Project 01 · Moroccan zellige backsplash
The preparation behind a handmade zellige backsplash
Materials & details: Handmade tile, individually sorted and cleaned
This Orlando client selected Aesthetic Tile for its experience with Moroccan zellige. The handmade material arrived with irregularities that called for individual attention before setting.
Each tile was sorted and vetted, and the back was cleaned before installation. The process photo shows an individual tile back, while the completed backsplash shows the material's subtle variation beside the sink and beneath the cabinetry.
The client also provided concept art. It is shown separately and labeled as a concept so the design reference can be compared with the completed installation.
