Custom Made Black Zellige Backsplash tiles are handcrafted, artisanal tiles that bring subtle elegance and texture to kitchen and bathroom spaces. Made in a timeless off-white hue, these tiles are perfect for creating a neutral, sophisticated backdrop that pairs beautifully with a wide range of design styles, from minimalist to rustic.
The slightly irregular surface of each tile, combined with a soft, luminous finish, reflects light in a way that adds depth and warmth to any room. Here’s how they can enhance different spaces:
-
Kitchens: As a backsplash, these black zellige tiles offer a classic, understated look that complements both modern and traditional kitchens. Their neutral tone harmonizes with a variety of countertop materials and cabinet finishes, while their easy-to-clean surface makes them a practical choice for high-use areas.

Bathrooms: Installed behind a vanity or around a bathtub, these tiles add a touch of elegance and a warm, inviting glow to bathroom spaces. Their water-resistant, high-gloss finish provides durability and easy maintenance in areas with moisture.
-
Accent Walls: For an accent wall in dining or living spaces, the black zellige tiles provide texture without overwhelming the decor. Their natural color and slight variations in tone create a soothing, cohesive look that enhances any space.

Delivery Terms & Conditions
1. Delivery Inspection
Please ensure that all products are carefully checked at the time of delivery. Any breakages or damages must be clearly stated on the delivery note. This is essential, as all deliveries are insured against damage, and doing so allows for a swift response from our customer service team.
Important: If you sign for a delivery without noting any damage, we reserve the right to refuse replacements or refunds for any broken items.
In case of damage:
- Inspect the delivery thoroughly
- If any items are damaged, mark the delivery note as "damaged" and sign it
- If you have not signed the delivery note "damaged", we reserve the right to refuse any replacements
- Inform us immediately of any damage at [email protected]
- We may request written confirmation of the issue within 48 hours of delivery
- Take digital photos of the damaged items and send them to us as soon as possible — these are necessary for processing insurance claims
If someone else is receiving the delivery on your behalf, they must be fully informed of these conditions.
2. Delivery Company & Site Access
All deliveries are subcontracted to national pallet networks, which operate through central hubs and independent local depots. As a result, Handtile cannot guarantee delivery on a specific date and cannot be held responsible for late deliveries or any delays or costs resulting from them.
At the time of your order, please inform us of any site restrictions that could affect delivery. Our delivery vehicles are typically large, and any obstructions should be cleared in advance. Please notify us of any potential issues including:
- Parking restrictions
- Congestion charges
- Narrow lanes or roads
- Slopes or steep driveways
- Height restrictions
- Weak or weight-limited bridges
You may be charged for redelivery if we are not informed of these in advance. We strongly recommend that you do not schedule tradespeople for installation on the delivery day, as Handtile will not be liable for any costs arising from delayed delivery.
3. Curbside Delivery
Please note that delivery drivers are not permitted to move products inside your property or site. All deliveries are curbside only and will be offloaded at the nearest suitable point to your address, which may be the roadside.
For orders over 150 sq ft, please be aware that larger pallets and heavier loads may be involved. You or someone on your behalf must be present to receive the delivery. If no one is available, the delivery will not be offloaded and additional redelivery charges will apply.
Please ensure all goods are checked upon delivery and that the delivery note is signed appropriately. Handtile will not accept claims if the delivery note is signed "unchecked."
4. Pallets & Crates
Your order will typically arrive on pallets or in crates, which are considered part of your delivery. Handtile is not responsible for removing pallets or crates from your site unless specifically agreed beforehand.
How It's Made
Crafted by hand and soul, our Mosaic Zellige Tiles are a tribute to ancient Moroccan artistry reimagined with a modern, curated edge. Each tile is hand-chiseled and glazed by master artisans in Fes using traditional methods passed down through generations.
The result? Perfectly imperfect surfaces that shimmer with rich tonal variation, depth, and warmth. Our mosaic collections blend timeless geometry with Handtile's bold, contemporary spirit — creating rhythmic compositions that elevate kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, and feature walls into spaces of soulful elegance. No two tiles are ever alike — and that's exactly the magic.
Product and Sample Orders
Despite our close attention to detail and strict packaging standards, breakages can occasionally occur during delivery. For this reason, we strongly recommend ordering at least 15% more tiles than your net area to allow for possible transit damage and any additional cuts required during installation.
Please note that we do not accept liability for damage, delays, or reshipment fees for orders placed without this recommended buffer. All sample orders are limited to four samples per tile. Orders exceeding this limit may be canceled and refunded.
Trade account holders, architects, designers, and other industry professionals are welcome to request up to 5 free samples.
Please note that all samples and showroom displays are intended as a general guide only and may not represent the exact appearance of the finished product due to variations in lighting, screen resolution, and material texture. We recommend always ordering a sample before committing to a full order to ensure the product meets your expectations.
