Question 1

What is the price of tiles per m² in Morocco in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Plan 60–180 MAD/m² for entry and mid-range glazed ceramic, 180–450 MAD/m² for full-body porcelain stoneware, 450–1,500+ MAD/m² for natural stone, 350–1,200 MAD/m² for traditional zellige and 120–350 MAD/m² for wood-look porcelain. Add 80–280 MAD/m² for installation.

Question 2

Which tile for a terrace in Morocco?

Accepted Answer

Choose a full-body porcelain stoneware with R11 anti-slip minimum (R12-R13 around pools), 9-20 mm thick, frost-resistant for altitude zones (Ifrane, Azrou). Avoid thin glazed ceramic, which cracks under thermal shock. For a stone look, raised travertine pavers are popular at 350-700 MAD/m².

Question 3

What's the difference between porcelain stoneware and glazed ceramic?

Accepted Answer

Full-body porcelain stoneware is fired at 1,200-1,300 °C and has a uniform body: if it chips, the color stays the same throughout. Glazed ceramic has a clay body covered by a decorative glaze; a chip reveals the white/beige body under the décor. Porcelain is more durable (PEI 4-5 vs PEI 2-3) but more expensive.

Question 4

How many tiles per m²?

Accepted Answer

For 30×30 cm: 11.11 tiles/m². For 40×40: 6.25/m². For 60×60: 2.78/m². For 80×80: 1.56/m². For 60×120: 1.39/m². Always add 10% for waste, 12-15% for diagonal patterns or large formats.

Question 5

Where to buy tiles in Morocco?

Accepted Answer

Three routes: (1) factory direct from Super Cerame, Cerames Centrale, Cerame Loukili, Trends Cerame — best prices on volume; (2) showrooms and trade dealers (Big Mat, Mr. Bricolage, Tarik Bricolage, Sevam) with immediate stock; (3) Italian/Spanish specialty importers for premium projects.

Question 6

Does traditional Moroccan zellige cost more?

Accepted Answer

Yes — authentic Fez zellige is entirely hand-shaped, cut piece by piece and fired with traditional wood-fire glaze. Plan 350-1,200 MAD/m² depending on pattern complexity and glaze quality. Printed-porcelain imitations reproduce the look at 120-280 MAD/m² but lose the handcrafted feel.

Question 7

Which PEI rating for which use?

Accepted Answer

PEI 1: walls only. PEI 2: very light foot traffic (bedrooms). PEI 3: standard residential floors. PEI 4: heavy residential and light commercial (kitchen, entrance). PEI 5: intensive (retail, public halls, airports). For a family home, aim for PEI 3 minimum in living areas, PEI 4 in kitchen and entrance.

Question 8

How do I estimate the total tiling budget for my home?

Accepted Answer

Quick method for a 120 m² home: indoor floors 100 m² × 200 MAD = 20,000 MAD; kitchen walls + 2 bathrooms 35 m² × 150 = 5,250 MAD; installation at 120 MAD/m² × 135 m² = 16,200 MAD; adhesive, grout, baseboards ≈ 4,500 MAD. Total ≈ 46,000 MAD for mid-range. Double for large-format Italian porcelain, divide by 1.5 for entry-level ceramic.
