Oukaimeden White Moroccan Zellige Tiles 5x15 cm

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

This red color will highlight cupboards and paintings, whether they are white or black. In the kitchen or in the bathroom, this zellige will bring an undeniable charm to your room.

Moroccan artisanal tiles
Moroccan zellige tiles are a completely artisanal product, they are made by hand. This covering is made of terracotta with a shiny colored enamel. The edges and the underside of the zellige tiles are irregular. Zellige is a unique and highly appreciated product because it is authentic and brings charm to the home.

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!

Bejmat, the art of customization
The intense black bejmat is part of the zelliges family but is differentiated by the fact that it is not recut. The name bejmat is a nod to Moroccan cakes in the shape of small bricks with anise and orange blossom. Its format is indeed rectangular, most often sold in dimensions 5x15 cm. Relatively resistant, it is often present in bathrooms, kitchen backsplashes or can be used as formwork for islands, bars, or swimming pool aprons. This rectangular format also allows for beautiful variations in poses and imagination: in checkerboards, in stairs, diagonally, in broken sticks, contrasting with white zelliges.

The unique and exceptional intense black bejmat!
The intense black rectangular bejmat is absolutely unique as it asserts a strong character with its mother-of-pearl, which takes on gray or ochre tones depending on the light. Don't be fooled by its apparent darkness because it doesn't darken spaces, it enhances them. While it is a welcome addition to contemporary, graphic and refined spaces, it also enhances bathrooms by giving them an exceptional, immediate class that transforms your old bathroom. This is the great asset of the bejmat: it doesn't just decorate, it radically changes the atmosphere. So intense black may seem like a bold move. In reality, it is a truly sophisticated and irresistible element!
