The first subway tile was crafted in 1904 in New York exclusively for the NYC subway system! Architects George C. Heins and Christopher Grant la Farge conceived the idea of subway tiles to enhance the visual appeal of this new form of urban transportation.

The white 3″ x 6″ tiles were the perfect material since they are easy to clean and stain-resistant.

Subway tiles gained such popularity that, by the 1920s, people began incorporating them into their homes, and they continue to be a top choice today. The beauty of Subway Tile lies in its flexibility. People have become creative with different ways of laying the tiles, breaking away from the typical brick layout and orienting them vertically or stacked horizontally or in a herringbone pattern.

Subway tiles are classic, clean, durable, and effortlessly stylish. The rectangular tile has become an interior design staple across residential and commercial settingsā€¦even in pool design!
