Product story

Soft, Clouded and Serene: Medina Cloudy White Square Handmade Moroccan Zellige Tile

Authentic handmade Moroccan Zellige from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

Cloudy White is a gentler, more romantic white - an off-white glaze veiled with soft grey clouding that pools and lightens across each hand-glazed square. Made in Fez at 10 x 10cm, the tiles carry the tonal movement and surface undulation that give Zellige its quiet, handmade beauty.

Its muted character warms contemporary and period interiors alike, softening bathrooms and kitchens without stark brightness. Glazed terracotta for interior walls and light-traffic floors; seal before and after grouting.

Specifications

Colour: Cloudy White (a soft off-white with gentle grey clouding)

Installation & care

Adhesive & Grout: Fix with a suitable flexible tile adhesive and allow 2-3mm joints for the handmade edges. A pale, coordinating grout flatters the glaze.
Layout Options: Looks beautiful stacked, brick-bonded or laid in herringbone. Mix tiles from several boxes as you work for a naturally balanced finish.
Cleaning & Sealing: Seal before and after grouting, then wipe clean with a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh or acidic products that can dull the glaze.

Samples

Tone, glaze and veining all read differently in your own light. Cut samples are free — sample postage is £4.99 (£8 for Original Style) and we refund it on tile orders over £50 with the code we email you. Our family-run team is happy to check quantities and finishes with you on 01344 620211.

Delivery

In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.

Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

When your order arrives

Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.

Returns

Unused, complete orders can be returned within 14 days of delivery; as tiles are picked and packed to your quantity, a restocking fee of 20–30% applies depending on the range. Fired Earth ranges are returned through Fired Earth’s own returns process, and special-order items are non-returnable unless damaged on delivery or faulty. Ordering a free sample first is the simplest way to avoid a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose square over other Zellige formats?

Square is the most versatile and traditional format. Works in any pattern from simple grids to complex geometrics. Easier to calculate quantities and plan installations. Simpler to cut and fit around obstacles. Allows for future modifications or repairs. The classic format that's been proven over centuries. Perfect when you want authenticity with flexibility.

How much variation is normal?

Handmade means every tile is unique. Expect 2-3mm size variations, irregular edges, colour shifts from white through pearl to grey, surface undulations, and glaze thickness variations. These aren't defects but evidence of authentic craftsmanship. The square format provides structure within organic variation. Embrace these differences as the soul of Zellige.

Can I create patterns with square Zellige?

Absolutely! Square format is the foundation for traditional Moroccan patterns. Create geometric designs using multiple colours. Simple checkerboards or complex tessellations. The cloudy white works as field or accent. Traditional patterns have symbolic meanings worth researching. Modern interpretations offer unlimited possibilities. The square format makes pattern planning straightforward.

Is square Zellige suitable for floors?

Yes, with considerations. Traditional Zellige has been used on floors for centuries. Requires proper sealing for protection. Consider slip resistance in wet areas. The handmade variations create natural grip. Higher traffic areas need more maintenance. Many prefer walls for pristine preservation. Consult professionals for floor applications.

Can I mix handmade with machine-made tiles?

Possible but challenging. Handmade variations contrast sharply with uniform tiles. Size differences complicate installation. The character difference is immediately obvious. Better to embrace fully handmade or fully machine-made. If mixing, use as deliberate contrast rather than trying to blend. Many find once they use handmade, machine-made seems lifeless.

How do I calculate quantities needed?

Add 15-20% to measured area for handmade tiles. Higher wastage than machine-made due to variations. Complex patterns require more excess. Consider keeping spares for future repairs. Professional installers can advise quantities. The square format makes calculations simpler than irregular shapes. Order all tiles together for consistency.
