Rectangular tiles with beveled edges became popular around year 1900. This type of tiles are often called Metro tiles, because it was put up in the subway in Paris - Le Metro. The term half-tile comes from the fact that 7.5 x15 cm is half of 15 x 15cm (5.91 x 5.91 in.) which was a very common size of tiles. In the early 1900s half-tiles were mostly used in the fancier parts of the homes, for example in washrooms and kitchen areas where even the apartment/house owners were staying.
The tiles suit perfect above the sink or on the bathroom walls and should be mounted like bricks, i.e. with a semi-flattened displacement over respectively below a set tile. This tile is made of white clay, and each plate has been manufactured separately, which means that the plates have smooth edges. See below under related articles for matching edging tiles etc.
All parts in this series have small subtle crackles in the glaze, which contributes to a beautiful surface. For wet rooms, we recommend this tile to be impregnated with, for example, FILA MP90. Read more in the guide for Installation & maintenance.
