5x10 Subway Tiles
The 5x10 Subway Tile brings a modern edge to the iconic subway tile design, combining sleek geometry with refined elegance for kitchens, bathrooms, and feature walls. Their slender, rectangular proportions add dimension and character while preserving the enduring charm that has made subway tiles a design staple across both residential and commercial spaces.
These rectangular ceramic or porcelain tiles offer a contemporary interpretation of classic subway tile styling. These versatile tiles come in a range of finishes-spanning from high-gloss to matte surfaces-making them perfect for backsplash applications, shower walls, or complete wall coverage. Built to withstand moisture, staining, and everyday use, their robust construction makes them particularly well-suited for busy, high-traffic environments.
The expanded dimensions compared to traditional 3x6 subway tiles mean fewer grout lines throughout your installation, resulting in a more polished, uninterrupted look that complements both modern and transitional design schemes.

Design Flexibility That Adapts to Your Vision
The beauty of 5x10 subway tiles lies in their versatility. Install them horizontally for a classic, elongated look that makes spaces feel wider, or stack them vertically to add height and drama to smaller rooms. A herringbone pattern introduces dynamic movement, while a simple brick-lay installation keeps things understated yet elegant.
These tiles excel in kitchen backsplashes, where they bridge the gap between countertops and cabinetry with refined simplicity. In bathrooms, they create spa-like environments when paired with complementary grout colors. Whether you're designing a minimalist kitchen or a vintage-inspired bathroom, these tiles provide the foundation for countless design directions.
