The one room that is all floor
An entryway is a floor problem, so it is a cement tile and bejmat problem rather than a zellige one. Our handmade encaustic cement tiles are the traditional answer: the pattern is cast into the body rather than printed on the surface, so it wears with the tile instead of off it.
A patterned floor also does something practical in a hall. It hides grit and wear far better than a plain floor, which is exactly what you want in the part of the house that meets the street.
Sealing, and living with a hall floor
Cement tile is porous and must be sealed before grouting and again afterwards, then maintained. This is not optional in an entryway, where salt, grit and water arrive on shoes daily.
Bejmat laid in herringbone is the hard-wearing alternative and needs less ceremony if it is glazed. Unglazed terracotta in a hall will patina quickly and unevenly — beautiful if that is what you want, a surprise if it is not.
Common Questions
What tile is best for an entryway floor?
Handmade cement tile or glazed bejmat. Both are floor formats, and a patterned cement floor hides the grit and wear an entryway inevitably collects.
Does cement tile need sealing in a hallway?
Yes, and it matters more here than anywhere. Cement tile is porous: seal before grouting, again after installation, and maintain it — an entry floor meets water, salt and grit every day.
Can zellige go in an entryway?
On the walls, not the floor. Zellige is a wall tile; for the floor use cement tile or bejmat and keep the zellige for a wall or an alcove if you want it in the space.
