Unsure which colors, sizes, shapes, or materials to choose? Our collection includes something for every type of space and every type of installation, no matter how small or large the space.

Industrial Tile Colors

The industrial aesthetic centers around neutral colors like white, gray, beige, black, and brown. If you’re looking to bring in metallic accents or pops of color, reflective golds and silvers, calming blues, and natural green hues are also available. Neutral marble tiles like our White 12x24 Bianco Carrara Marble Honed Large Tile feature elegant gray veining that adds depth and visual interest while pairing effortlessly with cabinetry, hardware, furnishings, and raw architectural elements.

Industrial Tile Materials and Finishes

Matte porcelain is one of the most enduring materials, and it’s as perfect as an industrial tile floor in a high-traffic area as it is on a wall in your kitchen, bath, or shower. Marble, available in polished and honed finishes, looks stunning in kitchens and baths, while our hardwood tiles can mimic natural hardwood floors or turn walls and backsplashes into wooden focal points. Before choosing a material and finish, check the product specifications to ensure it’s suitable for use in the area you plan to install it.

Industrial Tile Shapes

Designers partial to the industrial aesthetic often gravitate toward field tile, hexagon tile, and brick tile shapes. Field tiles are generally large format rectangles or squares that don’t require a lot of complicated cuts during installation. Hexagon tile, available as small mesh-mounted mosaics and larger individual tiles, can create dazzling patterns and add rich texture in any area of the home. Staggered brick tiles, which are often multicolored, can be mounted horizontally to make a space look wider or vertically to make a room feel taller or longer.

In addition to color, shape, material, and finish, consider how the texture of the tile might also elevate your industrial room design. Our Gray 24x48 Matte Porcelain Large Tile is an ideal example of how you can bring raw texture and the rich character of wood into a space that’s otherwise lacking architectural industrial elements.

How to Install and Maintain Industrial Tile

If you want your floors to last for decades, proper installation is a must. We always recommend hiring a professional to do the job, but if you’re determined to DIY it, here’s a snapshot of how it’s done:

• Surface preparation: Tiling over existing tile is not recommended. To prepare the surface, remove existing tile and trim. Install backerboard, level, and clean the surface.
• Dry layout: Find the center of the surface and mark the spot. Lay your tiles out dry, without adhesive, to ensure that you are creating a centered, well-spaced layout.
• Mix and mortar: Mix thinset and apply to the surface, working in small sections so it doesn’t dry out.
• Set the tile: Press each tile into the mortar, cutting tiles that need to be trimmed as you go. Depending on the size and type of tile, use spacers as needed.
• Grout: Grout using the manufacturer’s recommended type and brand of grout.
• Clean the haze: When the grout is completely dry, use a damp sponge to remove the haze.

Proper installation alone won’t ensure the longevity of your tile. It’s also important to perform routine cleaning and maintenance, including grout sealing and tile sealing if you’re working with natural stone tiles.

Give Your Home a New Look

Industrial interiors often rely on architectural elements like exposed metal pipes, natural concrete or brick, and raw wood materials. But in a space lacking those distinctive structural details, a great industrial tile feature can help bring that vibe into your home. Placed in small areas, like a wall behind a guest bath vanity, or expansive spaces, such as the floor on the main level of an open concept home, industrial-style tile makes it clear you have an eye for design. From dark and modern black field tile to bright white Carrara marble tile that exudes timeless style, our industrial tile collection features an option for every outdoor area, and every interior space.
