What’s the Difference Between Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles? (Simple Guide for Homeowners)
Choosing new tiles can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re faced with one of the most common questions: Should I choose ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles? Although they look similar, the two materials behave differently, perform differently, and suit different areas of the home. Understanding these differences will help you choose the right tile for your project, whether it’s a kitchen splashback, bathroom renovation, hallway floor or feature wall. Below, we break down what ceramic tiles are, what porcelain tiles are, and which one is best for your needs. What Are Ceramic Tiles? Ceramic tiles are made from a mixture of clay, water and natural materials that are fired at a slightly lower temperature than porcelain. This results in a tile that is: Lightweight Easy to cut Budget-friendly Perfect for indoor wall use They’re ideal for areas that don’t need extremely high durability, such as: Kitchen splashbacks Bathroom walls Feature walls Utility rooms Ceramic tiles are especially popular for metro tiles. What Are Porcelain Tiles? Porcelain tiles are made from a more refined clay and fired at much higher temperatures, making them: Much denser More durable Harder and less porous Suitable for high-traffic and wet areas Porcelain works perfectly for: Floors Bathrooms and wet rooms Kitchens Commercial spaces Anywhere you need extra strength Key Differences at a Glance Feature Ceramic Tiles Porcelain Tiles Density & Strength Medium Very high Water Absorption Higher Extremely low Best For Walls Floors + wet rooms Ease of Cutting Easier Harder (needs strong tools) Price Usually cheaper Usually more premium Durability Good Excellent Which Should You Choose? Here’s a quick guide to make your decision easier: Choose Ceramic If… ✔️ You’re tiling a wall✔️ You want something easy to cut and install✔️ You prefer a wallet-friendly option✔️ You’re choosing metro tiles for splashbacks or bathrooms Ceramic is perfect for almost all wall applications, especially our popular Metro and Dorset Handmade collections. Choose Porcelain If… ✔️ You’re tiling the floor✔️ You want maximum durability✔️ You’re choosing tiles for a wet room✔️ You want a premium, long lasting finish Porcelain is the stronger and more water-resistant choice, making it ideal for any area that takes heavy use. Are Porcelain Tiles Always Better? Not necessarily, they’re simply designed for different jobs. For floors and wet rooms, porcelain is unbeatable. For walls, splashbacks and decorative layouts, ceramic tiles are more than strong enough and offer more colour and style choices, especially in metro styles. Both materials are highly durable, long lasting, and easy to clean, making them excellent choices for any home. Final Thoughts Understanding the difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles helps ensure you choose the right product for your home, and avoid overspending where you don’t need to. Ceramic = perfect for walls Porcelain = perfect for floors + high-moisture areas

Are Metro Tiles Still on Trend? Here's Why They're More Stylish Than Ever
Metro tiles, also known as subway tiles, have been a staple in interior design for decades. But in 2025, the question still lingers: Are metro tiles still on trend? The answer is a confident yes—and here’s why. The Timeless Appeal of Metro Tiles Originally inspired by the tiled walls of early 20th-century underground stations, metro wall tiles have proven their staying power. Their clean lines, rectangular shape (typically 10x20cm), and versatility mean they continue to be a favourite for both modern and traditional homes. From sleek city apartments to charming cottages, metro tiles for kitchens and bathrooms are a go-to choice for effortless style. Why Metro Tiles Remain Popular in 2025 1. Endless Colour Options:From classic white metro tiles to bold hues like cobalt blue, sage green, and pink blush, homeowners now have a broad spectrum of shades to express their personal style. 2. Matt or Gloss? You Choose:Whether you're after a glossy metro tile for a high-shine splashback or a matt finish for a more muted, contemporary effect, there’s a finish to suit every space. 3. Creative Layouts:The beauty of metro tiles lies in how you use them. Go classic with a brick bond, or modern with a herringbone, vertical stack, or basketweave design. 4. Affordable Luxury:Metro tiles deliver high-end impact without the high-end price tag, making them a savvy option for budget-friendly renovations. Are Metro Tiles Still Worth It? If you're asking, "Should I choose metro tiles in 2025?" — the short answer is: absolutely. They're durable, easy to clean, and give kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms a polished, timeless look. Plus, with so many modern colourways and finishes, they continue to evolve with design trends. Top Tip for Styling Metro Tiles Pair metro tiles with contrasting grout (think white tile with charcoal grout) to make the layout pop, or match your grout to the tile for a seamless, minimalist aesthetic. Final Thoughts: Metro Tiles Aren't Going Anywhere In an age of fleeting trends, metro tiles are a rare example of a design classic that has stayed relevant through smart innovation and endless adaptability. Whether you're going for a retro metro tile look, a soft pastel palette, or bold and bright colour blocking, these rectangular beauties continue to offer style, practicality, and enduring charm. Boost your renovation with our full Metro Tile collection — available in a wide range of colours, finishes, and formats to suit every design vision.
Are Metro Tiles Still on Trend? Here's Why They're More Stylish Than Ever
Metro tiles, also known as subway tiles, have been a staple in interior design for decades. But in 2025, the question still lingers: Are metro tiles still on trend? The answer is a confident yes—and here’s why. The Timeless Appeal of Metro Tiles Originally inspired by the tiled walls of early 20th-century underground stations, metro wall tiles have proven their staying power. Their clean lines, rectangular shape (typically 10x20cm), and versatility mean they continue to be a favourite for both modern and traditional homes. From sleek city apartments to charming cottages, metro tiles for kitchens and bathrooms are a go-to choice for effortless style. Why Metro Tiles Remain Popular in 2025 1. Endless Colour Options:From classic white metro tiles to bold hues like cobalt blue, sage green, and pink blush, homeowners now have a broad spectrum of shades to express their personal style. 2. Matt or Gloss? You Choose:Whether you're after a glossy metro tile for a high-shine splashback or a matt finish for a more muted, contemporary effect, there’s a finish to suit every space. 3. Creative Layouts:The beauty of metro tiles lies in how you use them. Go classic with a brick bond, or modern with a herringbone, vertical stack, or basketweave design. 4. Affordable Luxury:Metro tiles deliver high-end impact without the high-end price tag, making them a savvy option for budget-friendly renovations. Are Metro Tiles Still Worth It? If you're asking, "Should I choose metro tiles in 2025?" — the short answer is: absolutely. They're durable, easy to clean, and give kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms a polished, timeless look. Plus, with so many modern colourways and finishes, they continue to evolve with design trends. Top Tip for Styling Metro Tiles Pair metro tiles with contrasting grout (think white tile with charcoal grout) to make the layout pop, or match your grout to the tile for a seamless, minimalist aesthetic. Final Thoughts: Metro Tiles Aren't Going Anywhere In an age of fleeting trends, metro tiles are a rare example of a design classic that has stayed relevant through smart innovation and endless adaptability. Whether you're going for a retro metro tile look, a soft pastel palette, or bold and bright colour blocking, these rectangular beauties continue to offer style, practicality, and enduring charm.
