But whether it is you or your tile installer that needs tips, Cle Tile recommends using a penetration sealer or grout release before grouting to avoid tile discoloration, an industry standard 1/16″ grout joint, and mixing your boxes of tile for a more uniform blending of color variation throughout the wall. The uneven size and edge can make it a harder job. This is a tile job you might want to hire out and skip the DIY. Tips for installation?

If you think this lack of uniformity will drive you crazy, or if you want a super crisp look, this is not the tile for you. Because of this you will see a lot of difference in color saturation, glaze thickness, and even size. The tiles are hand dipped in glaze and hand chiseled to size. Why is there so much variation in Zellige tile? Zellige tile is entirely handmade. This variation creates incredible depth in your space and feels like a work of art. Each piece varies slightly in color, texture, and even shape. It’s a glazed terracotta tile handcrafted in Morocco. Zellige tile is the beautiful glossy tile that we have been using in our projects.
