Product story

Slim, Earthy and Handmade: Medina Raw Rectangle Handmade Moroccan Zellige Tile

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

The slim 5 x 15cm Raw brick trades any glaze for pure, unfinished terracotta - a warm neutral clay that carries every mark of its making. Hand-formed in Fez and left unglazed, each tile ranges from pale buff to warmer clay tones, giving a laid wall genuine handmade depth.

Set in a stacked, brick-bond or herringbone layout, the rectangular format lends a relaxed, contemporary rhythm to feature walls, splashbacks and light-traffic floors. As a porous natural product, seal the Raw finish before and after grouting for lasting protection.

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.

Installation & Care Tips

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 surface.
  • 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 surface.
