Collection: 4x16 Tile

These 4x16 tile designs strike the same timeless and versatile look as a traditional subway tile, but in a more elongated format. That additional length is a small change in size but creates a great impact in design. Long subways naturally open things up when used as a 4x16 tile backsplash or shower wall. It's excellent for that uncluttered, clear flow in spaces especially when used in the classic brick layout. When installed vertically, these 4x16 tiles give a more modern feel to your interiors. They’re also perfect for adding height to small showers, entryways, and powder rooms. Small places feel instantly brighter, especially with luminous glass 4x16 tile options from our collection.

Our 4x16 Tile Collection - A Fresh Take on The Classic Subway Tile

There are so many alternatives in our 4x16 tile selection that you will want to look around. This collection compiles choices that showcase the subway format in a unique way. Here’s what’s in our online store for you. 

Glass is where this collection really shines. A kitchen backsplash made of sapphire blue glass subway tile looks like the cover of a design magazine. How about a warm greige 4x16 tile backsplash? Perfect for a sophisticated, soft bathroom that looks pricey while maintaining a natural look. 

For a spotless, bright kitchen that is always in style, use crisp white 4x16 tiles for the backsplash area. Your space instantly feels larger with the glossy glass finish that reflects light. And don't be alarmed by the clean white looks; glass tiles can be wiped clean in a matter of seconds, as the stain and water-resistant finish requires no upkeep at all.

Additionally, each color in this collection deserves its own moment. Create bathrooms you'll actually want to spend more time in, by designing a tropical-inspired sky-blue 4x12 tile shower. For rooms that are both dramatic and welcoming, use brooding blacks and cool gray subway tiles. 

And if you're prepared to fully dedicate yourself to a saturated, jewel-toned wall, go for cobalt blue tile in 4x16 format. Pair it with brass fixtures and natural wood accents to have your whole space feel like it was inspired by a luxury hotel.

Tips for Installing 4x16 Tiles 

• Plan your subway tile layout: To prevent awkward cuts and make sure the pattern flows naturally throughout the room, always dry-lay your 4x16 tiles before using any adhesive.

• Start at the middle line: To create a balanced 4x16 tile floor or wall pattern, start installation in the center of your surface and work your way outward.

• Maintain uniform grout lines: For longer tiles such as a 4x16 subway tile, use spacers to ensure uniform spacing between each tile. 

• Select the appropriate adhesive: Use a thinset that is suitable for your particular tile material, as marble and glass have different needs when it comes to adhesive.

• Choose your pattern in advance: Creating different layouts with your 4x16 tile? Finalize your pattern in advance, regardless of whether you choose a stacked, horizontal, or herringbone layout, before starting cuts. 

• After completion, seal the grout in kitchens and bathrooms to prevent stains and moisture buildup in grout lines. For marble subway tile, seal your material as well so you can prolong the appearance of your tiles. 4x16 glass tiles are already nonporous, meaning no sealing is needed for your tiles.
