We're doing this exact same tile in our bathroom! It has such a unique look you just can't get from standard tile. Everyone loves it when they see it. Yours looks absolutely phenomenal!!! It brings a new level of character and "upscale- ness" to the room ❤
I want you to have more subscribers! Nice tile install, but more impressively, you did a great job putting this story together to make it interesting. I like.👍
It looks soooooooooooooo good!! I did my kitchen in the same. Had a panic attack in the beginning because it looks rough in the start. But be brave, cause the end product is so worth it. Nice job.

We encourage you to explore the countless applications of our versatile product and experience its exceptional performance. ☺
@@Drewdoode We're getting ready to put it in our kitchen (backsplash/wall) this week, first time with this type of tile. I live near LA and bought from Zia, the 4 inch squares. I accidentally found your great video yesterday!
Justo estoy trabajando en un proyecto igual pero ya lo he echo megusto tu video te quedo muy bien.👍👍👍 I'm just working on a similar project but I already did it I liked your video it turned out very well 👍👍👍
so so worth it, if one can afford it and has the patience to install it. An affordable option, though you won't get the unevenness authentic Zellige offers, is Amagansett tile, by Ivy Hill, offered at home depot. It's limited colors, but it has that opalescence and uneven tile face to it. I used it in my bathroom and it's stunning. The other thing is, to give that Zellige look, it to stack the tile like you did, not where one tile is laid over the seam below the two tile below(like you typically lay brick). I love Zellige and it does come in some incredible colors. It's timeless elegance.
I’ll have to check out the Amangansett tile. I think you’re describing 50% overlay pattern right? I think that would def help create some unevenness and texture!
We're in the process of kitchen reno now and we decided to go with Zillege 4x4, or at least we want to. But seeing this finished product, it's gorgeous and all but can't imagine cleaning it will be fun. Maybe easier to clean in the bathroom where you can water jet it, but in the kitchen grease, hmmm. Maybe not.
We were actually just talking about the same thing. We were considering it as a backsplash in the kitchen but decided otherwise due to the challenges of cleaning grease off it. It’s possible just challenging for sure.
Your bathroom turned out great! How do you find the day to day maintenance for zellige? Does the unevenness make cleaning difficult? I’m worried about water settling in the uneven spaces causing mould growth. But it looks amazing!
Please tell me this is your second or third channel; I don't think I've ever come across a YTr with such high content production quality and yet fewer than 500 subs!
Since zellige is natural and porous it absorbs water. If you don’t soak. It’ll absorb water out of the thinset causing it to be too dry once placed on the wall and it won’t be as strong of a bond.
I had a question! How was cutting the tiles on the finishing edge of the shower? Was it difficult to do / does the tile break easily? Thanks!! Love the way it turned out ! I should be installing mine in the next month 😊
It wasn't too bad at all actually. Occasionally the the edges chipped and we had to redo but overall it came out pretty cleanly most of the time. My tile saw is the table push type. That might have helped some.
@@funtimesindeed if you’re okay with the look you may want to consider using grout lines which will help with the unevenness. It will just take more time. You can find tiles with similar thicknesses and also push more or less into the thinset to get it even. The look is amazing on the floor!
Hey! I've tried calling the tile manufacturer but they don't have any answers for me. Maybe you can help: I'm installing zellige tile around a fireplace hearth. Small square footage. low traffic. The subfloor is concrete so I have to use a Ditra membrane. I'm assuming this is ok with such a thick tile? My second question is: how thick of a mortar bed is appropriate for these thick tiles? Its amazing how little info is out there and I feel like this is more like masonry then tile. TIA!
@@funtimesindeed Hey there is definitely not a lot of info out there and a lot of tilers won’t even install zellige. I’m totally down to help! So if you have concrete subfloor you actually don’t need the ditra. Since concrete doesn’t flex like wood subfloor it can be installed directly onto the concrete. Using ditra is fine too though. Thick tile shouldn’t matter on the ditra or concrete subfloor. Ditra just requires tile larger then 2x2 I believe. We used a 1/4”x1/4” square notch trowel. We back buttered as well. I think any smaller may not get coverage. And larger not needed.
Zellige isn't overrated but I think that by using one color you're ultimately limiting yourself in what you can do and are missing why zellige is so highly prized. I'm not saying that you need to make an intricate mosaic for you shower, but I think the monochromatic design trend that is seen a lot in western countries, particularly America, is overrated to the point of being pretentious.
@@jonathanschirripa584 it’s up to you but we chose to do no grout lines to create more of the unevenness and more texture. Riad tile instructions actually say that usually they’re installed with no grout lines. As long as it’s authentic zellige and not ceramic.
As an installer, I think its over rated. And insanely expensive as well. $25 - $40 a square foot from the ones I have installed. Dramatically longer install time. uneven edges that will for sure slice you up Bad if one should slip in the shower and hit anything on those cheese grater edges. Unless you plan on using a smoothing stone on every single one. Probably the first thing that gets ripped out and re done after someone else buys a home. If this is your forever, sure. Do Not install this if you think it will add resale value.

