WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MOSAIC TILES?
Our mosaic wall tiles offer an array of captivating designs and versatile layouts that transform any space. Our collection includes mosaic tiles in Baton, Metro, Palma and Linear styles that can be installed to your preferred pattern such as herringbone.

METRO
Metro tiles are rectangular tiles traditionally used in subway stations, particularly in cities such as New York and London. Their classic, clean lined appearance suits both traditional and modern interiors, making them a versatile option. While traditionally laid horizontally, metro tiles can also be arranged in various patterns such as herringbone, or vertically to create different design effects.

PALMA
Palma tiles are inspired by the rustic charm of Mediterranean architecture, particularly influenced by the aesthetic found in destinations such as Palma de Mallorca in Spain. These tiles are often characterised by their organic, handcrafted appearance, soft textures, and earthy tones that evoke a natural, warm ambience. Palma mosaic tiles are typically used to add a decorative element to interiors, such as feature walls, and are known for their versatility in creating visually interesting layouts such as herringbone, brickbond and vertical patterns.
Tile colours include Gentle Teal, Apricot Bliss and Classic Mocha.

BATON
Baton tiles are defined by their elongated, rectangular shape which is a modern take on the classical design of subway tiles. Enhanced by a palette of soft pastel hues and neutral tones with a matte finish that creates a tactile surface. The mosaic wall tiles offer a versatile and contemporary design option for walls, backsplashes, and other surfaces.

LINEAR
Linear tiles display a narrow, rectangular shape that emphasises clean, straight lines ideal for modern and minimalist interiors. The timeless design draws inspiration from architectural elements such as linear patterns found in nature, urban landscapes and industrial design. These linear mosaic tiles can be laid out vertically or horizontally and can be used in a variety of settings to add texture and depth to walls.

STICK
Stick mosaic tiles are renowned for their narrow, elongated rectangular shape that are typically arranged in horizontal, staggered, or stacked patterns, creating a sleek, contemporary look that adds texture and depth to surfaces. Our collection of stick tiles features a glazed finish which provides a lustrous gloss surface that enhances the beautiful colour of each tile.

ANTIQUE
Antique metro tiles feature an aged appearance, evoking the charm and character of historical designs. While standard metro tiles are typically glossy and have a clean, modern look, antique metro tiles are designed to mimic the wear and patina of original tiles found in vintage subway stations such as New York City and London. These mosaic tiles incorporate distressed finishes, and textured surfaces, giving them a more rustic and authentic feel.
Available in subtle blue colour variations including Deep Sea Blue, Soft Powder Blue and Serene Teal.

HOW DO YOU CLEAN MOSAIC TILES?
Mosaic tiles require care and attention in order to maintain their beauty and quality. Cleaning them regularly and using the correct cleaning products is important to ensure the mosaic tiles will last for years to come. This can prevent stains, and preserve the glazed and matte finish as well as the colour. Bathroom tiles should be cleaned regularly, as they often collect soap residue and bacteria build-up. Cleaning your tiles often ensures the bathroom is fresh, eliminating dirt and grime. Follow our guide below in order to maintain the immaculate appearance of your tiles.
- To clean the full area of your mosaic wall tile, use a cleaning solution, that is recommended for your style of tiles mixed with water before using a microfibre cloth to distribute it across your tiles.
- If you are removing stains from your mosaic wall tiles use warm water and a soft nylon brush to wipe the stains in a circular motion. Only use the brush in wet areas as this may cause harm to dry tiles when contacted directly with the brush.
- Finally, dry your tiles using a microfibre cloth.
