All of our wood-fired Moroccan ceramic tiles are made using materials and techniques that have remained virtually unchanged for hundreds of years. These tiles are truly handmade. Typically, a batch of tiles with the same glaze from a single kiln will include a broad spectrum of different tones of the desired colour. These tonal variations are one of the characteristics that make these tiles so different from others produced today. Being entirely handmade, they are characterised by a slightly textured surface, with each tile differing from the next.
Our handmade Moroccan floor tiles are cut to their final size prior to firing, the most popular shapes being square, rectangular and octagonal. These shapes and others are made in various sizes. Unglazed (terracotta) tiles, once sealed, are suitable for indoors and out. Glazed tiles are not generally recommended for outdoor use except in areas protected from frost.
The images below show our unglazed ties (AN01 glazed natural AN01* unglazed and waxed) and the range of colours for all of our wood-fired ceramic tiles (AN13 - AN57). The bottom row of images show examples of the 'Dar' range of wood-fired ceramic floor tiles. However, we can have many other dimensions and shapes made to order.
