Moroccan tiles, also known as zellige tiles, are one of our favorite tile styles to emerge in the past few years. Chic and artisanal, they have a timeless, handmade quality that adds an element of charm to kitchens and bathrooms. Nevertheless, it can be difficult to find the right zellige tiles for your home. They can range from minimalist white tiles to vibrant mosaic tiles with intricate, geometric patterns. At Country Floors, we offer a range of high-quality, gorgeous Moroccan zellige tiles available to shop online and in stores.

Why Our Zellige Tiles Are The #1 Highest Quality In The US
Country Floors offers alluring artisanal zellige tiles hand-made in Morocco. Compared to other Zellige tile distributors in the US, our zellige tiles stand out due to our meticulous three-stage quality control:
1. Clay Quality: All of our clay is rigorously tested to be free of lime presence. Any lime present in the clay can disrupt the surface, so it is imperative that any lime reside is removed.
2. Glazing: We ensure that the tiles are properly glazed to bring out the vibrant colors of the tile and to prevent chipping during use. Any tiles with hazy colors, which indicate improper application, are removed during this process.
3. Tile cutting: Our master craftsmen meticulously cut the Zellige to perfection, ensuring a sophisticated finish. Any imperfect cuts are eliminated to ensure clean, straight lines.
