Zellige Tile White - HELP!

Caleigh Rasmussen

2 months ago

I'm really struggling with selecting the best white zellige tile for our kitchen and master bathroom.

Does anyone have examples or feedback on the following tiles?

- Cle Weathered White Zellige

- Cle Sea Salt Zellige

- Zia Pure White

Kitchen will be 2x6 zellige stacked. Next to Infinity White Quartzite Slab with stained cabinets and a dark grey hood.

Master bathroom will be 4x4 zellige stacked for the shower and walls surrounding master tub (see image below). Floor is a dark grey (concrete vibe) and while not directly next to the tile, but in the room, will be countertops that are a warm white granite with soft greys/taupe.

In person, the pure white looked best next to the infinity white quartzite slab and I'm concerned the weathered white may have too much variation (hearing pink/blue tones). But I only have one sample of each color. Please provide feedback!

I know this may not sound helpful, but the only way to get your answer is to get more samples! Order a few more from Cle and Zia (and Riad?) and ask them to send you a range of tones/tiles from different boxes.

Using photos, which have been color corrected, and other people's experiences in their other houses with other lighting and finishes and other batches of tile.... it will just make you crazy when what you need is to see them all together in YOUR space with your light and your stuff. Good luck!

@Raggio Sole..Love your kitchen.I am considering the sea salt like you used but am between that tile and Zia pure white.what .Would you say that the variation in the cle sea salt that you used is a lot of gray tones or some beigey tones?Some of your tiles look to have a peachy/pink under tone to me... the Zia tiles seems to have a brownish tone in a couple tiles from the 3 tile sample I received.I got four tiles in sea salt by cle and they are all pretty much a starker pure white that is why I am wondering what the predominant tone is seen with the varitaion tiles??I don't want my backsplash to look dingy like I think the Zia may end up looking but I don't want anything that ends up looking too stark white overall.Opinion is appreciated!

Can anyone who has installed zellige tile tell me if this is normal?

Who ordered and received the tiles? That’s who should have inspected them all, and reordered if they felt they were defective. Once they’re installed. There’s no recourse. You own the issue. It has nothing to do with the installation. It’s all in the tile. Tilers install what they are given. They don’t know what you ordered or how it “should” look. Just an FYI... This is a common, and often repeated, myth. It is not correct. You have a duty to limit the damages of other parties in a contract. You can't install tile that you suspect may be defective and pawn it off on someone else's duty to inspect the tiles. If a reasonable person in the profession and/or providing the services that you are performing would question the quality of materials being installed then you have an affirmative duty to stop work until you have verification. That duty is a staple of contract law in all U.S. states and most other countries.

Yes, tiles were completely done yesterday. I mentioned my displeasure within one hour of the tile crew leaving, but nobody returned, so I am assuming they wont easily come off now. I am meeting with the contractor tomorrow. Our nearest F and D said they have more tile on order, but it will be 2 weeks. That is why I was hoping to find a way to fix by removing individual tiles.
