Description
Hackney Terracotta Gloss Subway Tile is part of the Hackney Gloss collection, its undulating glazed finish and subtle colour variations giving the terracotta tone genuine depth and character rather than a flat, uniform surface. That variation is a deliberate design feature, letting each tile carry slightly individual character while still reading as a cohesive wall when laid across a larger area.
At 240mm x 69mm, it sits in a longer, narrower proportion than a standard subway tile, giving a genuinely different laying rhythm and pattern option compared with the more common 300 x 100mm format. Combined with its warm terracotta tone, it suits kitchens and bathrooms aiming for a contemporary, textured look rather than a flat, uniform colour field.
Its 240mm x 69mm proportion gives it a distinctly narrower, more elongated look than the more common 300 x 100mm subway format, opening up different laying patterns — a running bond with a tighter offset, herringbone or vertical stack — that read differently to a standard-format tile. Combined with the terracotta tone and undulating glaze, it’s suited to projects specifically looking for a handmade, artisanal character rather than a uniform, mass-produced finish.
Its 5-day delivery lead time, tied to availability, is worth building into a project schedule early, particularly if it’s being specified alongside other tiles or materials with different lead times for the same job. Its warm terracotta tone also pairs naturally with timber, brass and other earthy finishes commonly used in contemporary kitchen and bathroom design, giving specifiers a genuine alternative to the more common cool-toned glazed subway tiles.
