stone tiles like marble, travertine, and limestone have unique variations due to their natural formation. These differences give your project character and authenticity. We recommend ordering from the same batch for a uniform look.
4. Do I need to seal my tiles?
Most natural stone (marble, travertine, limestone) should be sealed during installation and resealed every 1–2 years. Porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles generally don’t need sealing, but grout lines benefit from sealant for stain protection.
5. What’s the best tile for high-moisture areas?
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are ideal for bathrooms, showers, and kitchens due to their water resistance. If you choose marble or travertine, ensure they’re sealed properly to avoid moisture damage.
6. Can I use floor tiles on walls?
Yes, many floor tiles can also be used on walls as long as the structure can support their weight. However, wall tiles are not always durable enough for floors. Check the PEI rating and product specifications.
7. What’s the difference between polished and honed finishes?
Polished finishes have a high-gloss, reflective surface that emphasizes color depth, perfect for luxurious interiors. Honed finishes are matte and offer better slip resistance, ideal for stone flooring or outdoor areas.
8. What grout color works best with marble tiles?
A light, neutral grout creates a seamless look, while darker grout highlights patterns for a bold style. Always use a non-sanded grout with polished marble to prevent scratches.
9. How do I cut Zellige tiles without chipping?
Use a high-quality wet saw with a fine diamond blade and cut slowly to avoid chipping. For small adjustments, a tile nipper or rubbing stone helps smooth edges. Learn more in our Zellige Tile Collection.
10. Can natural stone tiles be used for kitchen backsplashes?
Yes, natural stone backsplashes add warmth and luxury. Always seal marble or travertine to protect against stains from oils and acidic foods.
11. How do I maintain a polished marble floor?
Use a soft dust mop daily, clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner, and avoid acidic substances like vinegar. Reseal every 12–18 months to preserve its shine.
12. Are large-format tiles harder to install?
Large-format tiles (e.g., 24x24 inches) require a level substrate and a strong thin-set mortar. They reduce grout lines for a sleek look but may need two installers due to their weight.

Zellige Tiles & Mosaics
What are Zellige tiles?
Zellige tiles are handcrafted Moroccan tiles made from non-refined natural clay. Each tile is shaped, glazed, and fired by artisans using centuries-old techniques. Their beauty lies in the subtle imperfections, color variations, and uneven surfaces that create a rich, organic, and authentic look.
What makes Zellige tiles unique compared to ceramic or porcelain tiles?
Unlike machine-made ceramic or porcelain tiles, Zellige tiles are handmade, making every piece one-of-a-kind. The irregular surfaces, natural color variation, and glossy finish reflect light beautifully, giving walls, backsplashes, and showers a depth and vibrancy that factory-produced tiles cannot replicate.
Where are Zellige tiles typically used?
Zellige tiles are commonly installed on:
Kitchens, bathrooms, and feature walls.
Their glazed surface makes them water-resistant.
Adding depth and character to living spaces.
Restaurants, boutiques, and hospitality projects for a high-end, artisanal finish.
Note: While Zellige is durable, it’s not usually recommended for heavy-traffic floors.
Can Zellige tiles be used outdoors?
Yes, Zellige tiles can be used outdoors in mild climates, but they are best suited for interior applications. In regions with freeze-thaw cycles, outdoor use is not recommended as the handmade clay base may absorb moisture and crack in extreme conditions.
How do color variations in Zellige tiles affect design?
Color variation is the defining feature of Zellige. Even within the same batch, tiles may show different tones, shades, and surface textures. When installed, these variations create a stunning, shimmering “water-like” effect that brings depth and authenticity to the design. Designers often embrace this variation as the essence of Moroccan craftsmanship.
Are Zellige tiles durable?
Yes, Zellige tiles are durable for wall applications when properly installed. The glaze is resistant to water, staining, and heat. However, due to their handmade nature, edges can be slightly fragile, so careful handling during installation is important.
How do you clean and maintain Zellige tiles?
Zellige tiles are low-maintenance:
not required for glazed Zellige, but unglazed finishes may benefit from a penetrating sealer to prevent stains.
Do Zellige tiles require special installation techniques?
Yes. Because Zellige tiles are handmade and vary in size and thickness, they require experienced installers. Key points:
What grout should I use with Zellige tiles?
Many designers choose little-to-no visible grout to maintain Zellige’s organic character. If grout is used, unsanded grout in a neutral color (such as white, beige, or light gray) is recommended. The joints should be very thin, often less than 1/16”.
Are Zellige tiles environmentally friendly?
Yes. Zellige tiles are made from natural clay and mineral-based glazes, shaped by hand, and fired in kilns using traditional methods. This sustainable, small-batch production results in lower energy consumption compared to mass-produced tiles. Choosing Zellige supports artisanal craftsmanship and eco-conscious sourcing.
What shapes and sizes are available in Zellige tiles and mosaics?
Zellige tiles come in a wide range of formats beyond the classic square. Popular options include:
(2x2, 4x4)
(2x6, 3x6)
Why should I choose Zellige tiles for my project?
You should choose Zellige if you want:
luxury handcrafted finish that elevates interiors.
character, depth, and personality, unlike uniform factory tiles.
timeless design element that blends with traditional, modern, and eclectic styles.
authentic Moroccan artistry with every tile.

