The WAD Checkerboard 2×2 Zellige Tile features a vibrant blue tone paired with a soft off-white contrast, inspired by Moroccan coastal landscapes and flowing water. The blue glaze ranges from fresh sky blue to deeper aquatic shades, creating natural depth and movement across the checkerboard pattern. Each zellige tile is handcrafted, showcasing subtle surface variations, organic glaze flow, and gently irregular edges that make every installation one of a kind.
This checkerboard layout brings a balanced rhythm to interiors, combining bold color with timeless geometry. The refreshing blue hue adds energy and clarity to a space while remaining elegant and versatile, making it suitable for both traditional Moroccan interiors and contemporary architectural designs. As with all authentic zellige tile, slight tonal shifts and texture variations are intentional and celebrate the handmade nature of the material.
The WAD Zellige Tile is suitable for residential and commercial applications, including high-traffic interior floors such as kitchens, primary bathrooms, and entryways, as well as low-traffic areas like guest bathrooms and bedrooms. It can be used on interior walls, including kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, and decorative feature walls, adding color and artisanal character.
For more demanding environments, this zellige tile is appropriate for shower walls and floors, including steam showers, and can also be installed in pools and spas, whether saltwater or chlorine. It is compatible with radiant heating systems and may be used on fireplace surrounds, excluding the interior firebox. For exterior use, the tile is suitable for exterior walls and outdoor floors in non-freeze climates.
