Tile planning by room
Choose tile by surface, exposure, format, and installation needs.
Bathroom tile, kitchen tile, wall tile, and floor tile solve different problems. Compare the rated application, water exposure, slip characteristics, format, finish, grout joints, trim, and substrate requirements before choosing by appearance alone.
Bathroom flooring and tile
For bathroom floors, showers, and wet areas, confirm the manufacturer's intended use, water absorption, surface grip, waterproofing system, edge finish, and compatible trim. Mosaic formats can help follow shower slopes, while larger formats reduce grout lines but demand a flatter substrate and careful layout.
Kitchen floors and backsplashes
Kitchen flooring should balance cleanability, comfort, durability, water exposure, and transitions to nearby rooms. Backsplash tile has different performance needs, so colour, scale, edge details, outlets, cabinetry, counters, and grout colour can lead the decision.
Installation scope and quote details
A useful tile quote identifies demolition, disposal, surface preparation, levelling, waterproofing, setting materials, pattern, cuts, grout, trim, sealing, transitions, and cleanup. Metro can help customers compare materials and prepare questions before final installation pricing is confirmed.
