Mosque Tile Selection Guide

Pattern, colour, size, budget and installation criteria to consider when choosing tiles for your mosque.

Mosque tiles are a lasting investment that will serve the congregation for many years. For the right choice, we recommend considering the following points:

1. Architecture and Dimensions

The width of the mihrab niche, the height of the minbar and the wall surface area directly affect tile size and pattern layout. A site survey and accurate measurement are the foundation of a quality installation.

2. Pattern and Colour Harmony

Having the mihrab, minbar, pulpit and wall tiles in the same pattern language creates unity in the interior. Attention should also be paid to colour harmony with carpets, painted decoration (kalem işi) and woodwork.

3. Quality Criteria

  • No cracks, bubbles or glaze defects on the surface
  • Vivid and uniform colours
  • A glazed surface that does not hold dirt and is easy to clean

4. Preview with a 3D Drawing

A 3D drawing before installation makes it easier for the congregation and the mosque association to reach a joint decision. Altınlı Dekor offers this service free of charge together with its quote.
