Porcelain Subway Tile

Porcelain Subway Tile for Timeless Surfaces

Bring the classic charm of subway tile into your home with the clean lines and refined character of porcelain subway tile. Its elongated rectangular shape creates a sense of order, while the soft matte finish keeps the look warm and understated. With beige, gray, green, and white options, our tiles can complement everything from bright, airy interiors to richer, more nature-inspired spaces.

Apollo Tile’s collection features porcelain subway tiles in a versatile 3 × 16-inch format. Use them to create a welcoming porcelain subway tile backsplash, add character to a bathroom, or give a fireplace or feature wall a fresh architectural feel. The familiar shape of these porcelain tiles leaves plenty of room to play with layout, color, grout, and surrounding materials.

Popular Applications and Uses

The elongated format adapts easily to different rooms, while color and placement can completely change the finished look.

Kitchens and Backsplashes

Give your kitchen a polished backdrop with a porcelain subway tile backsplash. White and beige can keep the space bright and airy, while green options such as our Muted Olive Green 3x16 Matte Subway Porcelain Tile can introduce a pop of color. Pair these tiles with white cabinetry for a crisp look, or with natural wood tones to create harmony between green and brown.

Bathrooms and Showers

Create a fresh, coordinated porcelain subway tile bathroom around vanities, bathtubs, and selected wall areas. The elongated format works especially well in shower spaces, where a porcelain subway tile shower can add structure without making a smaller area feel overly busy. Our Earthy Terracotta 3x16 Matte Subway Porcelain Tile is a wonderful choice for farmhouse-style and Japandi bathrooms. The earthy shades of the tile add a calming, organic appeal.

Vertical subway layouts are popular for showers as they add a unique designer appeal, but you can also use a simpler pattern to create a subtle backdrop.

Living Spaces and Fireplace Surrounds

You can also use porcelain subway tiles for walls when you want to give an accent area a little more definition. Our impressive selection adds pizzazz to fireplace surrounds, and in neutral hues, they create a simpler backdrop for artwork, shelving, or decorative features.

For a more muted look, try options like Soft Gray 3x16 Matte Subway Porcelain Tile. The subtle, soft gray tones of this elongated tile are perfect for understated yet sophisticated focal points.

Pools, Steam Rooms, and More

Selected products in the collection are listed for shower floors, steam rooms, swimming pools, and spas. A porcelain subway tile floor can offer an unexpected take on the classic rectangular format when the product is specifically rated for flooring. Likewise, porcelain subway tiles for pools introduce a clean linear pattern to an approved water-related installation. Always check the individual product's specifications before choosing tile for these specialized spaces.
