ATFEL Checkerboard 2×2 Zellige Tile

The ATFEL Checkerboard 2×2 Zellige Tile features a warm, earthy color palette inspired by Moroccan sand, clay, and sun-washed landscapes. Its soft natural tones are balanced with an off-white contrast, creating a timeless checkerboard pattern that highlights the handcrafted beauty of traditional zellige. Subtle glaze variations, gentle surface movement, and slightly irregular edges give each tile a unique artisanal character, ensuring that no two installations are exactly alike.

Designed for versatility, this checkerboard zellige tile can be used across a wide range of residential and commercial spaces. It is well suited for high-traffic interior floors such as kitchens, primary bathrooms, and entryways, as well as low-traffic areas including guest bathrooms and bedrooms. The tile also performs beautifully on interior walls, making it an excellent choice for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, and decorative feature walls.

For more demanding environments, the ATFEL zellige tile is suitable for shower walls and floors, including steam showers, and can be used in pools and spas, whether saltwater or chlorine. It is also compatible with radiant heating systems, allowing it to be installed over heated floors without compromising performance.

In exterior applications, this tile can be installed on exterior walls and façades, as well as outdoor floors in non-freeze climates. However, it is not recommended for exterior floors exposed to freeze or thaw conditions, such as snow or ice. The tile may also be used around fireplace surrounds, though it should not be installed inside the firebox.

As with all authentic zellige, sealing is required to protect the surface and ensure long-term durability. Natural color variation and texture are intentional and contribute to the depth, warmth, and authenticity that define handcrafted Moroccan zellige.
