Olympia Tile Metropolis Clover Green Glossy Ceramic Subway Tile 3" x 12"

A backsplash or a shower wall is looked at up close every day, so the colour, the sheen and the grout line count for more than they do on a floor. Metropolis Clover Green is made for that wall.

In simple terms: Metropolis Clover Green is a 3x12 ceramic subway tile for walls only, such as backsplashes and shower walls.

It is the glossy finish in Clover Green from the Olympia Tile Metropolis range. The actual size is 2.95" x 11.81", or 7.5 x 30 cm.

It is 7.8 mm thick. Ceramic has a lighter, softer body than porcelain, which makes it easy to cut and set, and it is mostly used on walls.

It suits kitchen backsplashes, feature walls, bathroom and shower walls and tub surrounds. Pick it over a porcelain floor tile for walls, since it is lighter and easier to cut around outlets and corners; keep a porcelain on the floor.

Each box holds 50 pieces and covers 12.16 sq ft, so a 30 sq ft kitchen backsplash takes 3 boxes, and that still leaves about 10% extra for cuts and spares. For every 100 sq ft, plan on 10 boxes with the 10% extra included.

It is listed for walls only, so do not put it on a floor, including a shower floor. No outdoor rating is listed, so keep it on indoor walls.

In this size, Metropolis also comes in Black, Cool Grey Light, Deep Violet, Linen Bone and Navy Blue.

Our own crews install it, so the people who measure the job are the people who answer for it. See Olympia Tile Metropolis Clover Green in person at our Mississauga showroom (700 Dundas St E, Unit 3-4, 905-277-2227) or our Barrie showroom (112 Saunders Rd, Units 1-4, 705-726-2272).
