SUBWAY TILE
Whether you are looking
for a traditional white subway tile or a ceramaic subway brick with
an updated look, Tileshop has a large selection from which to choose.
The 3 x 6 brick-shaped subway tile was introduced into popularity at the turn
of the century when the New York City Subway opened. Today, subway tiles are
diverse in size, finish and color, and no longer are only reserved for residential
bathroom installations.
In the past, subway tile featured plain border pieces and was paired with
beadboard paneling and
hex
mosaics. Today, you will find it paired with many different
types of tile from glass to metal. Whether you are looking to restore a traditional
home or searching for a modern classic, subway tiles may be your design solution.
We offer an array of tile perfect for restoration of a traditional home.
For the floor we have both
spiral and plaid patterned
mosaics, as well
as the popular
hex mosaics. For the walls,
Lanka
Tile offers a machine
made, white subway tiles, as well as a handmolded series that offers
the appeal of a handcrafted product with individual subtleties of size,
thickness and surface irregularities. Both lines are available in several
sizes and colors with various accent, molding and trim pieces.
Metro,
also from Lanka, is another wall tile with a beveled edge that is reminiscent
of the late 1950’s. It is edgy and urban, while
still retaining a classic and traditional appearance.
