Mosaic House is a New York tile company specializing in Moroccan tiles. Mosaic House carries a range of tiles for home and business. We carry Moorish tiles or Fes tiles, which are also called Moroccan mosaic tiles or Zillij. These artistic tiles have an antique tile look because they are hand made the same way they have been made centuries ago. The extensive collection of tiles at Mosaic House include hand painted tiles, chiseled tiles, terracotta tiles, cement tiles or concrete tiles, also called encaustic tiles. Mosaic House carries designed tiles that have a new style and a modern look to them. Many Andalusia, or Andalusian, floors use Spanish tile to copy Moroccan design that can still be seen in Moroccan architecture in Fez. Mediterranean floors also use Moroccan stone and tile for floor convering and mosaics. We carry a full range of tile that can be used to make fountains, walls, swimming pools, arches, fireplaces and columns. Our tiles are also used in bath design and kitchen design. For instance, our tiles have been used in architectural design instead of stone products such as marble and stone. We carry carved stone architectural elements such as columns and arches. Bathroom and kitchen designs incorporate Moroccan tiles into the backsplash, sink, bath, counters, walls, borders, and floors. This includes trim and field tiles. Mosaic House carries both indoor and outdoor tiles. Sidewalk tiles can enhance a patio or driveway or garden. Moroccan mosaic tables, Moroccan lighting that can be used indoors or outdoors as well. Moroccan accessories can enhance such settings. One might even consider a Moroccan tent! One of our specialties is Mosharabia or Mosharabi, otherwise known as Moroccan woodwork. This includes Arabesque wood work. We can incorporate Mosharabia into a piece of furniture, screens, and doors. The irregularities in shape, texture, and color that come from hand-finishing are typical of moroccan-moorish floor and tile walls. Wall tiles sre predominantely used in the kitchen and bathroom, as they provide a hygienic surface that is both waterproof and easy to clean, and offer smoother finish to counteract the rough natural surfaces. Today neither of these rooms has a purely utilitarian function. The kitchen has become the warm heart of the home while the bathroom has become a private sanctuary that is inviting and pleasant to enter. The masters artisans in old cities in Morocco are still using old techniques cutting zellij, the same techniques used centuries ago. Nowadays we still can see some unbelievable zellij work in Alhamabra palace that was renovated with our tiles and in the whole Andalusia province -Spain. Moorish moved for a peaceful life in north of Morocco and carried with them the entire culture which is now a moroccan way of life.
