Preguntas frecuentes
What is Zellige tile?
Zellige (pronounced Zuh-leeje) is a historic, completely handmade Moroccan terracotta tile art form that dates back to the 10th century. True, authentic Zellige is crafted exclusively in the region of Fez, Morocco, using a unique local grey clay. The clay is mixed with water, hand-molded into squares, sun-dried, and then hand-dipped in natural enamel glazes. The tiles are then tightly stacked inside ancient, wood-fired kilns fueled by olive pits. Because the heat distributes unevenly throughout the kiln, no two Zellige tiles emerge looking exactly the same. Each tile boasts an entirely unique glaze thickness, a slightly warped shape, and a mesmerizing depth of color that shimmers dynamically under ambient light.
Why do Zellige tiles have uneven edges and color variations?
These variations are not defects; they are the highly celebrated, authentic characteristics of traditional Moroccan Zellige. Each tile is hand-molded from natural terracotta clay, sun-dried, hand-glazed, and fired in ancient wood-burning pits. The intense, uneven heat creates distinct shade variations (shade variation V4), minor chipping, pits, and structural warppage, giving your wall an unrivaled, light-reflecting, organic texture.
Do you use grout with Zellige tiles?
Traditionally, Zellige tiles are installed using a butt-joint method, meaning they are placed tightly against one another with virtually no grout space. However, because the tiles are handmade and uneven, small gaps will naturally occur. A fluid, non-sanded grout is then pressed deep into these microscopic seams to lock out moisture, rather than creating wide, distinct grid lines.
Are Zellige tiles waterproof enough for a shower backsplash?
Yes, the baked glass glaze on the face of a Zellige tile is entirely waterproof, making it a spectacular design option for shower walls and kitchen backsplashes. However, because of the tight butt-joint installation and natural micro-crazing on the glaze surface, installing a robust, professional waterproofing membrane (like a liquid or sheet membrane) behind the tile substrate is essential to protect the wall assembly over the long term.
