Subway Ceramics

About Subway Ceramics

Thank you for visiting SubwayTile.com. We are pleased to have this opportunity to introduce you to the true reproduction standard for the classic subway tile that graced the early 20th Century American home.

Historically-authentic Subway Ceramics tile installations result in pencil-thin grout lines and a virtually flat tile surface, the distinctive qualities characteristic of Victorian-era tilework. The classic moldings and trim elements in the collection further define the refined simplicity and elegant functionality of these period bathrooms and kitchens.

The traditional tilework original to the period home had a unique appearance that is worth preserving. A careful examination of our gallery images from vintage bathrooms will help you understand the design sensibilities and aesthetic norms of those times. Used as a guide, they will help you to visualize how you will retain the essence of traditional tilework by using the Subway Ceramics collection in your next tile project.
