Tiles in Morocco 2026 — buying guide, types and price per m²
Tiling is Morocco's most popular floor and wall covering, found in 9 out of 10 homes. In 2026 the market is dominated by three families: glazed ceramic (entry and mid-range, 60–180 MAD/m²), full-body porcelain stoneware (upper mid-range, 180–450 MAD/m²) and natural stone — marble, travertine, granite (premium, 450 MAD to over 1,500 MAD/m²). Traditional Moroccan zellige and its printed-porcelain imitations form a niche segment for hammams, fountains and heritage façades. The market is led by four national makers — Super Cerame, Cerames Centrale, Cerame Loukili and Trends Cerame — alongside Italian (Marazzi, Florim) and Spanish (Porcelanosa, Pamesa) imports for premium projects. To buy wisely, compare size, calibration, PEI rating (wear resistance, 1 to 5), R rating (slip resistance, R9 to R13) and thickness. Ask three questions: indoor or outdoor use, light or heavy traffic, wet or dry surface. On lechantier.ma you'll find m² prices updated monthly, verified suppliers near you and a 24-hour installation quote.

Buying tips
Check the calibration
Calibration indicates dimensional precision. Excessive variability (>0.5 mm) complicates laying and widens joints. Ask for rectified tiles to keep joints thin (1-2 mm).
Add 10% waste allowance
Cuts, breakage and odd pieces demand a safety margin. For 50 m² of floor, order 55 m². Increase to 12-15% for diagonal patterns or large formats.
Choose the right format
Large formats (60×60, 60×120, 80×80) visually expand rooms and minimize joints. Small formats (20×20, 30×30) tolerate uneven floors and lay more easily on small areas.
Plan the installation
Installation accounts for 35-50% of the total budget. Plan 80-150 MAD/m² supply-and-lay for standard formats, 180-280 MAD/m² for large formats with thin-set laying on self-leveling screed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the price of tiles per m² in Morocco in 2026?▾
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.
Which tile for a terrace in Morocco?▾
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.
What's the difference between porcelain stoneware and glazed ceramic?▾
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.
How many tiles per m²?▾
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.
Where to buy tiles in Morocco?▾
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.
Does traditional Moroccan zellige cost more?▾
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.
Which PEI rating for which use?▾
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.
How do I estimate the total tiling budget for my home?▾
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.
