Metro tiles have been covering walls for well over a century, and they're still a strong choice: the format is clean, the glaze is durable, and the proportions suit almost any room you can think of.
Lay them in a brick bond, and you get something classic. Stack them vertically and the feel shifts. They adapt, and that's the appeal.
White Metro Tiles
White is the most popular choice, and it's easy to see why. But not all whites are the same. Ours range from warm, chalky tones to crisper, cooler shades. Each one behaves differently depending on the light in your room, so order samples before you decide.
The quality of glaze matters too. A good white metro tile has depth and shouldn't look flat.
Green Metro Tiles
Thinking about colour? Our green metro tiles range from lighter, fresher shades through to deeper, richer tones. Green works well alongside timber, stone and pale cabinetry because it brings warmth and depth without taking over.
Browse the full collection, order samples and see how the colours work in your space. We're here to help if you're unsure where to start.
Metro tiles are typically 75 x 150mm, with larger formats also available at 100 x 200mm and 100 x 300mm. If you're comparing sizes, order samples so you can see them in your own space.
Metro tiles are a good choice for shower walls and wet room walls. Always check the slip resistance for your chosen tile to confirm it's suitable for wet areas, and use a professional installer with the right waterproof membrane and grout.
Most metro tiles are designed for walls, and standard glazed versions don't have the durability you need underfoot. However, floor-rated metro tiles do exist. Always check the specification and confirm the tile is rated for floor use before laying it on the ground.
Grout colour shapes the whole look of a metro scheme. Your options:
Pale or white grout for a clean, uninterrupted finish
Mid grey to pick out the grid pattern
Dark grout to make each tile stand out
Order samples before you commit.
Green metro tiles bring warmth to kitchen walls without taking over. Lighter green tones work well with warm timber and brass fittings. Deeper, richer shades suit pale cabinetry and natural stone worktops. And on a splashback alone, even a single row changes how a kitchen feels.
