Crafted in Spain, this 9" x 9" tile collection features richly layered patterns, expressive color combinations, and a soft matte finish that adds warmth and depth to any space. Designed to make an impact, DHAR tiles balance decorative character with everyday durability.

Classic Encaustic Look with Modern Performance

Inspired by heritage cement tiles, the DHAR Series delivers the sought-after encaustic look without the maintenance concerns of traditional materials. These tiles are made from high-quality porcelain, including through-body porcelain options, offering excellent strength, moisture resistance, and color consistency.
