Why Choose Black Subway Tile:

• Dramatic - Add drama to your home with black subway tile. This ultra-versatile tile can effortlessly enhance and elevate your tile projects, whether we’re talking about an elegant living room fireplace, a modern bar area, or a feature tile in your powder room. The rich, intense color, paired with glossy, polished, or matte finishes create a striking visual impact.
• Classic - Subway tile has solidified its place in the top of homeowner preferences, because it’s classic, versatile, and easy to style. If you pair that with a moody neutral color like black, that opens up a wide variety of styles and applications. Choose black subway tile herringbone layouts to add a sense of movement and dynamism, or a traditional running bond layout for your black subway tile backsplash.
• Neutral - Neutral tile may not seem exciting at first glance, but that’s precisely its strongest advantage. Black subway tiles can be styled in an ultra-minimalist, contemporary way, or can be made to look very classic and timeless. They can also create interesting shapes and designs, with the help of different layouts. Pair it with other neutrals or with bolder colors - truly anything goes.
• Durable - Homeowners choose the reliable black subway tile because in addition to looking timeless and sophisticated, it’s also incredibly durable and high-quality. The black subway tiles for sale at Tiletopia feature options made of hard-wearing porcelain, premium marble, durable glass, high-quality ceramic tile, or even black slate subway tile. Create a durable black subway tile floor for your mudroom or a long-wearing black subway tile wall for the laundry room.

Black Subway Tiles For Your Home

Ceramic Black Subway Tile

While there are many heat-resistant tile options to choose from, we recommend black subway ceramic tile for a black subway tile fireplace that sets the mood in your living room, guest room, or master bedroom. This lightweight, versatile option is easy to apply and enhances color beautifully. To add subtle detail to your fireplace design, consider a black beveled subway tile like Black 2.5 x 8 Glossy Ceramic Subway Deco Tile.

Matte Black Subway Tile

Pair a matte finish with a classic black subway tile when you want to create a modern style. This non-reflective finish is smooth to the touch and reduces glare, but it also has practical properties, like enhanced grip. Ideal for a black subway tile shower project that steals the show. Make your black subway tile shower the feature of your bath space with Black 2.5 x 8 Glossy, Matte Ceramic Subway Tile.

Glass Black Subway Tile

Take advantage of the non-porous, water-resistant quality of glass tile and create your dream black subway tile bathroom design. Suitable for both walls and floors, a contemporary matte tile option can set the tone for an ultra-modern, minimalist bathroom design. Or choose Black 4 x 16 Glossy Glass Subway Tile for a classic, understated black subway tile bathroom.

Honed Marble Black Subway Tile

For the homeowner who envisions luxury and a high-end design that will delight and impress, black marble subway tile is the answer. Imagine a black subway tile large format design for an outstanding living room wall with a commanding presence. Or a classic marble subway tile like Eastern Black 4 x 12 Honed Marble Subway Tile enveloping the walls and floors of an elegant guest bathroom.

Glossy Black Subway Tile

Black subway tile has a dramatic presence, but that can be further enhanced with the right finish. Black glossy subway tile amplifies the rich color of the tile - a high-shine finish that reflects light and gives this tile option a glamorous appearance. Suitable for both elegant designs and practical applications, choose Black 3x6 Glossy Glass Subway Tile for a beautiful, but low-maintenance black subway tile backsplash project.

Black Subway Tile Installation & Maintenance

• Prep: Before you start your installation, you should clean your surface thoroughly, so that the tile can adhere properly.
• Layout: Plan your layout before you start. If you’re tiling a floor, make sure that you start on the opposite side of the door, so that you can exit the room when you’re done.
• Thinset & grout: We recommend Laticrete 254 thinset and Laticrete Permacolor grout. For black subway tile, your grout can be matching black, white (for contrast) or a softer gray. Make liberal use of tile spacers, they will be invaluable for making sure you’re spacing your tiles evenly.
• Drying: Allow your tiles to dry for 24 to 48 hours before you walk over them or apply pressure on them.
