Vintage Earth Tones: Retro Metro Gloucester Road

Bring the grounding warmth of nature into your home with the Retro Metro Gloucester Road Tile—a 7.5 x 15cm glazed wall tile that pairs a soft, earthy green hue with a handcrafted crackle finish.

Inspired by the heritage tiling of London's Underground stations, the Retro Metro collection is renowned for its thick, lustrous glazes and authentic character. "Gloucester Road" features a distinctively warm, earthy green tone—softer than bottle green but richer than sage—creating a welcoming and organic backdrop for any room. The surface is finished with a deliberate crackle glaze (crazing) that pools slightly at the edges, catching the light to reveal unique artisanal variations in every tile. Perfectly sized for creative layouts, this tile is an ideal choice for period renovations, botanical bathrooms, and rustic kitchen splashbacks.

⚠️ 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.
