Authentic Charm: Medina Cloudy White Rectangle Zellige Tile

Elevate your space with the beautifully artisanal Medina Cloudy White Rectangle Zellige Tile from Fired Earth.

Introducing the Medina collection, a stunning range of authentic Moroccan Zellige tiles meticulously handcrafted using centuries-old traditional techniques. Made from rich terracotta and finished with a beautiful, soft cloudy off-white glaze, each rectangular tile features wonderful undulations, characteristic pits, and subtle, muted tonal variations. This rustic, handmade nature ensures that no two pieces are ever exactly alike, creating a truly bespoke surface that reflects natural light beautifully. The classic 5 x 15cm rectangular format is incredibly versatile; use it to create a characterful brick-bond splashback, a textured herringbone focal point, or an elegant heritage bathroom wall.

Engineered for durability while maintaining historic charm, these glazed terracotta tiles are specifically suited for internal wall applications, including kitchens and shower enclosures. Their timeless, highly tactile appeal makes them an absolute favourite choice for bringing depth and subtle elegance to modern living spaces and heritage homes alike.

  • Artisanal Finish - The authentic Zellige glaze is crafted with distinctive, historic imperfections to maintain the true, rustic beauty of Moroccan terracotta.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • Adhesive & Grout: Use a high-quality flexible tile adhesive. To achieve the authentic Moroccan look, Zellige tiles are traditionally laid closely together with a minimal 1-2mm grout joint (often butt-jointed), blending the uneven edges beautifully.
  • Layout Options: Use these beautifully handmade rectangular tiles in a traditional brick-bond, stacked vertically for a more contemporary look, or in a striking herringbone pattern.
  • Cleaning & Sealing: We highly recommend applying an impregnating sealer prior to grouting to protect the characteristic pits and unglazed edges. Maintain the glazed finish easily with warm water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate how many Fired Earth Medina Rectangle tiles I need?

Because each Medina rectangular tile is approximately 5x15cm, you will need roughly 133 tiles to cover one square metre. Simply calculate your total required square meterage (adding an additional 10-15% for cuts and natural wastage due to the handmade nature of the tile), and multiply by 133 to find out how many tiles you need to order.

What are Moroccan Zellige tiles used for?

These beautifully authentic, handmade terracotta tiles are perfect for creating highly textured, character-rich feature areas. They are highly popular for enhancing bathroom walls, creating striking rustic kitchen splashbacks, and adding historic charm to any interior wall space. They offer an incredibly unique aesthetic where no two tiles are exactly the same.

Are these handmade tiles suitable for bathrooms and showers?

Yes. These premium glazed terracotta tiles are fully suitable for internal wet and dry wall areas, including shower enclosures. Their stunning undulating surfaces reflect light beautifully, making them an ideal choice for adding a refined, spa-like feel to heritage and modern bathrooms alike.

Do I need to seal Fired Earth Medina Zellige tiles before grouting?

Yes. Due to the authentic, handmade nature of Moroccan Zellige, there are often subtle chips, pits, and unglazed edges. We highly recommend applying a light coat of an impregnating sealer prior to grouting to protect the tile surface and prevent grout from sitting in the natural crevices.
