subway tile (plural subway tiles)
From the tile used on the turn-of-the-century NYC subway
Established in 2006, Subway Ceramics has set the standard for the historically-authentic reproduction of our pre-war, American heritage tilework. Commonly known as “subway tile”, the Subway Ceramics collection represents the distinctive tilework used in over 40 years of American home and commercial construction.
Subway Ceramics tile installations result in pencil-thin grout lines and a virtually flat tile surface, the distinguishing characteristics of pre-war tilework. Combined with classic mouldings, radius trim elements and ceramic accessories, this collection recreates the refined simplicity and elegant functionality of these period bathrooms and kitchens.
The most common tile forms used to cap a wainscot wall were the simple mud cap trim and the more decorative p-cap moulding. Both of these options are available with a complete set of special trim elements for inside, outside down and up corners transitions. |
