Bejmat tiles are unique, hand-made tiles from Morocco, which have been decorating local homes, palaces and mosques for centuries. They are characterized by a rectangular shape with standard dimensions of 15x5 cm and a unique, raw finish that adds authentic charm to interiors.
The tradition of producing Bejmat tiles dates back to the 12th century and is closely related to Moroccan ceramic craftsmanship. The production process includes hand-forming clay, drying in the sun and then firing in wood-fired kilns. This makes each tile unique, and its irregular surface and subtle differences in color testify to the authenticity of hand-made workmanship. It is worth emphasizing that the technique of producing Bejmat tiles is passed down from generation to generation, making them not only an element of decor, but also a carrier of a rich tradition.
Although both types of tiles are rooted in Moroccan craftsmanship, they differ in many ways. Bejmat, with its regular, brick-like shape and solid thickness, is perfect not only as a material for walls, but also for floors. Its unique finish gives interiors a raw, authentic character. On the other hand, Zellige, with irregular edges and a thinner structure, is more often chosen for wall decoration. The glossy, glazed surface of these tiles adds shine and elegance to rooms. The differences in finishing techniques emphasize the unique character of each of these Moroccan treasures.
Bejmat tiles are extremely versatile and can be used on both floors and walls. Their durability and resistance to moisture make them perfect for kitchens, bathrooms and hallways. The rich palette of colors - from natural earth tones to intense colors - allows you to create unique patterns and compositions that will give the interior a unique character. Bejmat tiles blend in perfectly with various interior design styles, from rustic to modern.
Bejmat tiles are relatively easy to care for. They should be cleaned regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using aggressive chemicals that can damage the surface of the tiles.
