Frequently Asked Questions
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.
