Description
Sculptural Luxury: The Dimensional White Zellige
Transform your walls into a topographical masterpiece with our Moroccan Zellige Belen in pure white - where sculptural texture meets luminous light.
The Medina Pure White Belen is a departure from the ordinary. Utilising the traditional "Belen" technique, these 10x10cm tiles feature a heavily textured, undulating surface. This allows the pure white glaze to pool in deep "valleys" and thin out on the "peaks," creating a stunning play of light and shadow. Individually hand-moulded in Fez, Morocco, these Zellige tiles offer a 3D effect that brings a tactile, organic energy to white walls. If you are looking for a white tile with maximum character and architectural depth, the Belen finish is the ultimate choice.

⚠️ Professional Installation Required
Due to the significant depth and varying thickness of the Belen surface, expert fixing is required.
- Butter the back: Ensure full adhesive coverage to account for thickness variations.
- Grout Care: Use a sponge to carefully clean the "valleys" of the tile during grouting.
- Sealing: Essential! The textured surface has more recesses; use a penetrating sealer to make cleaning easy.
- Overage: We recommend 20% overage for Belen tiles to allow for creative blending.
Design & Styling Ideas
- The "White on White" Look: Mix these with the flat Pure White Square for a subtle contrast of textures.
- Shadow Play: Install lighting directly above or below the tiles to emphasise the 3D surface.
- Warm Industrial: Contrast the artisanal white with metallic accents or concrete-effect floors.
🧹 Care & Maintenance
Daily Care: Use a soft brush or microfiber cloth with pH-neutral cleaner. Because dust can settle in the peaks and valleys, regular light cleaning is recommended.
Long-term Beauty: Reseal your Zellige annually, especially in shower areas, to keep the white glaze bright and stain-resistant.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes 'Belen' different from standard Zellige?
Standard Zellige is relatively flat with gentle shimmer. **Belen** is intentionally sculptural, with high and low points that allow the glaze to pool, creating a three-dimensional landscape on your wall.
Is it harder to clean than flat tiles?
The surface is uneven, but the high-gloss glaze is non-porous. As long as the tile is properly sealed, dirt wipes away easily. We recommend using a soft-bristled brush for any build-up in the deeper valleys.
