Why Design Professionals Choose My Moroccan Tile
For over 1,000 years, the artisans of Fez have perfected the art of zellige tile-making. Each piece from My Moroccan Tile continues this unbroken tradition—hand-cut, hand-glazed, and kiln-fired using techniques passed through generations.
Unlike competitors who stock mass-produced inventory, we maintain direct relationships with master craftsmen in Fez. Every tile bears the official "Zellige de Fès" quality label and the artisan's touch. Your projects feature museum-quality craftsmanship that cannot be replicated by factories.
Average project orders: $5,000 | Production timeline: 2-4 weeks | Shipping: Complimentary for projects over 250 sq ft
Frequently Asked Questions - Trade Program
What are the requirements to join the Trade Program?
Our Trade Program is designed for licensed design professionals, including:
- Interior Designers: Residential and commercial, with active client projects
- Architects: Licensed professionals specifying materials for client projects
- Contractors & Builders: Licensed professionals managing luxury residential or boutique commercial projects
- Showrooms & Design Studios: Retail spaces serving design-focused clientele
Application requires proof of business license, tax ID, and portfolio or website demonstrating your work. Approval typically takes 24-48 hours.
How does trade pricing work?
Trade pricing is tiered based on project volume and relationship:
- Standard Trade Discount: Applied to all approved trade accounts on first order
- Volume Pricing: Enhanced discounts for projects over $5,000
- Preferred Partner Rates: Best pricing for repeat clients and large-scale projects ($10,000+)
Your dedicated account manager will provide exact pricing based on your project specifications. All trade pricing protects your professional margins while delivering exceptional value to your clients.
Can you meet my project timeline?
Standard Timeline: 2-4 weeks production + 5-10 days air freight (or 6+ weeks maritime)
Total Timeline: Plan for 3-8 weeks from order to delivery, depending on shipping method
Trade Priority: Your projects receive priority scheduling in our Fez workshop. We work backward from your installation date to ensure on-time delivery. For projects with tight deadlines, we can often accommodate rush production (additional fees may apply).
Best Practice: Specify tiles early in your design process. Order 6-8 weeks before installation to allow buffer time. Your account manager will coordinate with your project schedule and provide regular production updates.
Do you provide installation support and technical specifications?
Yes. Trade members receive comprehensive installation support:
- Technical Spec Sheets: Detailed specifications for each tile type (dimensions, weight, absorption rates, recommended applications)
- Installation Guides: Step-by-step instructions for thinset selection, grout recommendations, sealing requirements
- Installer Briefings: We can speak directly with your installation team to address handcrafted tile techniques
- Troubleshooting Support: Real-time assistance during installation if questions arise
Key Consideration: Handcrafted tiles have natural variations (1/8"-1/4" dimensional tolerance). Installers experienced with mass-produced tiles may need guidance on techniques that celebrate these artisan characteristics rather than fight them.
How do I present samples to my clients?
Trade Sample Library: Upon approval, you'll receive a curated sample set featuring our most popular collections:
- Zellij mosaic tiles (multiple colorways and patterns)
- Terracotta floor tiles (various sizes and finishes)
- Hand-painted decorative tiles
- Custom mosaic examples
Sample Presentation Materials:
- Artisan story cards explaining the heritage and craftsmanship
- Care and maintenance guides for client education
- High-resolution lookbooks showcasing completed installations
- Technical specification sheets for contractor coordination
Additional Samples: Need specific colorways or custom samples for a particular project? Your account manager will arrange complimentary project-specific samples shipped directly to you or your client.
Can you create custom colors and patterns?
Absolutely. Custom work is where our artisan model truly shines. Because we don't rely on warehouse inventory, we can create bespoke tiles tailored to your exact vision:
Custom Colorways:
- Match existing palettes, brand colors, or architectural finishes
- Our artisans hand-mix natural glazes to achieve precise tones
- Submit paint chips, fabric swatches, or Pantone references
- Receive test tiles for client approval before full production
Custom Patterns & Mosaics:
- Work with our design team to create unique geometric compositions
- Adapt traditional Moroccan patterns to modern aesthetics
- Design bespoke mosaic installations for feature walls, floors, or fountains
- Pre-assembled on mesh backing for easier installation
Timeline & Pricing: Custom work typically adds 1-2 weeks to standard production and carries a 20-30% premium. Your account manager will provide exact quotes based on complexity. For high-value projects, we can arrange virtual consultations with our Fez workshop master craftsmen.
