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.
