Description
Greige Gloss 300 x 100 Subway Tile brings a classic, understated gloss finish to any wall — a genuine wet-area workhorse for splashbacks and feature walls that pairs naturally with a wide range of kitchen and bathroom colour schemes thanks to its warm, neutral greige tone. Being a rectangular subway format rather than a square tile, it opens up a much wider range of laying patterns than a standard square tile allows.
The classic subway proportion also gives real flexibility with grout colour: a contrasting grout makes the individual tile shape and bond pattern the visual feature, while a closely matched grout colour lets the wall read as a single, more continuous surface. At 32.5 tiles per square metre, coverage calculations are straightforward for planning a job.

Where to Use
- Benchtop splashbacks

How to Apply
- Plan the layout — choose a bond pattern (running bond, herringbone, stacked or another layout) before starting.
- Calculate quantity — order to the nearest square metre, allowing 32.5 tiles per m² plus a wastage allowance for cuts.
- Fix with a suitable tile adhesive — select an adhesive rated for the substrate and wet-area exposure.
- Grout — choose a contrasting or complementary grout colour to suit the desired finished look.
Important Notes
- Order to the nearest whole square metre, allowing extra for cuts and pattern layout.
- Confirm adhesive and grout compatibility for the specific wet-area application before installation.
Greige — the blend of grey and beige the name describes — solves a real specification problem: a pure grey tile can read cold against warm timber joinery, while a pure beige tile can look dated against cooler stone benchtops. Sitting between the two gives it genuine flexibility across a wider range of kitchen and bathroom colour schemes than either extreme, which is part of why it’s remained a popular subway tile choice rather than a passing trend.
Because greige sits between two more common tile colours, it also photographs and lights differently depending on the room’s natural and artificial light sources — a greige tile can read slightly warmer under warm-toned downlights and slightly cooler under daylight-balanced LED strips. It’s worth viewing a physical sample in the actual room’s lighting before committing to a full wall, since the colour can shift more visibly than a tile at either extreme of the grey-to-beige spectrum.
