Bejmat tiles are traditional Moroccan tiles with a history dating back centuries. They are particularly popular in Islamic architecture and constitute an important element of Moroccan ceramic craftsmanship. Bejmat tiles come from the same tradition as the world-famous zellige tiles, but differ in shape and installation technique. Initially used in palaces, mosques, and the homes of wealthy merchants, today they are widely used in modern interior design. Tiles most often come in a 15x5 cm format and have a matte or slightly glossy surface. Thanks to their durability and aesthetics, they are suitable for a variety of spaces: kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and living rooms. The tiles also look phenomenal in public spaces such as restaurants, hotels, and boutiques.
Zellige tiles can be installed in a variety of ways:
- Parallel layout – tiles laid parallel to the walls, one next to the other.
- Brick layout (1/2 offset) – each successive line is offset by half the length of the tile.
- Brick Layout (1/3 Offset) – Each line is offset by 1/3 of the tile length.
- Vertical Layout – Tiles arranged vertically instead of horizontally.
- Herringbone Layout – Arranged at a 45° or 90° angle, creating a herringbone effect.
- Basket Layout – Tiles arranged in groups of two or four, resembling a basket weave.
