Moroccan White Moroccan Colourful Mosaic Zellige Tile. Each one is hand-chiselled, dried and kiln fired before an enamel glaze is applied by hand. are handcrafted natural clay tiles glazed in a wide range of vibrant colours? Zellige tiles are unique and amaze you by reflecting various tones under different light conditions and times of the day. Zellige production is labour-intensive. Each one is hand-chiselled, dried and kiln fired before an enamel glaze is applied by hand. This process means that each Zellige tile has a unique, irregular finish, and no two are the same, which will add attractiveness and unique style to any interior design. Handmade Size: Mesh size: Approximately 28cm x 28cm x 1.1cm (as shown in product image) Suitable for: Indoor, Outdoor, Floors, Walls Delivery: 3-4 business days Order Information: Minimum 3 square meter. Due to the raw materials and timeless methods of making Zellige tiles, you will receive tiles that are pitted through the glaze and about 20% of which will contain cracks, crazing and edge-chipping. These tiles are perfectly fine to be installed and will give the traditional Zellige finish. If you don’t wish to have these imperfections, we recommend ordering 20%-30% more tiles. Each kiln firing process creates a meaningful degree of colour variation in this product. Please GET A QUOTE, if you are ordering outside the UK or more than 30m2
