Product story
Elegant Off-White: Retro Metro South Kensington 7.5 x 15cm
A soft, inviting off-white metro tile with an authentic crackle glaze — Retro Metro South Kensington from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.
Inspired by the elegant interiors of one of London's most refined boroughs, South Kensington is a warm, creamy off-white — softer and more welcoming than a stark brilliant white. It makes a perfect neutral canvas, letting architecture and furnishings take centre stage. The thick glaze carries a deliberate crackle (crazing) that catches the light and adds instant vintage depth.
The versatile 7.5 x 15cm brick format opens up brick-bond, herringbone and stack layouts. As a glazed ceramic wall tile it is for interior walls; we recommend sealing the crackle glaze before grouting.

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.

Installation & Care Tips
Installation & care
- Adhesive & Grout: Fix to interior walls with a white flexible adhesive suitable for glazed ceramic to avoid shadowing beneath the pale glaze, using a fine 2–3mm joint.
- Sealing: Seal the crackle glaze before grouting to stop grout pigment settling into the crazing, then seal again afterwards for a watertight finish.
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with warm water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads. Test dark grout on a spare tile first, as it can emphasise the crazing.
If you have any questions, you are always welcome to contact us. We'll get back to you as soon as possible, within 24 hours on weekdays.
