Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an Artworks "Field Tile" and a "Half Tile"?

A field tile is typically a square (152x152mm), whereas a half tile is the rectangular version (152x76mm). Half tiles are commonly referred to as subway or brick tiles and are often used to create brick-bond or herringbone patterns.

How many half tiles do I need per square meter?

For the 152x76mm format, you will need approximately 87 tiles per m². We always recommend ordering an additional 10% to cover cuts and wastage.

Can Artworks half tiles be used in a shower?

Yes, these glazed ceramic tiles are perfectly suitable for wet wall areas, including shower enclosures. However, if you choose a crackle-glaze finish, you must use a sealer before grouting to protect the delicate glaze from moisture and grout staining.

Do these tiles require a specific grout width?

To maintain a traditional period look, a grout joint of 2mm to 3mm is recommended. Using a light grey or off-white grout can help emphasize the individual tiles and mimic the look of historical mortar.

Why Choose Original Style Artworks Half Tiles?

The Original Style Artworks half tile is the definitive choice for creating a "subway" look with a premium heritage twist. Unlike mass-produced modern alternatives, these tiles feature a unique glaze depth that reflects light with a subtle, watery shimmer, making them a favorite for period property restorations.

The Classic Subway Aesthetic
At 152x76mm, these half tiles are perfectly proportioned for Kitchen Splashbacks and Bathroom Wall Tiles. While they are rooted in Victorian and Edwardian history, their clean rectangular lines work exceptionally well in contemporary "industrial-chic" settings. For a truly authentic finish, they are often used to tile walls to chest height, finished with a decorative Artworks Dado Rail.

Rich Colour and Texture
From the dramatic Jet Black and Royal Blue to the understated Vintage White, the Artworks palette is designed to coordinate with Victorian Floor Tiles. The high-gloss surface is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly practical, offering a wipe-clean finish. If you prefer a more rustic, hand-crafted feel, you might also enjoy the Winchester Tiles collection. To see our full range of brick formats, explore our wider Metro Wall Tiles series.
