Which Zellige Tile?

4 years ago

I’m trying to decide which zellige tile I want to use for my kitchen backsplash. Cabinets will be a creamy white (natural cream), Island will be a dark stained oak, and counters will be a white quartz (leaning towards Mont Blanc or Bianco Superiore).
I’m trying to decide between Clé Weathered White, Riad Snow, or Zia Pure White. Anyone have pictures of these tiles to help me decide? I want to make what I pick isn’t too stark white or gray, I want a little creamy to tie into the cabinet colors. Thanks!

    Here is cle weathered white in my bathroom. The last pic is with windows covered in film and no natural light so prob a little darker than “normal”. It has shades of so many colors - grayish, bluish, pinkish. Personally, I felt the zia and riad you mention were too gray (could have been samples sent to me however). I have no idea if these go with your other selections :) also — make sure to have a skilled tiler with Zellige — I don’t think they necessarily have to have used it before but this is the time to make sure you have someone experienced with handmade tiles. The only one that is super white is the other cle white one — can’t remember the name now

    Also — I’m not sure if any of them are creamy. I have Calacatta marble floors and they have an off white undertone for reference. . The Zellige is prob technically gray but in person you see a lot of other variations

    I had zero problems with Cle 🤷🏻‍♀️ but my GC’s designer also ordered everything and dealt with all that. we have enough overage for another bathroom or kitchen backsplash lol. Very few (if any) had so many flaws we couldn’t use them, but I expected them to be chippy.

    Hi! Did you make a decision? I am doing bianco superiore quartzite, a white oak island in a mid tone and accessible beige cabinetry with a plaster hood (will be white dove in color). I am curious which tile you picked and how it came out.

    Hi all, I ended up going with the Cle Weathered White tile. The overall color is perfect, but I wasn’t super happy with the way the glaze was put on…there were heavy white streaks along the bottom of most tiles, I’m sure due to how they were set to dry. It was too much of a hassle an led expense to try to return so I just used them a way, and really I don’t notice much now. The heavy glaze kind of blends in with the grout lines. I also ended up with a different counter top than originally planned (went with quartz instead of quartzite). The quartz is on the creamier side which goes with these tiles, but I think they would look great with a whiter counter also.
