Polished Subway Tiles – Gentle Beauty

POLISHED PORCELAIN SUBWAY TILES ARE PURE PERFECTION

Polished porcelain subway tiles are a refined way to decorate your home. Tiles made from porcelain are hard-wearing, and both water and heat resistant, making polished porcelain subway tiles a versatile solution for your home. Suitable for floors, walls and backsplashes, some tile brands can also be used for countertops, adding that extra level of finesse to a minimalist, natural interior theme. 

Browsing our range, you will see some of our polished porcelain subway tiles can withstand freezing temperatures, giving you the freedom to merge your interiors with your exteriors. Creating a wonderful outdoor patio and barbeque area, perfect for socializing, has never been more tempting. 

Our color palette is full of classic hues like milky whites, silver grays, and sandy beige in exquisite natural stone imitations that draw inspiration from granite and marble. These realistic stone finishes will almost certainly turn heads and make you look twice.

POLISHED CERAMIC SUBWAY TILE - THE CHOICE FOR ACCESSIBLE STYLE

Ceramic subway tiles are an excellent choice for your home makeover. As ceramic is one of the most affordable tile options available, it is an economical choice for covering large areas. Available in a selection of flexible neutral shades, you will find these tiles have a beautiful, lightly reflective surface that will have an instant brightening effect in your rooms.  

Our polished ceramic subway tiles are water-resistant, making them a perfect choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. Hard-wearing and easy to maintain, any spills and splashes can be easily wiped away with a simple soap and water solution. Tile is also naturally resistant to dust, dirt, pet hair and harmful pollutants, making it easier to keep these environmental irritants at bay.

A bonus for the novice DIYers among us: ceramic is much easier to cut than porcelain and natural stone, meaning there’s no need for professional tools.

CAN YOU USE POLISHED CERAMIC SUBWAY TILE FOR FLOORING?

It is not recommended to use polished ceramic subway tiles for flooring in high-traffic areas, as the smooth surface increases the risk of slipping. Matte or honed floor tiles are a better option, as they offer more traction.

HOW DO YOU LAY POLISHED CERAMIC SUBWAY TILE?

Polished ceramic subway tiles can be laid in much the same way as other tiles. Tiling is a messy job, so remember to protect your surrounding surfaces first. Plan your layout, working from the center of the wall. If you find there are lots of small gaps, adjust your layout accordingly so that you don’t need to fill in lots of small gaps with slivers of tile. When you are satisfied, apply thin-set adhesive with a notched trowl. Place your tiles using spacers to keep them separated and at an even distance apart. When set, apply grout. As ceramic tiles don’t need to be sealed, why not use our fast setting grout that never needs to be sealed?

ARE POLISHED MARBLE SUBWAY TILES SLIPPERY?

Polished marble has been buffed to remove all irregularities from the surface, and as such, it is slippery when used as flooring. However, there are some products, anti-slip impregnators, that help make them less so. These treatments work to increase surface grip without reducing the shine.
