Metro
Concrete Industrial Look Tile And Mosaic.
Metro
Metro captures the urban concrete aesthetic with matching mosaic options.
Urban concrete gets a softer palette in Metro, which spans cool Silver and Dark Grey alongside the warmer Sabbia and Beige. Each colour carries the mottled, slightly weathered face of aged cement, printed without repeats, and the collection includes matching mosaic options for detail areas. Field tiles come in 24x48 and 24x24 with a matte finish.
Metro is 1cm porcelain rated for indoor floors and walls, so the concrete look can move through a whole home without sealing or fuss. The warm colourways are the quiet advantage here: Sabbia and Beige bring cement style to Metro Vancouver homes that skew traditional or coastal, where a stark cool grey might feel out of place.

Applications
Where Metro Works
Whole home flooring
Running one Metro colour through halls, kitchen and living space in 24x48 minimizes grout interruptions and gives an apartment or townhouse a coherent, architectural base.
Shower floors with mosaics
The matching mosaic format follows drain slopes and adds grout lines for grip underfoot, letting you keep one material from shower pan to ceiling in the same colour.
Warm minimalist bathrooms
Sabbia and Beige soften the concrete aesthetic for spa-leaning bathrooms, pairing with wood vanities and off-white tubs where cooler greys would read cold. The matte finish suits wet floors.
Accent and niche walls
Dark Grey in a shower niche or behind open shelving adds depth without introducing a new material. The mosaic sheets make tight curves and small returns easier to tile.
Design Notes
Pairing & Layout Ideas
Metro's warm tones invite natural textures: rattan, linen and white oak all sit comfortably on a Sabbia floor, while Silver and Dark Grey suit steel, glass and painted brick. Within the cement look family, compare it against Concrete for a purer grey take or Macigno for a full-body option in a wider palette. Use the mosaic in the same colour as your field tile, and pick a grout one shade off to gently define the sheets.
FAQ
Metro Questions
Does Metro include mosaic options?
Yes, the collection includes matching mosaics in the same colours as the field tile. They are most often used on shower floors, niches and other detail areas where smaller pieces handle slopes and cuts more gracefully than a 24x48 tile can.
Can Metro handle radiant in-floor heating?
Yes. Porcelain works well over radiant systems and transfers warmth efficiently, a welcome trait in concrete look floors that would otherwise feel cool. Installation over a heated substrate is standard practice; just confirm your installer follows the heating manufacturer's tile guidelines.
How do I clean a matte concrete look tile?
A vacuum or soft broom followed by a damp mop with a pH neutral tile cleaner covers routine care. Avoid oil-based or wax cleaners that leave films on matte surfaces. There is no sealing schedule to keep, since porcelain absorbs almost nothing.
Can I compare all four Metro colours in person?
Yes, displays at our Richmond location show the collection's colours together, which helps because Sabbia and Beige are close relatives. Seeing them beside your cabinet or paint samples, which you are welcome to bring in, makes the call much easier.
