Fifty pieces come in a box for 5.56 square feet, and the 1\/2 inch body is thicker than a machine pressed tile of the same size would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade by hand, and it shows\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZellige is shaped and glazed by hand, which means every piece arrives slightly different: edges wander, faces ripple, and the glaze pools thicker in some places than others. On a black glaze those variations become very visible, because reflection maps every undulation. That is the reason to buy it and also the reason it will never look like a printed tile. Kitchen wall tiles in this style are usually chosen precisely for that irregularity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo two alike\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand shaping means edges and faces vary from piece to piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack shows everything\u003c\/strong\u003e Reflection on a dark glaze maps every ripple in the surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResidential interior walls is the rating recorded, kitchen the room. Thirteen boxes cover 60 square feet with cutting allowed. Handmade tile needs a setter who will work with the variation rather than fight it, since forcing irregular pieces into a rigid grid produces a worse result than letting the line breathe slightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThirteen boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.56 square feet a box across 60 square feet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLet the line move\u003c\/strong\u003e Irregular pieces look better set loosely than forced into a rigid grid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we chose it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine irregularity\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand made pieces give a wall depth that machine tile cannot copy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubstantial body\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch of clay behind the glaze at a small format.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo sealing\u003c\/strong\u003e The glaze protects the surface, so no sealer is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA household tile cleaner and a soft cloth keep the glaze clear.
