Navarro Split Face Tiles

Striking Texture Meets Contemporary Tile Design

The Navarro Split Face Tiles collection brings architectural depth and sculpted beauty to your walls. This porcelain tile range mimics rugged natural stone with its split-face effect, resulting in a tactile, multi-dimensional surface that plays with light and shadow to dramatic effect. Ideal for feature walls, accent zones or full room installations, these tiles give any space character and a bold visual statement.

Colour & Finish Options

Available in Anthracita and Gris, the Navarro tile palette offers contrasting tones suited for modern and classic interiors alike. The matt finish of each tile enhances its texture and adds subtle sophistication. The split face effect gives variation and irregularity across the surface, making every installation unique and giving the wall depth and movement.

Designed for Walls with Style

Navarro is optimised purely for vertical use, making it a go-to wall tile for bathrooms, showers, feature walls and interior facades. Its 600 × 200 mm format lends itself beautifully to linear, staggered or brick-bond layouts. Use it to frame mirrors, backsplashes or niches, or apply it floor to ceiling for fully immersive walls.

Low Maintenance, High Impact

Unlike raw stone, the Navarro split face porcelain tile doesn’t require sealing or frequent treatment. It resists moisture, stains and daily wear while retaining its texture and appearance. A simple wipe-down is sufficient to keep the tile looking fresh, making it suitable even for damp areas and busy interiors.

Creative Layout & Design Ideas

• Use a staggered brick pattern to emphasise the linear effect of the tile face
• Combine lighter Gris tiles with deeper Anthracita for a dynamic wall gradient
• Frame architectural features (doors, windows, fireplaces) with Navarro tile for a bold contrast
• Pair with smooth floor tiles for balance — the rough texture of the wall tile works well against a sleek floor surface
• Use recessed lighting or wall spotlights to cast shadow over the split face tile surface, accentuating depth and relief

Applications & Suitability

This tile is ideal for:

• Feature walls in living rooms or reception areas
• Bathroom and shower walls, including wet-zone design
• Interior detailing around fireplaces, mirror surrounds or architectural columns
• Commercial interiors such as hotel lobbies, restaurants or bars where texture adds drama

The Navarro range is suitable for external wall use as well, offering resilience to the elements without compromising on aesthetics. (dialatile.com)

Why Choose Split Face Porcelain Tile?

Split face porcelain tile offers all the aesthetics of natural stone, minus its vulnerabilities. Unlike quarried stone which may flake, stain or degrade, Navarro tiles remain stable, colour-fast and durable. The textured surface also hides wear or minor blemishes, making it a practical tile option for high-visual appeal in living spaces.

Bringing It All Together

Navarro Split Face Tiles are designed to make a feature — whether across a full wall or in zones of emphasis. With the rich tone choices and dramatic surface relief, you can sculpt your interiors with modern flair. This tile is as much about texture and shadow as it is about colour, offering depth and visual intrigue that invites closer inspection.
