Common Applications for White Subway Tiles

White Subway Tile Backsplash for Kitchen

Choose a glossy white subway tile backsplash to bring visual warmth and elegance to a modern kitchen. Light bounces off the surface and fills the room with a luminous glow. Consider Warm Greige 3x12 Glossy Subway Glass Tile as the room’s focal point and pair it with white, black, or wooden cabinetry for an upscale look! For a classic aesthetic, you can stick to 3x6 subway tile in crisp white and use charcoal or black grout for a striking twist.

White Subway Tile for Bathrooms

Use matte white subway tile bathroom flooring in a textured marble finish for both safety and beauty. For a vintage-inspired setting, you can go for our 4×4 matte subway tiles in grid or offset pattern. Handmade-look Zellige, such as the White 4x4 Glossy Matte Subway Ceramic Tile, brings artisanal charm to the scheme of things.

White Subway Tile for Outdoors

Apollo Tile's weather-resistant marble white subway tiles can be used on covered patios and garden walls. For an outdoor glow, install 4×12 honed natural stone on the patio wall and floor, white wood beams overhead, and greenery to finish the appearance.

Maintenance Tips for White Subway Tiles

Clean tiles regularly with a microfiber cloth, warm water, and mild tile cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners as they can dull the tile surface. Seal marble tiles yearly to guard against moisture, stains, and scratches. Grout lines should also be sealed periodically to prevent staining or discoloration.
