Bejmat

Characteristics of mustard yellow zellige
The shades of mustard yellow zellige are obtained by the concentration of iron oxides and the variation of the flames on the enamel during the second firing. It is also the result of the know-how of the craftsmen who measure and mix the different oxides to obtain a precise color and a unique shade. Indeed, the zelliges are made by hand and in a traditional way. The white clay of Fez, renowned for its great robustness, is kneaded with water then modeled, dried and cut into tesserae. These are fired a first time then enameled. Decorative and trendy, Moroccan zellige also pleases with its robustness and ease of maintenance. Not afraid of stains, humidity and heat, it has many qualities

Mustard yellow zellige brightens up rooms
When you see this mustard yellow, you might think that it is probably not easy to integrate... In reality, it is rather soft, warm and diffuses subtle nuances that never dazzle. This is what makes zelliges exceptional: their mother-of-pearl is never too bright, just a clever mix of reflections that, together, make up a magnificent canvas on your walls. This mustard yellow is that of Provence, mustard pots with black olives painted on them, but it is also the light that can be missing in kitchen corners or bathrooms, the joy that spreads and the looks instantly attracted by the cheerfulness of these small wall tiles. Energetic in a bathroom and warm in a kitchen, mustard yellow zellige is a peppy decoration and a beautiful confirmation of your personality!

The wine-coloured zellige is presented in this model in a rectangular format. It is called bejmat because it is reminiscent of Moroccan pastries with anise and orange blossom in the shape of a briquette! But the bejmat also has the characteristic of not being beveled on its edges. Not recut therefore, it gives off a raw and natural authenticity. Handmade, the wine-coloured zellige comes from the region of Fez, where the clay is extracted, mixed with water. The tesserae, once modeled, are fired at high temperature then enameled, using metal oxides, to which powders are sometimes added to obtain the desired shades. A double firing is thus essential because it is at this moment that the shades are revealed on their surface with natural irregularities and under the variable incandescence of the flames. The bejmat, under its fragile mother-of-pearl appearance, is therefore a tile resistant to heat and humidity. It is therefore the star of kitchen and bathroom wall coverings, but can also dress bathtub aprons, interior chimney jambs.

Refinement of wine-coloured bejmat
The wine-coloured bejmat is a deep red, close to Bordeaux red, which distils its elegant and noble mother-of-pearl on the backsplashes of your kitchens, the splashbacks of your bathrooms, pillars to embellish. The advantage of the bejmat format is that it offers many installation possibilities: staggered, checkered, staircase, herringbone, horizontal, diagonal. If you want a very graphic effect, we recommend a checkerboard or braided installation. If you like refinement, the retro and dynamic spirit of the herringbone will suit you. This is the immense asset of Moroccan zellige: it allows customization according to your tastes and the art of customization is the big trend!
