Cast

The Cast tile has a distinctive, non-standard shape that sets it apart from typical rectangular tiles, giving it an architectural quality that adds personality and visual interest to a wall. This unique form means that when installed, the overall surface has a more dynamic and textured appearance than you would get with a conventional brick or square tile. It is a subtle way to make a statement without resorting to bold colours or patterns.

Yes, the 100 x 300mm format is a versatile size that works well in both compact spaces such as cloakrooms and en-suites, and in larger rooms like main bathrooms and kitchens. The elongated rectangular proportion can also help to visually heighten a wall when laid vertically, or widen a space when laid horizontally. Its small format also makes cutting around fixtures and fittings more manageable.

The Cast tile is designed to be a versatile wall tile suitable for both kitchens and bathrooms, and its distinctive shape makes it a standout feature in either setting. In a kitchen it works particularly well as a splashback or full-height wall tile behind open shelving, whilst in a bathroom its character suits both feature walls and full room installations. Its functional and stylish design means it can anchor a room’s look regardless of the application.

Because of the Cast tile’s distinctive form, it is especially worth spending time planning your layout on paper or using a tile visualiser before installation begins. Consider how the tile’s shape interacts at the joins and corners, and think about whether you want the pattern to run in one consistent direction or alternate for a more complex effect. We strongly recommend dry-laying a section of tiles on the floor first to check the final appearance before fixing anything to the wall.

To calculate how many tiles you need, measure the total wall area in square metres and divide by the coverage per tile, which your retailer can confirm. For a tile with a unique shape like the Cast, we recommend adding a 10-15% wastage allowance on top of your calculated quantity to account for cuts, breakages, and any future repairs. It is always better to order slightly more than you think you need, as tiles can be discontinued or the batch colour can vary between orders.
