Product story

Vintage Character, Slimline Form: Retro Metro Lime House 5 x 20cm

Part of the Retro Metro collection at Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

The Retro Metro range draws its name from two ideas at once: retro for its vintage influence, and metro for the classic subway-tile silhouette first seen lining station platforms. In this slim 5 x 20cm format, Lime House brings a zesty burst of green that lifts and energises a room.

A characterful crackle glaze gives every tile subtle surface variation and a gentle, handcrafted play of light, so no two are quite alike. Set it in a herringbone, a vertical stack or a traditional brick bond for splashbacks, bathroom walls and feature walls with real personality.

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. Fired Earth ranges are returned through Fired Earth’s own returns process, and 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

Where can I use Retro Metro 5 x 20cm tiles?

These slim glazed ceramic metro tiles are made for internal walls, so they suit kitchen splashbacks, bathroom and shower walls, fireplaces and feature walls. They are not rated for floors or outdoor use.

Why does the glaze look crackled?

Each tile carries a characterful crackle glaze, so fine crazing and gentle variation across the surface are part of the intended handcrafted look rather than a fault. We recommend sealing the glaze before grouting.

How many 5 x 20cm tiles will I need?

The tiles are sold individually and cover roughly 100 tiles per square metre. Add around 10% for cuts and wastage, and our team is happy to help you calculate quantities for your project.

Can I order a sample first?

Free cut samples are available to collect from our Ascot showroom, or we can post one for a small postage charge, so you can check the colour and crackle glaze in your own light before you order.
