Frequently Asked Questions
What are subway tiles, and why are they so popular?
Subway tiles are rectangular ceramic or porcelain tiles, typically 75mm x 150mm, laid in a brick-like pattern. They’ve remained popular due to their classic, clean look and ability to suit a wide range of design styles. They’re also affordable, easy to install, and work well in both modern and traditional interiors.
Where can I use subway tiles in my home?
Subway tiles are commonly used in kitchens and bathrooms but are also perfect for laundry rooms, fireplaces, and feature walls. Their moisture resistance makes them ideal for wet areas, while their neat, linear style helps visually expand smaller spaces. They can be installed vertically, horizontally, or in creative patterns to suit your design vision.
Are subway tiles easy to clean?
Yes, subway tiles are glazed and have a smooth surface, making them resistant to stains and easy to wipe down with a damp cloth. Their uniform shape also makes grout lines consistent, which helps minimise dirt buildup when properly sealed and maintained.
