Collection: Moroccan Tiles for Fireplaces

Are ceramic Moroccan tiles safe to use around a working fireplace? 

Yes, ceramic tiles are heat-resistant and well-suited to fireplace surrounds. They perform best on the surround and hearth - the decorative frame around the opening rather than inside the firebox itself. 

Always confirm your tile's heat rating before installation if the surface is in direct proximity to an open flame.

Will Moroccan tiles work on a non-working or decorative fireplace? 

Absolutely, and this is actually one of the most popular uses. A decorative fireplace tiled with a bold Moroccan pattern immediately becomes the centrepiece of a room, with no heat or safety considerations to factor in at all.

How much of the fireplace should I tile? 

Most homeowners tile the surround (the frame around the opening) and the hearth. For a more dramatic effect, you can extend the tile up the chimney breast to ceiling height. 

Using the same tile across both the surround and a vertical panel above creates a cohesive, architectural look.

What grout colour works best with Moroccan fireplace tiles? 

A neutral grout - warm grey or off-white - works well with most Moroccan palettes. It maintains visual harmony without competing with the pattern. 

Avoid bright white grout with very bold designs, as it can fragment the pattern rather than complement it.
