8 Pack of Silver Mirror Glass Subway Tile 75x300mm (MT0193)

Product Information

Metro tiles will look incredible however they are laid, that’s part of their lure, but if you’re feeling creative, why not experiment with a completely different layout? Daintier room designs are best matched with mini metro tiles, while larger alternatives in pale colours like cream or light grey are ideal if you’re looking to create the illusion of additional space in your modestly sized property. Loved by design professionals and do-it-yourself homeowners, mirror tiles are sure to add a rich, luminous quality to any internal environment. Yes! You can use our Beveled Clear mirror subway tiles as a wall accent throughout your interior. We recommend following the installation instructions for these tiles, regardless of if they're installed on drywall or directly on the mirror frame - they should be installed with a glass tile adhesive and grouted in place. Which brings us into another fun part of this journey! The pattern layout! You have two choices here: an eclectic mix or a uniform pattern. You want a mixed look; choose four to five patterns of tile. This ensures that there will never be two of the same pattern touching (if you are careful with your layout step!).

Red: make your walls demand attention with loud and proud hues like fire engine red subway tiles or go for bold and moody interiors with rich mulberry hues like those in our Stromboli tiles range For this glass tile, we recommend using Laticrete Thins-set Mortar Glass tile adhesive and Laticrete Permacolor Select Non-Sanded Grout Base The Antique Mirror Glass is not porous as the surface is solid glass. As long as the tile does not get hotter than 150F, it will not change in appearance. Of course, longevity is a desirable quality in a tile - but there’s more to longevity than hard-wearing materials that can handle their fair share of wear and tear. At Tiles Direct, we’d say lasting beauty is just as important as durability. Sometimes, this means making compromises, foregoing heavy patterns in favour of something timeless and evergreen, but with metro wall tiles it’s possible to have the best of both worlds.While these mirrored glass tiles are not porous, we always recommend regularly sealing grout lines between tiles to improve the life of your beautiful install!

Grout joints between Beveled Antique Mirror Glass Tiles should be between 1/8th" and 1/16th" to allow space between the tiles. Inverted: perfect for bringing new depth and perspective, inverted metro wall tiles have a sunken centre that offers an eye-catching alternative to original styles White: if cool and classic is your must-have interior, simple white subway tiles on the walls will see you through to monochrome perfectionLet’s get the ball rolling with a confession…subway tiles (the regular kind) are 3 x 6. Hmm…so why are our antique mirror subway tiles 4 x 8? Well, the answer is simple, my sister and I just thought that we would use 4 x 8 and – it seemed subway-ish enough at the time so we ran with it…never expecting that two years down the road, antique mirror subway tile would become so popular that others would copy our design (and “creative” size) or that big retailers would offer the product – but in the “traditional” dimensions. When I recently came to the realization that 4" x 8" was not actually a subway tile size, I found it funny, yet flattering that our perfect size was being copied by vendors. You know what they say, imitation is the best form of flattery. Thank you, we are flattered. The first subway tiles were designed by George C. Heins and Christopher Grant La Farge. Chosen for their aesthetic appeal and easy-clean, durable glazed surface, subway tiles offered a practical solution to decorate the first underground railway station, City Hall, in New York. Subway tiles are extremely versatile and you can create the most incredible tile designs with them. Add even more interest to a herringbone tile lay with contrasting colours to create a bathroom wall with a difference.

Either way, we think these tiles make an elegant addition to a bathroom.

I must warn you that it can be addictive…you may find yourself forgoing sleep to layout the perfect pattern or covering every surface with an antique mirror…don’t say I didn’t warn you! An instant hit, it wasn’t long before subway tiles crossed the Atlantic and began appearing in underground stations in other major cities like London and Paris. Durable:made from hard, glazed materials like ceramic, porcelain and glass, metro wall tiles provide a strong and robust layer to protect walls against daily wear and tear Whether you’re looking for a smooth or textured option, we can facilitate it. Textured subway tiles include a bumpy surface that will reflect the light around your room to create depth, also enhancing the look of space. If it's a smooth surface you’re looking for, these can enhance a modern look and feel in the home, so create a contemporary scheme. These options lead to the question of Matt Tiles or Gloss Tiles? Matt or Gloss? Flat/rectified: like the original subway tile, flat-edge styles deliver a nice smooth and clean finish to walls that can make them easier to clean

From red to violet and everything in between, if you fancy adding a pop of colour to your bathroom, metro tiles are probably your best bet. The boom in demand for subway tiles has resulted in a rainbow of colours and an impressive range of textures. Basketweave This detailed layout involves placing 2 or more tiles alongside each other to form squares or rectangles. The layout of the tiles within the square will vary depending on the tile size. The desired design goal ultimately determines the style and pattern that best serves the look of your interior space. Additionally, an accent wall that extends from the floor all the way up to the ceiling takes up more surface area for the pattern to develop and be noticed.
