Inspired by the elegantly tiled walls of the Tube's historic stations, this beautiful rectangular metro tile features a sleek, rich dark green Brompton Road colourway. The highly sought-after Metropolitan collection is renowned for its glossy finish and subtle Micro-Crazing (Crackle Glaze), which imparts a softly aged look and authentic urban character to your walls. This modern interpretation of a design classic offers endless versatility, pairing effortlessly with both traditional and contemporary interior schemes.

Measuring a versatile 225mm x 75mm with a sturdy 8mm thickness, these premium ceramic tiles are specifically engineered for internal wet and dry wall applications.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • Adhesive: Use a high-quality white flexible tile adhesive suitable for glazed ceramic wall tiles to prevent shadowing through the glaze.
  • Grout Joint: A 3mm grout joint is typically recommended to allow the tiles to sit harmoniously together.
  • Sealing & Cleaning: Tile sealing is strictly required for this crackle glaze tile to protect it from stains and water ingress. Seal the tiles before grouting. Maintain the finish easily with warm water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How many tiles do I need to order?

The Metropolitan Brompton Road tiles require 60 tiles to cover 1m². To ensure you have enough for cuts and wastage, we highly recommend ordering an additional 10% on top of your room measurements.

Can this tile be used as a kitchen splashback or in a shower?

Yes. These classic ceramic metro wall tiles are fully suitable for internal wet and dry walls, making them a highly popular choice for bathroom walls, shower enclosures, and easy-to-clean kitchen splashbacks. They are also suitable for hearths and fireplace surrounds (when placed at least 30cm from the heat source).

Do crackle glaze tiles need to be sealed?

Yes. Because the Metropolitan range features a glazed finish that is prone to beautiful variable crazing (micro-cracking), tile sealing is strictly required before you apply grout. This protects the delicate surface from absorbing moisture, grout pigments, or everyday stains in kitchens and bathrooms.
