Description
Timeless Elegance: Retro Metro South Kensington
Create a space of effortless sophistication with the Retro Metro South Kensington Tile—a 7.5 x 15cm glazed wall tile that combines a soft, neutral white hue with a handcrafted crackle finish.
Inspired by the classic interiors of London's most elegant borough, "South Kensington" offers a refined, off-white tone that is softer and more inviting than harsh brilliant white. It serves as the perfect neutral canvas, allowing architectural details and furnishings to take centre stage. The tile features a thick, glossy glaze with a deliberate crackle effect (crazing) that catches the light, adding instant depth and vintage character to the smooth surface. Whether used in a traditional brick bond or a chic herringbone pattern, it brings a sense of established luxury to bathrooms, kitchens, and feature walls.

⚠️ Important Installation & Care
- Sealing is Essential: Because this tile has a genuine crackle glaze, the surface is slightly porous. You must seal the tiles with a high-quality impregnator before grouting to prevent grout pigment from staining the cracks, and again after installation to make them watertight.
- Grout Colour: We recommend testing a small area if using dark grout, as the pigments can highlight the crazing more intensely than desired.
- Wet Areas: Suitable for shower walls provided they are correctly sealed and maintained. Not suitable for wet room floors.
