Architect & Designer Hub
Specification-led tile supply for commercial and residential projects
Technical guidance, samples and specification support for architects and designers.
Alhambra works with architects and interior designers to supply Spanish tiles for projects requiring consistency, durability and repeatable specification.
We support projects across hospitality, workplace, retail, cultural and high-end residential sectors, offering technical guidance, samples and dependable supply from concept through to completion.
Support Specification
Material selection & guidance
We advise on tile suitability based on application, performance requirements and visual intent. This includes guidance on format, finish, slip resistance, installation considerations and long-term maintenance.
Samples & mock-ups
Samples are available across our core ranges. Where required, we can also support layout testing and visual mock-ups to assist with client approval and design development.
Repeatable supply
Our collections are selected with repeat specification in mind. Where projects require consistency across multiple sites or phases, we can advise on availability, lead times and continuity.
Bespoke & made-to-order
Bespoke terracotta and cement encaustic tiles are available on request for projects with specific design or colour requirements. Lead times and minimums are discussed at concept stage to ensure feasibility.
