Authentic Earthy Charm: Medina Raw Rectangle Zellige Tile

Elevate your space with the beautifully artisanal Medina Raw 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, unglazed terracotta, each raw rectangular tile features wonderful undulations, characteristic pits, and beautiful earthy tonal variations. This rustic, handmade nature ensures that no two pieces are ever exactly alike, creating a truly bespoke surface that adds incredible warmth and texture to any space. The classic 5 x 15cm rectangular format is incredibly versatile; use it to create a characterful brick-bond splashback, a highly textured herringbone focal point, or an elegant heritage feature wall.

Engineered for durability while maintaining historic charm, these raw terracotta tiles are specifically suited for internal wall applications. Because of their unglazed finish, they require proper sealing to ensure longevity, making them an absolute favourite choice for bringing depth, authentic architectural character, and rustic warmth to modern living spaces and heritage homes alike.

⚠ 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: Crucial Step: As a raw, unglazed terracotta product, these tiles are highly porous. They must be thoroughly sealed with a suitable impregnating sealer before grouting to prevent staining. Maintain with specialized terracotta cleaners and avoid harsh, acidic 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 raw Moroccan Zellige tiles used for?

These beautifully authentic, handmade unglazed terracotta tiles are perfect for creating highly textured, character-rich feature areas. They are highly popular for adding warmth to living spaces, creating striking rustic kitchen splashbacks, and adding historic architectural 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 Raw Zellige tiles before grouting?

Yes, absolutely. Because these tiles have a raw, unglazed terracotta finish, they are extremely porous. You must apply a high-quality terracotta impregnating sealer prior to grouting to protect the tile surface and prevent the grout from staining the face of the tile. Regular re-sealing may be required as part of long-term maintenance.
