Zellige Tile Collection — Handmade Moroccan Terracotta

Luminous glaze. Organic edges. Authentic craft. Our Zellige tiles are hand-cut and hand-glazed by artisans in Morocco, creating a uniquely reflective surface with subtle shade variation and irregular edges. From kitchen backsplashes to full-height feature walls, Zellige delivers depth, texture, and timeless character.

Why Choose Zellige

  • Authentic craftsmanship: Hand-cut terracotta body with artisanal glaze and natural variation.
  • Light-catching finish: Slight undulation + glossy glaze bounce light for a lively, dimensional surface.
  • Versatile formats: Classic 4"x4" and 2"x6", plus specialty mosaics (Cross/Star & Cross).
  • Designer palette: Curated neutrals and rich tonal hues that pair beautifully with stone and wood.

Best Applications

  • Walls & Backsplashes: Kitchens, bars, dining nooks, and feature walls.
  • Bath & Showers (walls): Spa-like texture and movement (proper waterproofing required).
  • Fireplace Surrounds & Niches: Add artisanal depth to focal points.

Installation & Care

  • Expect size/edge/shade variation — dry-lay and blend boxes to balance tones.
  • Use non-staining white thin-set; cut slowly with a fine diamond blade.
  • Grout lines may be sealed; the glossy glaze typically does not require sealing.
  • Clean with pH-neutral cleaners; avoid abrasives and acids.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is Zellige suitable for shower walls?
    Yes — when properly waterproofed. Not recommended for floors.
  • How much variation should I expect?
    Variation in tone, crazing, and edges is part of authentic Zellige. Blend tiles before install.
  • What grout color works best?
    Soft white or light gray complements the glaze; test a small area first.
