A Moroccan tile art form dating back 1,000 years, Zellige and Bejmat tiles celebrate the natural beauty of the clay.\u00a0Unlike machined tile, exquisite Zellige and Bejmat tiles by Villa Lagoon Tile are molded, cut, and glazed entirely by hand by skilled artisans in Fez, Morocco. They use local clays fired in kilns fueled by olive pits, then finished with an enamel glaze.Each Zellige tile is unique, with variations in color, edging, and shape. Like the irregularities in natural wood grain or the tiny air bubbles in hand-blown glass, it is these perfect imperfections for which Zellige is known.","inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/the-benefits-of-using-zellige-tiles\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/the-benefits-of-using-zellige-tiles\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jadeite-and-meringue-gllazed-zellige-pool-web-vlt.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jadeite-and-meringue-gllazed-zellige-pool-web-vlt.jpg","width":1500,"height":2000},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/","name":"Cement Style","description":"by Villa Lagoon Tile","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/45bf1ef791d76ef4735931dd61c4a6bb","name":"Melissa Adams Dillon","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/183820220a7c666c7eb0fc04345789fff6b6156c64e20d999e74273d41318204?s=96&d=identicon&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/183820220a7c666c7eb0fc04345789fff6b6156c64e20d999e74273d41318204?s=96&d=identicon&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/183820220a7c666c7eb0fc04345789fff6b6156c64e20d999e74273d41318204?s=96&d=identicon&r=g","caption":"Melissa Adams Dillon"},"url":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/author\/melissaadamsdillon\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2785"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2785\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2984,"href":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2785\/revisions\/2984"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
