Product story

A Deep-Green Metro Classic: Metropolitan Brompton Road

A rich, dark-green glazed metro tile inspired by the tiled walls of the London Underground — Metropolitan from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

The Metropolitan range takes its cue from the beautifully tiled walls of the Tube's stations, updated for the modern home. Brompton Road wears a deep, characterful green under a lively gloss glaze, its gentle surface movement catching the light like the originals. It is a natural fit for a kitchen splashback, a bathroom or a fireplace surround.

Measuring a slim 7.5 x 22.5cm, it lays in a classic brick bond, a herringbone or a vertical stack. Glazed ceramic, it needs no sealing and wipes clean effortlessly.

In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.

Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.

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.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix with a standard flexible wall-tile adhesive and choose a grout shade to suit — a soft grey or green tone flatters the deep glaze; a contrasting white sharpens the metro look.
  • Layout Options: Lay in a 50% brick bond, a vertical stack or a herringbone. Shuffle tiles from several boxes to blend the natural variation in the glaze.
  • Cleaning: Wipe with warm water and a mild cleaner. The glazed surface needs no sealing and resists splashes and steam.
