Origin
Origin, composition and appearance
Taza Beige Bouchardé is a trade name generally associated with quarries in Morocco, around Taza. Country, quarry and grade are still checked against the lot available in Morocco before ordering.
Its beige background shows natural layers and pores. As with every natural stone, pattern density and shade vary from slab to slab.
Natural stone
From quarry block to installed piece
This natural stone is not manufactured like a composite surface. It is quarried and then processed for the project.
- 1
Block extraction
Blocks are quarried and sorted for structure, colour and consistency.
- 2
Slab sawing
Blocks are sawn into slabs. Depending on the stone, drying, filling or resin reinforcement may be applied.
- 3
Surface finish
The surface is calibrated and receives a bush-hammered finish for the required appearance and slip resistance.
- 4
Cutting and installation
The approved slab is cut to size, edge-finished, transported and installed with joints and treatments suited to the Marrakech project.
Strengths
- Natural mineral appearance that suits local architecture.
- Accepts several finishes, including honed, aged and textured.
- A sound choice for floors, walls and outdoors when correctly specified.
Points to consider

Our advice before ordering
Always approve the actual slab. Two lots sold under the same name may differ in shade, veining, microfissures and porosity. We also confirm thickness, finish, treatment and intended use before quoting.
