Muralla Brick 280x75mm Collection

The 280x75mm format is notably longer than a typical metro tile (usually 200x100mm), giving walls a more elongated, contemporary feel. The slimmer profile and greater length create a striking horizontal rhythm when laid in a stretcher bond, making it a popular choice for anyone who wants a modern update on the classic brick tile look.

The Muralla Brick tiles look particularly impressive in a traditional stretcher bond (offset) pattern, where each row is staggered by half a tile length. A straight stack bond is also an option if you prefer a more structured, grid-like appearance. Given the elongated format, a horizontal lay tends to work best for making rooms feel wider and more spacious.

Yes – the brick format and wall tile construction make the Muralla collection a great choice for kitchen splashbacks. The elongated shape helps to fill a splashback area efficiently with fewer grout lines than smaller tiles, and the format works well behind a hob or across the full width between worktop and wall units.

Measure your wall area in square metres and use the tile dimensions to calculate coverage, remembering to account for your chosen grout joint width in the spacing. Always add a minimum of 10% to your total for cuts and wastage – this is especially important with a longer format tile where angled cuts at edges and corners can result in more offcuts than with smaller tiles.

A grout joint of 2-3mm is generally recommended for the Muralla Brick tiles to maintain clean, sharp lines that complement the elongated format. A light-coloured grout will create a subtle, seamless look, while a contrasting darker grout will emphasise the brick pattern and add more visual definition to the layout.
