Metro Tiles

Metro, or subway, tiles take their name from the bevelled tiles used traditionally in the London Underground. Despite their almost industrial use, these tiles never seem to go out of style and are still extremely popular in bathrooms and kitchens today. Available in a range of colours and finishes, metro tiles are perfectly suited to splashbacks and showers, and can be laid in a number of interesting patterns.

There is no standard size or design for a metro tile, but generally they are small rectangle shaped ceramic wall tiles. An extremely popular style of metro tile is the glossy bevelled brick, which are available in a range of colours. We also stock the rustic textured�metro tiles and the retro-metro crackle glaze tiles too.

Metro tiles can be installed in an array of different patterns, the most popular being brick bond and herringbone. Use a contrasting grout to make your pattern stand out, or a matching grout for a more subtle look.
