PORCELAIN SUBWAY TILE VARIATIONS

There are hundreds of types of porcelain subway tiles and with so much choice it can make choosing a tile design impossible! Unlike traditional ceramic tiles, porcelain subway tiles are made using a type of clay that is considered highly durable due to their thicker density. Because of this, many people favor porcelain tiles for kitchen backsplashes and other areas where ‘wear and tear’ is likely to occur. 

Almost all porcelain subway tiles are glazed or painted, this means you will have plenty of options when it comes to patterns. From minimal neutral color combinations to more bold, eccentric colors and zigzagging, we stock porcelain subway tiles of all types. 

WHITE PORCELAIN SUBWAY TILE USES 

The classic white porcelain subway tile is the most iconic of all. This classic subway tile was first used in underground subway stations across NYC and is now seen as a popular favorite for all types of interior design. Who would of thought it? White porcelain subway tiles are essential for any home renovation, especially if your style is modern minimalism. These tiles look great for a clean bathroom finish and can be used specifically in shower enclosures too, if you do not want to tile a whole wall. 

Likewise, porcelain subway tiles in white make a great backsplash for a contemporary kitchen and look beautiful paired with black or gray cabinets. White subway tiles are also highly practical since they are far less likely to break or get damaged due to their density.

HOW MUCH ARE SUBWAY PORCELAIN TILES?

Since these types of tiles are made using more expensive clay, porcelain, you can expect to pay slightly more than for a standard ceramic tile. 

WHAT IS A SUBWAY TILE IN PORCELAIN?

If you are wondering what the differences are between a standard subway tile made of ceramic and one made of porcelain, you must look at the manufacturing process. Standard ceramic whilst strong is not as durable or dense as porcelain, therefore many people favor porcelain as it usually lasts longer.

WHAT ARE THE PROS OF PORCELAIN SUBWAY TILES?

Porcelain is in essence glorified ceramic; porcelain follows a different manufacturing process making the end product far stronger and superior.
