A project, a question? Talk to an advisorDescription
Anfa is a hand-cut zellige border from Fes: every piece is cut one by one from glazed tiles and assembled by hand into a frieze by our maâlems. It frames a wall, a floor, a doorway or a pool edge, and finishes a surface the traditional way.
Format: 11.5 × 34 cm. Sold by the linear metre and produced to order in the colours of your project. You buy directly from the workshop, at the workshop price.
What handmade zellige means
These differences are not defects: they are the product. Better to know them before you open the boxes.
- Tone variationSTRONG
- Two tiles of the same glaze are never identical — that is what gives a zellige wall its depth.
- Surface reliefMEDIUM
- The surface is not perfectly flat: it catches the light.
- Edge chipsFREQUENT
- Every piece is cut with a hammer; edges are alive, not machined.
- Size variationSLIGHT
- A few millimetres between pieces. The joint absorbs them.
- ThicknessVARIABLE
- Around 1.2–2 cm: shaping and firing by hand mean small differences.

Frequently asked
Questions about this product
What is the price of Anfa per linear metre?
Anfa costs 747 MAD per linear metre in Morocco (excl. TVA), or €108.99 per linear metre for export. The price covers the zellige only — installation and delivery are extra. Some colours may have a different price. The configurator on this page shows your exact total as soon as you enter your length.
How many metres of Anfa do I need?
Measure each line the border will follow — around a door, along a wall, around a pool — and add the lengths together. Then add a cutting margin of about 10% for corners and ends. The configurator on this page does the calculation for you, and we check the measurements with you on the phone.
Can I order a sample before deciding?
Yes, and we recommend it: on a screen two greens look alike; in your room, in your light, they don't. Press "Order a sample first" — we confirm the price and delivery on the phone. You don't need to have measured anything to order one.
Which colours is Anfa available in?
Anfa is available in Dark Green, Parsley and White Carrare. Our maâlems glaze in-house, so a custom colour is also possible: choose "Custom colours" in the configurator and we call you to confirm it, with a sample, before production. Because every tile is glazed and fired by hand, two pieces of the same colour are never perfectly identical — that is what gives a laid surface its depth.
Can Anfa be used on floors, in showers or in a pool?
Yes. Our zellige is suitable for walls and floors, indoors and outdoors, and for wet areas such as showers, hammams and swimming pools. It is not frost-resistant: where it freezes, use it indoors or discuss the project with us first.
How long does production and delivery take?
Every piece is shaped, glazed and cut by hand, so production takes 60 to 90 days on average depending on the size of the order. We confirm the exact lead time and the delivery cost to your city or country on the confirmation call.
How does payment work?
No online payment, ever. After you send your order, we call you to confirm the colour, the measurements, the delivery and the lead time. Once you confirm, you pay a 50% deposit and the balance on delivery. If you collect your order at our workshop in Fes, you pay everything there, with no deposit.
Do you deliver outside Morocco?
Yes. We deliver across Morocco and ship worldwide — we have delivered projects to Dubai, the United Kingdom, Australia and Brazil. Customers abroad pay the export price in euros or dollars; we quote the shipping with you before any commitment.
