Origin of Taza marble
Taza marble comes from limestone formations in the Taza region of north-eastern Morocco, especially around Oued Amlil. Once quarried, sawn and finished, the stone offers warm beige to pearl-grey tones, sometimes with subtle fossils. It is a pillar of Morocco's mineral heritage, used in contemporary architecture and prestige renovations.
In search terms, « Taza marble » often means polished or honed slabs for interiors, while « Taza stone » points to façade and outdoor finishes. At UNIVMAR we handle both: same origin, finishes matched to each use.
Beige Taza and Grey Taza
Beige Taza is the most requested for bright interiors: living-room floors, halls, stairs, bathrooms. It pairs with light wood, brass and mineral plasters. Grey Taza structures modern spaces, offices and hotel lobbies that want a more graphic look.
Natural variation from lot to lot is part of Taza marble's character. We select slabs for visual harmony on your area and invite you to validate a sample at the Temara workshop.
- Polished Beige Taza — warm floors and halls
- Grey Taza — contemporary, strong contrast
- Honed — matte elegance, less glare
- Bush-hammered / split — outdoor use (Taza stone)
Where to use Taza marble
Indoors: floors, accent walls, stairs, bathrooms, skirting, vanity tops. Semi-outdoors: entrances, loggias. For exposed terraces and pools, choose a slip-resistant finish (bush-hammered, sandblasted, aged) — that is Taza stone territory.
Moroccan developers and architects value Taza marble for high-end residential schemes in Rabat, Casablanca and Marrakech: premium look, local supply, authentic « marble Morocco » image.
Care and precautions
Like any limestone, Taza marble dislikes acids (lemon, vinegar, some descalers). Clean with neutral soap and lukewarm water. Suitable hydrophobic treatment reduces water and oil stains, especially in bathrooms.
UNIVMAR provides care advice with every delivery. For restoring an existing floor (re-polishing), contact a tiler or crystallisation professional.