Hehehe thanks for watching!
Looks great, guys! Nice work. 👍🏼
Thank you sir! You need to come check it out one of these days.
Stunning! What flooring and shower pan did you use?
Which marble is that on the pony wall?
We used a schluter base for the shower pan and then put tile over it. The pony wall is calacatta monet.
My hands were dry as shit from yesterday 😂
Haha the thinset dries them out lol
@@iph2 why
Great video!!! Looks amazing!!!
Thanks so much!!! Zellige just adds so much character.
It looks amazing. Clearly so much more work but you can see it was a labor of love 👏🏽 What tile saw did you use?
So tired by the end of it but the look is 😍. We have the Kobalt 7” sliding tile saw. The sliding feature is nice.
great videos. how is that kobalt saw working out?
Yes it is! Works good! The sliding table takes some adjusting to get square but after that it’s solid.
Gorgeous!
Thanks so much!
You did an awesome job. What grout brand and color did you use? Thanks!
I used Mapei Ultracolor FA in the color alabaster. Let me know if you have any other questions.

so beautiful! thanks for the helpful tips :)
Thanks so much! Love zellige tile.
Beautiful! I just wonder how the gloss stands up to hard water though with time. Any insight on that? Nevertheless - gorgeous
Thanks so much! I have no insight on this yet as we haven’t had it long enough. I’ll let you know after we get some more use.
Hey, kinda weird question but do you do anything special for your hands? Where’s M!?!?
Amazing job!
😂🤣
Please tell me this is your second or third channel; I don't think I've ever come across a YTr with such high content production quality and yet fewer than 500 subs!
First channel! I just love the filmmaking process! Thank you!
The cinematography is way too good. It’s almost distractingly good for a home improvement video. 😂 Why hasn’t Hollywood recruited this guy yet?
Am doing those tile but square ones if tile is your trade takes time get use to all the imperfections
@@gustavouribe518 not much time.
Why do you have to soak it? Is that with only zellige? Or any tiles?
Since zellige is natural and porous it absorbs water. If you don’t soak. It’ll absorb water out of the thinset causing it to be too dry once placed on the wall and it won’t be as strong of a bond.
love your videos, very cinematic. can you make a video about marble slabs installation in shower walls ? thanks! new sub here 🙋🏽♀
Hello!! Thanks so much for the support! If we do another shower I would love to do that project.
Did not expect the Moroccan tiles to turn out that good.
Especially when the standard is flat and even. Haha we love it. Thanks dude!
I had a question! How was cutting the tiles on the finishing edge of the shower? Was it difficult to do / does the tile break easily? Thanks!! Love the way it turned out ! I should be installing mine in the next month 😊

How has maintenance been? Easy to clean?
Not too bad. I want to try and use an electric scrubber brush on it. Maybe I should make a video on it.
We’d love that!
Any tips for zellige on a small floor? I can only find videos from ppl who install on a wall.
Hey! Are you looking to get it even with no lippage or you want the texture and uneven look?
@@Drewdoode id like to make it pretty even.
But I understand there will be some lippage
@@funtimesindeed if you’re okay with the look you may want to consider using grout lines which will help with the unevenness. It will just take more time. You can find tiles with similar thicknesses and also push more or less into the thinset to get it even. The look is amazing on the floor!

I see the art in having a mosaic style zellige for sure. Does not fit our style but I can appreciate the art.
One word. STUNNING! Everything else is so cookie cutter. Looking forward to the install of your fixtures.
Hey thank you so much. Definitely a different look. We were a little shocked at first but we love it.
Brizo fixtures coming!
What was your spacing?
No spacing. I put them right up against each other.
@@Drewdoode our tiles just arrived! So that means no grouting between?
@@jonathanschirripa584 it’s up to you but we chose to do no grout lines to create more of the unevenness and more texture. Riad tile instructions actually say that usually they’re installed with no grout lines. As long as it’s authentic zellige and not ceramic.
So meticulous! So perfect yet imperfect - hah!
Thanks dude!!!
Cleaning? How expensive?
We clean ourselves so it’s relatively cheap. Just the price of scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner. Not too difficult to clean either.
I WILL DO THAT TO MY BATHROON...I LOVE THE ZELLIGE TILES.
They add so much depth! Good luck 😊
I think now there are tons of common ceramics that imitates Zellige and make no difference.
Def a lot of good replicas out there.
As an installer, I think its over rated. And insanely expensive as well. $25 - $40 a square foot from the ones I have installed. Dramatically longer install time. uneven edges that will for sure slice you up Bad if one should slip in the shower and hit anything on those cheese grater edges.

that lazer level saved your ahh tho
@@disturbedmushroom_Live at least there’s that!
got job
Thanks so much!
yeah, no
We don’t think so either.
Just buy WOW tiles. Problem solved.
WOW tiles FTW
@@Drewdoode gonna do my kitchen next week with WOW Potters
sorry but it looks like some shiat bathroom somewhere in soviet russia
Public or in a home?
tried to make a point
@@Drewdoode
1 would joint it a bit bigger ,lose a lot of the sharp edges with a bigger joint .
Larger joint less variation and texture for sure.
