Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is 'leather pale' colour?

Leather pale is a sophisticated warm neutral inspired by aged leather - warmer than beige but softer than tan. It ranges from honey to biscuit tones with subtle variations in each tile. This versatile colour works with both warm and cool palettes, making it perfect for any design style. Similar to our other neutral tiles.

How much variation should I expect between tiles?

As authentic handmade tiles, expect natural variations in size (±2-3mm), colour tone (from light honey to deeper caramel), and surface texture. These variations are desirable and create the authentic, living surface that makes Zellige special. We recommend mixing tiles from different boxes during installation.

Can these tiles be used on floors?

Yes, suitable for light-traffic residential floors. The glazed surface provides some slip resistance, especially with proper sealing. However, they're primarily designed for walls where their beauty can be fully appreciated. For high-traffic floors, consider our porcelain alternatives or dedicated floor tiles.

What's the minimum order quantity?

Minimum order is 0.5m² (50 tiles). We recommend ordering 10-15% extra to allow for cuts, breakage, and future repairs. Sample tiles are available for £3.50 including delivery to help you see the colour and quality before ordering.