Porcelain Tiles
What are porcelain tiles?
Porcelain tiles are dense, durable ceramic tiles made from refined clay and fired at very high temperatures. This makes them harder, less porous, and more water-resistant than standard ceramic tiles.
How are porcelain tiles different from ceramic tiles?
Porcelain is denser and stronger than ceramic, with a water absorption rate of less than 0.5%. This makes it more resistant to stains, scratches, and moisture, and suitable for high-traffic and outdoor areas.
Where can porcelain tiles be used?
Porcelain tiles can be used in kitchens, bathrooms, floors, walls, backsplashes, commercial projects, outdoor patios, and even pool areas.
Are porcelain tiles durable?
Yes. Porcelain tiles are extremely durable, resisting scratches, chips, and heavy wear, making them ideal for high-traffic areas and commercial settings.
Are porcelain tiles water-resistant?
Yes. Porcelain has very low water absorption, making it perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and outdoor areas. Many are frost-resistant as well.
Do porcelain tiles require sealing?
No. Porcelain tiles are non-porous and do not require sealing. Only the grout lines may need sealing to prevent stains.
How do you clean and maintain porcelain tiles?
Porcelain is easy to maintain. Sweep or vacuum regularly, and mop with warm water and mild soap. Avoid waxes or abrasive pads.
Are porcelain tiles suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Many porcelain tiles are frost- and slip-resistant, making them excellent for patios, walkways, pool decks, and outdoor kitchens.
What finishes are available in porcelain tiles?
Porcelain tiles come in matte, polished, textured, glazed, and unglazed finishes, allowing flexibility for both design and performance.
Can porcelain tiles mimic natural stone or wood?
Yes. Thanks to digital printing, porcelain tiles can replicate marble, limestone, wood, or concrete while offering superior durability and low maintenance.
How does porcelain tile installation work?
Porcelain should be installed with a high-quality thin-set mortar. Because it is harder and heavier than ceramic, cutting requires a wet saw with a diamond blade. Professional installation is recommended.
Porcelain & Ceramic Tile Collection – Timeless Style & Unmatched Durability should I choose porcelain tiles for my project?

Ceramic Tiles
What are ceramic tiles?
Ceramic tiles are made from natural clay that is molded, glazed, and fired in a kiln. They are widely used for walls, backsplashes, and floors because they are versatile, affordable, and available in many colors and designs.
How are ceramic tiles different from porcelain tiles?
Ceramic tiles are less dense and more porous than porcelain. They are easier to cut and install, making them a great choice for DIY projects and decorative wall applications. Porcelain, on the other hand, is stronger, denser, and better for high-traffic or outdoor areas.
Where can ceramic tiles be used?
Ceramic tiles are popular for kitchens, bathrooms, walls, backsplashes, and light- to medium-traffic flooring. They are best suited for indoor use.
Are ceramic tiles durable?
Yes. While not as hard as porcelain, ceramic tiles are durable for everyday use in homes. With proper care, they can last for decades on walls and moderate-use floors.
Are ceramic tiles water-resistant?
Glazed ceramic tiles are water-resistant and work well in bathrooms, showers, and kitchens. However, because they are more porous than porcelain, they are not usually recommended for outdoor or freeze-thaw areas.
Do ceramic tiles need sealing?
Glazed ceramic tiles do not require sealing. However, unglazed ceramic tiles may need a sealer, and grout lines should always be sealed to prevent stains.
How do you clean and maintain ceramic tiles?
Ceramic tiles are easy to maintain. Wipe with mild soap and water, sweep or vacuum regularly, and avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners that may damage the glaze.
Can ceramic tiles be used outdoors?
Ceramic tiles are generally not recommended for outdoor use in cold climates because they can absorb water and crack in freeze-thaw conditions. For exterior projects, porcelain is usually the better option.
What finishes are available in ceramic tiles?
Ceramic tiles come in glossy, matte, textured, and patterned finishes, offering endless design possibilities. They are especially popular for decorative wall designs and backsplashes.
Are ceramic tiles eco-friendly?
Yes. Ceramic tiles are made from natural clay and can last a long time, reducing replacement waste. Many manufacturers also use recycled materials in their production process.
How are ceramic tiles installed?
Ceramic tiles are relatively easy to cut and install with thin-set mortar or tile adhesive. Because they are lighter and softer than porcelain, they are a common choice for DIY-friendly installations.
Why should I choose ceramic tiles for my project?
Ceramic tiles are affordable, stylish, and easy to maintain. They are perfect for homeowners who want a wide variety of designs, especially for walls, bathrooms, and kitchens, without the higher cost of porcelain or natural stone.
