Cream coloured metro tiles

[luv2bexpat]

Hi everyone

 

A little help please, we are halfway through our house build project in Buriram, but we are currently in Bangkok.  We are looking for cream coloured metro tiles and simply cannot find them anywhere, does anyone have any idea where I can find some for my kitchen? 

 

I am more than happy to travel to view tiles, as these tiles seem to be a rare commodity over here.  ????

 

Kindest regards

Cotto have a similar product but maybe not exactly the same as what one would expect to buy in the UK...

 

 

 

If you visit any of the large Home Hardware stores (Global House, ThaiWatsadu, HomePro, Boonthavorn, etc.), most have large displays of tiles for customers to peruse.

metro tiles are normally 150x75 or 200x100 with a bevel edge - some here 150x75 online  - https://bit.ly/3UXT2Mi

global have some 150*75 in white, may have other colours - https://globalhouse.co.th/product/detail/1903273853631

Hey guys thanks for the input, ????  it does seem that cream is going to be problematic ???? I even looked at importing from China as they seem to do them in vast numbers. 

 

The problem is timing it for the build and the fact that you can't really see the product.  I did have a look at the above suggestions been wandering round all over the place but to no avail. ????  The nearest was an SCG one but that had various shades of cream within the tile, we did look hard at it, but I think that it is more bathroom type and would not work in the kitchen. 

 

I must say that I am surprised by the lack colour for the metro/subway tile here, given the huge colour variations back home that are available, but hey ho we live and learn eh?

 

Thanks for the help all ????

What does that mean?  What is the difference between a bathroom tile and a kitchen tile? And a living room tile?

Physically, no different. Stylistically, some would say very different. Also some would not want the same surface texture on them all.

So if I bought the wrong ones someone tile style focused could enter my kitchen and think they were in a bathroom.   Now we know why some people pee in the kitchen sink.
