A box holds sixty pieces, coming to 6.67 square feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGlaze over hand cut clay\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTiles zellige of this kind are cut one at a time and glazed by hand, so chips, pits, uneven edges and a colour that swings within a single box all come with the tile. A brown glaze shows that more plainly than a pale one, since the thin places read lighter and the pooled places almost black. Gloss then puts a highlight on every uneven face. None of it is a defect, and a flat uniform surface is not what this material is for. Ordering a spare box is worth it, since a replacement bought later comes out of a different firing and will not match what is already up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand cut\u003c\/strong\u003e Edges, thickness and colour all vary piece to piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSixty a box\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.67 square feet, enough for a small run and spares.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacksplash is the rating on this tile, and the kitchen is the room given. Zellige on a kitchen wall is set with a tight joint of about a sixteenth of an inch, or nearly butted as tradition has it, with a dark or matching grout. Because thickness varies, butter the back of each piece and keep checking the face for level. Eleven boxes would be needed to cover 60 square feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTight joints\u003c\/strong\u003e About 1\/16 inch, or nearly butted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel as you go\u003c\/strong\u003e Uneven thickness is handled piece by piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we chose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e No two pieces repeat, and none were machine pressed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth in the glaze\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown pools dark and thins to a lighter tone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatching grout\u003c\/strong\u003e Chocolate Mousse unsanded is the listed companion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe glaze wipes down with ordinary tile cleaner.
