Metro Tiles

Metro wall tiles are popular choices for kitchens and bathrooms. These tiles, all of which are made from hard-wearing materials for long-lasting durability, are often nicknamed "subway tiles" or "metro tiles" in reference to those used in the London and New York underground systems. Revitalise your interior and complete your renovation with free standard UK delivery on orders over £499.

When it comes to laying metro tiles, a variety of patterns can be achieved. These rectangular tiles are highly versatile in larger spaces and are available in a wide range of styles and finishes. Whether you’re tiling a bathroom, kitchen, hallway or fireplace, we recommend hiring a professional to ensure the best results.

From timeless gloss whites and creams to bold pops of red, green and blue, metro tiles give you the freedom to play with colour. Soft pastels and marble effect tiles keep things subtle and sophisticated, while darker shades like black and deep grey add drama and contrast. Choose between glossy finishes that bounce light around the room or matt options for a modern edge.

FAQ's

Got questions about metro tiles? We’ve got you covered. From style trends to installation and cleaning tips, here’s everything you need to know to get the most from these classic, versatile tiles.

Are metro tiles still trending?

Metro tiles are still very much in style and they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. Loved for their shape and versatile finishes, metro tiles remain a popular choice for modern bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms. Whether you're after a glossy ripple effect for added shimmer or a clean white gloss for a classic look, these tiles continue to evolve with current design trends while offering durability and easy maintenance.

Do metro tiles need spacers?

Yes, metro tiles do need spacers. Even if a tile has a tiny built-in gap, separate spacers keep your grout lines perfectly even, prevent tiles from shifting and help maintain a professional finish. This is especially the case when working with brick or running bond patterns.

Are metro tiles hard to keep clean?

Metro tiles are easy to keep clean thanks to their smooth, glazed surfaces that resist stains and wipe down easily. The grout lines, however, can soak up dirt and discolour over time, especially in steamy bathrooms.
