The following characteristics of Antique Zellige tiles are to be expected:
- Chips off the surface of the glaze exposing the clay beneath
- Terracotta exposed on the edges of the tile
- Dips in the surface of the tile
- Uneven edging of the tile
- Wide variation in color/shade between tile pieces
- Glaze pooling in areas of a tile
- Lime pops that expose the substrate of the tile
- Size and thickness variation from piece to piece
Variation between samples and tiles received is possible, as handmade techniques of glazing make shade and color variation an inherent part of the product. Samples received before shipments should be considered indicative of color only. Please see product brochure for full details on recommended usage of Antique Zellige tiles.
Wet Area Applications: Handcrafted Zellige tile may be installed in intermittent wet environments, including residential shower walls and shower floors, when installed as part of a properly designed and constructed tile assembly. Because long-term performance depends on factors beyond the tile itself—including substrate selection, waterproofing, drainage, setting materials, installation methods, movement joint placement, and maintenance—it is the responsibility of the design professional and installer to ensure the complete assembly complies with applicable manufacturer instructions and recognized industry standards. Failure of any component within the system may adversely affect the performance of the finished installation.
