Description

Pale Leather, Linear Ease: Medina Leather Pale Rectangle Handmade Moroccan Zellige Tile

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

The slim 5 x 15cm brick brings the warm, tonal tan of Leather Pale to a linear silhouette. Hand-glazed in Fez, its undulating faces and gentle tonal drift lend stacked and herringbone layouts a soft, natural warmth.

A versatile, understated backdrop for kitchens and bathrooms. Glazed terracotta for interior walls and light-traffic floors; seal before and after grouting.

The Hyperion Family Promise

  • Design Continuity: Part of our curated Medina Zellige range, so a single artisanal palette can flow across walls, splashbacks and floors.
  • Premium Durability: Kiln-fired terracotta with a hand-applied glaze, made for years of everyday interior use when correctly sealed.
  • Order a Sample: Free to collect from our Ascot showroom, or posted to your door for a small postage charge, so you can judge the colour and glaze in your own light.
  • Dedicated Delivery: Enjoy free UK delivery on all orders over £1,000.
  • Personalised Project Support: Sold per tile, with approximately 133 pieces covering each square metre. Our team can help you calculate quantities and allow for cuts and wastage.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • 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.

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.
