Zellige Look Subway Tiles For Backsplash
INTRODUCING
Zellige Look Aveline Subway Tiles
Features of Zellige Look Subway Tiles for Backsplash
This glossy porcelain subway tile combines Old World aesthetics with contemporary durability. The zellige-inspired surface mimics the subtle variations and organic imperfections of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship, while porcelain construction delivers superior strength and moisture resistance.
Unlike standard ceramic options, porcelain offers denser composition and lower water absorption, making it ideal for high-humidity areas like shower walls and kitchen backsplashes. The aveline cotto shade adds earthy warmth without overwhelming minimalist or modern kitchen design schemes, and the glossy finish reflects light to visually expand smaller rooms.

Boundless Design Flexibility
One major advantage of subway tiles is their adaptability to various installation patterns. Lay them horizontally in classic brick bond for timeless appeal, or opt for vertical subway tile orientation to draw the eye upward and create the illusion of taller ceilings.
Herringbone subway tile arrangements add dynamic movement perfect for feature walls, while stacked patterns deliver clean, contemporary lines. These zellige look tiles work beautifully as full bathroom walls, partial kitchen backsplash accents, or dramatic shower wall tile displays. Their multiple pattern compatibility means you can match existing decor or experiment with fresh layouts.
Functional Advantages
- Scratch-Resistant Surface: Glossy porcelain withstands daily wear from cooking utensils and bathroom fixtures
- Low Maintenance: Non-porous material resists staining and wipes clean with minimal effort
- Moisture Barrier: Exceptional water resistance prevents mold growth in wet environments
- Color Stability: UV-resistant glaze maintains the aveline cotto hue without fading
- Thermal Durability: Handles temperature fluctuations near stoves and hot water sources
The glossy finish also makes grease and soap residue easier to remove compared to matte alternatives, keeping your backsplash looking fresh with routine cleaning.
