Why Choose Subway Tiles for Your Home?
Their shape suits classic brick-lay, herringbone, and vertical stack layouts. This flexibility lets you create a look that feels unique to your space.
Beyond looks, they are genuinely practical. The glazed surface resists stains and wipes clean in seconds. That practicality is exactly why they were chosen for public transport stations originally.
Popular Sizes and Finishes
Our best-selling size is the traditional 75x150. It is a true-to-original format suited to classic brick-bond layouts.
The elongated 60x240 has grown in popularity too, giving a more streamlined, modern look. Prefer a square format? Our 100x100 tiles offer a similar glossy or matte glaze, with a slightly different grid pattern.
Finish matters as much as size. Gloss reflects light beautifully, helping smaller kitchens and bathrooms feel brighter. Matte offers a softer, more contemporary look, and it also hides water spots and fingerprints more effectively.
Colour Options in Our Range
White remains the most classic choice and suits almost any interior style. Green brings warmth and character, especially paired with timber cabinetry or brass tapware.
Charcoal and grey suit moodier, more contemporary spaces. Beige and cream offer a warm neutral alternative to stark white.
Where to Use Them
They work beautifully as a kitchen splashback, laundry feature wall, or full bathroom wall treatment. Gloss finishes suit smaller kitchens and ensuites where light is a priority.
Many customers use them vertically behind a stove as a feature strip. This creates contrast against a simpler tile or painted wall on either side.
Pairing with Grout and Cabinetry
Grout colour changes the whole look of a tiled wall. A matching grout keeps things quiet and classic, letting the tile pattern speak for itself.
A contrasting grout can lift the whole design. Charcoal grout against white tile, for example, makes the brick-lay pattern pop with a more graphic, modern edge.
Consider your cabinetry tone too. Timber and white cabinetry pair beautifully with green or white tiles. Dark, moody cabinetry often suits charcoal or deep grey tones instead.
Caring for Your Tiles
Cleaning is simple. A damp cloth and mild detergent are usually enough to keep the glaze looking new.
Avoid abrasive scourers, which can dull the glossy finish over time. For grout, an occasional reseal helps prevent staining in wet areas like showers.
Our range is fully documented with size and finish details. You can plan your grout colour and layout before your tiler even arrives.
Installation and Grout Tips
Pair light colours with matching grout for a clean, classic look. For more contrast, try a dark grout against a white tile to highlight the pattern.
Always check whether your chosen tile suits wet areas before installing it. Some finishes vary in slip resistance and water absorption. A quick chat with your tiler can help confirm the right product for a shower floor versus a splashback.
