Buy Zellige Tiles Online
Handmade Zellige and Bejmat tiles celebrate the beauty of individuality and imperfection. No two tiles are identical, meaning there are subtle variations in the shade, thickness, and texture of each tile. Tile samples are available for purchase online so you can experience the all-important look and feel of the tile in your home.
Our Zellige Tiles Range
Crafted using a traditional hand-moulded clay technique, our Zellige tiles are carefully shaped and finished for hand-glazing. This careful process ensures each tile has a unique finish.
Benefits of Zellige Tiles
Handcrafted with traditional methods, these tiles showcase a unique character and a naturally organic aesthetic. A high-gloss, reflective glaze enhances their character, making them ideal for splashbacks or feature walls. Made from natural clay, they offer a durable, versatile, and eco-friendly tile choice that complements a variety of interior spaces.
Available Sizes and Finishes
Available sizes for ABI Interiors’ Zellige tiles include 100x50, 100x100, and 150x50. We offer rectangular and square tiles in a broad variety of colours, including biscuit, bone, cherry, desert rose, fern, forest green, latte, pearl, powder blue, black raven, and saffron yellow.
These tiles showcase organic edges complemented by a refined satin finish.
Why Choose Zellige Tiles?
Combining artistry with practicality, Zellige tiles are a standout choice for those seeking both character and performance. Handcrafted using traditional techniques, each tile features subtle variations in colour, texture, and shape, creating a richly organic and one-of-a-kind finish that adds depth and visual interest to any space.
Finished with a high-gloss glaze, these tiles offer excellent water resistance. When properly sealed, they are suitable for splashbacks, feature walls, and wet areas. Their natural clay composition makes them a sustainable and durable choice for enriching your interiors.
Applications and Inspiration
With their Moroccan heritage and geometric patterns, Zellige tiles bring a distinctive mix of tradition and effortless character to any space. This boutique tile is further distinguished by its irregularities and shiny surface. We recommend installing them edge-to-edge with minimal to no grout lines for a seamless look. Their handcrafted appeal and luminous finish make them a popular choice for both traditional and modern applications, including feature walls, backsplashes, and water features. The artistic hallmark and cultural heritage of Zellige tiles continue to inspire contemporary designers, who use them to create spaces rich in texture, history, and visual intrigue.
Zellige Tile Installation and Maintenance
To preserve their appearance and durability, we recommend alternating between regular and deep cleaning to remove ingrained dirt and grime from Zellige tiles. Use warm water, a pH-neutral cleaner, and a mop with a soft head for safe and effective cleaning. Always patch-test the cleaner in a discreet area before applying it more broadly. For deep cleaning, pre-soak the tiles, apply the cleaning solution, and allow it to sit for a few minutes to loosen dirt and stains before scrubbing gently. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove any cleaner residue. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the correct cleaner-to-water ratio to avoid potential damage.
