Metro Dark Cement – 45 × 195 mm Brick-Bond Mosaic

Product story
Inspired by the moody greys of freshly poured concrete, Metro Dark Cement captures the raw beauty of urban architecture in a sleek, easy-to-install mosaic format. Each slim 45 × 195 mm strip is kiln-fired from high-density porcelain and finished with a soft matt glaze that mutes glare while showcasing subtle tonal variation. Laid in a classic brick-bond, the 6 mm-thin chips create a deliberately understated surface that pairs effortlessly with timber, black tapware and brushed metals. Whether you’re cladding a kitchen splashback, wrapping a vanity nib wall or defining a walk-in shower, this darker shade anchors the space with modern, metropolitan character.
