Taza stone: varieties, finishes and uses

Taza stone (pierre de Taza) is a natural stone quarried in the Taza region, in north-eastern Morocco. It is valued for its natural colours (beige, grey, black-brown) and its authentic look, which suits a villa facade as well as a living-room wall.

Based in Taza, we have supplied this stone for more than 10 years, in sizes adapted to your project, with delivery across Morocco. This page brings together our varieties, their finishes and our advice to help you choose.

Our Taza stone varieties

Available finishes

• Cladding strips: thin strips of stone assembled together, to cover a facade or a wall with relief (Beige Taza, Gris Taza).
• Rustic / split face: a raw, irregular surface with a very natural character (Taza beige Jelmoudi, rustic beige).
• Bush-hammered: an even, textured surface that is less slippery, suited to floors and outdoor areas.
• Aged: a matt, weathered look for interior floors and walls with an old-style feel.

Beige or grey: how to choose

Beige Taza stone gives a warm, bright result. It works well with light renders, wood and Mediterranean or Moroccan styles. Grey Taza stone is more understated and contemporary, and pairs well with black or aluminium frames. Black-brown Khizran is best used in touches, to create contrast.

As with any natural stone, the shade varies from one batch to another. Ask us for daylight photos or a sample before you order.

Taza stone prices

The price per m² depends on the variety, the finish, the thickness and size, the quantity ordered, the delivery distance and whether you need installation. To understand these differences, read our article on natural stone prices in Morocco. For an exact price, send us your surface area and a photo of the wall or floor on WhatsApp.

Installation and care

• Have the stone laid by a mason or installer used to natural stone, with a mortar or adhesive suited to the surface.
• Outdoors, a suitable water-repellent treatment limits dirt and damp marks.
• Clean with clear water and a soft brush. Avoid acidic or harsh products, which can mark the stone.
