Moorish Elegance: The Alhambra Blue Glazed Tile

Capture the soul of the Mediterranean with the Alhambra Blue 7.5 x 15cm Tile—a deep, pigment-rich ceramic wall tile that brings a sense of artisanal history and vibrant colour to your home.

Inspired by the intricate tiling of the Spanish palace for which it is named, the Alhambra Blue tile is defined by its extraordinary depth of glaze. The tile features a subtly undulating "wavy" surface that mimics the character of traditional hand-poured ceramics. As light travels across the wall, the translucent blue glaze pools in the surface depressions, creating beautiful tonal variations from electric indigo to deep navy. The classic 7.5 x 15cm rectangular format—often called a half-size subway tile—offers a more delicate and intricate scale than standard tiles, making it perfect for creating rich, textured feature walls with a vintage, handcrafted feel.


✓ Why Choose Alhambra Blue?

  • Deep Translucent Glaze - A rich, glossy finish that provides incredible color depth and light reflection.
  • Artisanal 'Wavy' Surface - A subtly irregular face that replicates the charm of authentic handmade tiles.
  • Versatile Brick Format - The 7.5 x 15cm size is ideal for herringbone, vertical stack, or traditional brick-bond layouts.
  • Timeless Mediterranean Palette - A vibrant yet sophisticated blue that pairs perfectly with white, brass, or natural wood.

⚠️ Professional Installation Tips

  • Surface Blending: Because the glaze is translucent and the surface is undulating, slight tonal differences are intentional. Always mix tiles from several boxes to ensure a natural blend.
  • Grout Advice: We recommend a mid-grey or off-white grout to highlight the "V" of a herringbone pattern or a matching dark blue for a seamless look.
  • Cutting: Use a standard manual tile cutter or electric wet saw for clean edges.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

Is the surface flat?

No, the Alhambra tiles have a purposefully "undulating" or wavy surface. This is a design feature intended to create movement and depth as light reflects off the glaze at different angles.

Can these be used on a floor?

No, these tiles are designed exclusively for interior wall applications. The high-gloss glaze would be prone to scratching and could be slippery if used on a floor.

Which layout is best for this size?

The 7.5 x 15cm format is incredibly versatile. It is the most popular size for creating a "Herringbone" pattern because the proportions look elegant in small and large spaces alike. It also looks fantastic in a "Vertical Stack" for a more modern, architectural feel.

Are these suitable for shower walls?

Yes. Being glazed ceramic, they are entirely waterproof and perfect for shower enclosures and wet room walls, provided the substrate is correctly tanked and a waterproof grout is used.
