Classic Urban Style: Retro Metro South Kensington Glazed Tile

Introduce a sense of iconic, urban elegance to your interior with the Retro Metro South Kensington Glazed Tile from Fired Earth.

Inspired by the classic design of the London Underground, the Retro Metro collection offers a timeless aesthetic that suits both contemporary and traditional spaces. The South Kensington colourway brings a deep, sophisticated tone to your walls, while the undulating surface and highly reflective Gloss finish bounce light beautifully around the room, creating depth and character.

Measuring an elongated 300mm x 100mm with a standard 10mm thickness, these premium ceramic tiles are specifically engineered for internal wall applications. Their versatile brick format allows for endless design possibilities, from a classic brick-bond splashback in a country kitchen to a striking herringbone feature wall in a modern bathroom shower.

The Hyperion Family Promise

  • Design Continuity - We supply hand-picked collections from Fired Earth, ensuring a seamless transition for your project.
  • Durable Gloss Finish - The high-quality glaze is designed to resist moisture and maintain its highly reflective beauty in both kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Try Before You Buy - We highly recommend ordering a sample to appreciate the undulating surface and rich colour in your own home lighting before placing your full order.
  • Dedicated Delivery - We ensure safe and secure delivery for your home renovation project.
  • Personalised Project Support - Our family-run team at Hyperion is available to help you calculate quantities and provide professional layout advice for herringbone or brick-bond patterns.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • Adhesive: Use a high-quality flexible tile adhesive suitable for glazed ceramic wall tiles.
  • Grout Joint: A 2mm to 3mm grout joint is recommended to allow the slightly undulating edges to sit harmoniously together.
  • Sealing & Cleaning: As a standard glazed tile, sealing is not necessary. Maintain the finish easily with warm water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads that could scratch the gloss surface.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

How many tiles do I need?

The Retro Metro South Kensington 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), 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 classic glazed ceramic wall tiles are highly suited for use on bathroom walls, shower enclosures, and as beautiful, easy-to-clean kitchen splashbacks.

Do these tiles need to be sealed?

No. The high-quality gloss glaze provides a permanent, non-porous barrier against moisture and staining, meaning tile sealing is not necessary for this product.
