Non-porous and effortless to wipe clean, it is an ideal choice for kitchen splashbacks, shower enclosures, bathroom walls and other wet areas where a premium finish is wanted.

Installation & care

Installation & care

  • Adhesive & Grout: Always fix with a white glass-rated adhesive — grey or dark adhesives show through the translucent glass and dull the finish. Pair with a soft, tonal grout.
  • Layout Options: Set a running bond, stack or herringbone. Score and snap with a glass cutter for clean edges rather than a wet saw, which can chip the glass. Take care with cut or exposed edges.
  • Cleaning: Wipe with warm water and a mild cleaner. Glass is non-porous, needs no sealing and shrugs off splashes and steam.
Samples

Tone, glaze and veining all read differently in your own light. Cut samples are free — sample postage is £4.99 (£8 for Original Style) and we refund it on tile orders over £50 with the code we email you. Our family-run team is happy to check quantities and finishes with you on 01344 620211.

Delivery

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.

When your order arrives

Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.

Returns

Unused, complete orders can be returned within 14 days of delivery; as tiles are picked and packed to your quantity, a restocking fee of 20–30% applies depending on the range. Special-order items are non-returnable unless damaged on delivery or faulty. Ordering a free sample first is the simplest way to avoid a return.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a brick tile and a metro tile?

In practice the terms overlap. Both describe a rectangular wall tile laid in an offset, brick-like pattern. 'Metro' usually refers to the classic 200 x 100mm proportion made famous by underground stations, while 'brick' is used more loosely for any elongated rectangle, including longer, slimmer formats.

The laying pattern matters more than the name. A half-offset bond gives the traditional look, a third-offset feels more contemporary, and a stacked vertical bond reads as distinctly modern.

Which way up should brick glass tiles be laid?

Horizontally in a running bond is the traditional choice and it visually widens a room. Stacking them vertically draws the eye upward and suits a tall splashback or a shower recess, and herringbone turns the same tile into a feature in its own right.

Vertical and herringbone layouts use more tiles at the cut edges, so allow a little extra on your order. We usually suggest 10% wastage for a straight bond and around 15% for herringbone.

Are these tiles suitable for a shower or wet room?

Yes. Glass is completely non-porous, so it will not absorb water, harbour mould in the body of the tile, or stain — which makes it a strong choice for shower walls and splash zones.

The performance of the finished wall depends on what sits behind it. You need a properly waterproofed substrate, a suitable adhesive for glass, and a waterproof grout. We can specify the full build-up for you.

What adhesive and grout should I use with glass tiles?

Use a white, flexible, cement-based adhesive rated for glass. Grey adhesive will show through clear and translucent glass and dull the colour, which is the single most common mistake we see.

For grout, a white or colour-matched flexible grout is usually best. In a shower, use a waterproof or epoxy grout. Buy your adhesive and grout at the same time as your tiles and we will make sure the combination is right for the tile you have chosen.

How many tiles of this size do I need per square metre?

At 200 x 75 x 8mm, each tile covers roughly 0.015m², which works out at about 66.67 tiles per square metre.

To work out your order: multiply the height by the width of each area you are tiling to get the total square metres, multiply that figure by 66.67, then round up to the nearest full tile. Add 10% on top for cuts and breakages, or around 15% for a herringbone or diagonal layout.

If you would rather not do the sums, send us the dimensions of your space and we will confirm the quantity — and if you are close to a box quantity we will tell you, as it is often cheaper to take the full box. Free cut samples are available, and you are welcome to see the range in our Ascot showroom.
