Metro style tiles

To know the origin of this style of tiles we have to go back to 1904. It was at the inauguration of the New York subway when this type of tile was first seen. In that first work a beveled white tile of 10x20 format was used for the lining of the subway walls. This decoration concept was expanded to other capitals, such as Paris and London, which also used this type of tile for their underground tunnels.

Due to its history the subway type tiles have the mentioned characteristics, they are 10x20 cm in size tiles, in white color, bright texture and beveled edges, although currently the catalog of subway type tiles is much more extensive. In our online catalog you can buy this style of tiles in various colors, sizes, textures and different designs, because today the only premise that a meter-style tile has to have is that it maintains the aesthetics of a small and elongated tile.

These tile models are classic styles that are back in fashion. It could be classified as the vintage style that so much demand currently has in terms of home decoration. These tiles that stand out for their simplicity and elegance are often used as a coating on walls of bathrooms and kitchens.

In this post we show you some of the variants we have, but you will find many more in the online catalog of subway tiles or in our showroom in Valencia.
