Serene Sophistication: Retro Metro Lido Blue

Immerse your home in a sense of calm with the Retro Metro Lido Blue Tile—a 7.5 x 15cm glazed wall tile that pairs a refreshing, tranquil blue hue with a handcrafted crackle finish.

Drawing inspiration from the iconic tiled walls of the London Underground, the Retro Metro collection is famed for its depth of colour and vintage charm. "Lido Blue" offers a soft, restorative tone reminiscent of summer pools and clear skies, bringing an airy, spacious feel to any interior. The tile features a thick, glossy glaze with a deliberate crackle effect (crazing) that catches the light, adding texture and artisanal character to the smooth surface. Perfectly sized for versatile installation, this tile is an exquisite choice for spa-inspired bathrooms, bright kitchen splashbacks, 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.
