Vintage European Style: Retro Metro Marble Arch Glazed Tile

Introduce a sense of classic, nostalgic elegance to your interior with the Retro Metro Marble Arch 10x30cm Glazed Tile from Fired Earth.

Belonging to the popular Retro Metro collection — Retro for its vintage style and Metro for the iconic subway tile shape — this rectangular wall tile brings a timeless aesthetic to any space. The Marble Arch colourway features a soft white tone that brightens rooms beautifully. Finished with a delicate Crackle Glaze, each tile presents a unique, variably crazed surface that enhances its handcrafted character and adds sophisticated depth to your walls.

Measuring an elongated 300mm x 100mm with a slim 5mm thickness, these premium ceramic tiles are specifically engineered for internal wall applications. Their versatile format allows for a variety of creative laying patterns, from a traditional horizontal brick-bond splashback in a country kitchen to a sleek vertical stack in a modern, spa-like bathroom.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • Adhesive: Use a high-quality white flexible tile adhesive suitable for glazed ceramic wall tiles to prevent shadowing through the light-coloured glaze.
  • Grout Joint: A 3mm grout joint is recommended to allow the slightly variable edges 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 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?

The Retro Metro Marble Arch tiles are sold individually, requiring 33 tiles to cover 1m². To ensure you have enough for cuts, wastage, and specific laying patterns (such as herringbone or brick bond), we 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 vintage-inspired glazed ceramic wall tiles are highly suited for use on bathroom walls, shower enclosures, and as beautiful kitchen splashbacks. They are also suitable for use around hearths and fireplaces (provided they are at least 30cm from the direct heat source).

Do these tiles need to be sealed?

Yes. Because these tiles feature a distinctive crackle glaze (which is prone to variable crazing), tile sealing is strictly required before grouting to protect the delicate surface from moisture and staining in kitchens and wet areas.
