Exclusively designed subway tiles that transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary showcases of style and personality
In the ever-evolving world of interior design, few elements have shown the staying power of subway tiles. Once relegated to underground transit stations, these versatile rectangular tiles have become the cornerstone of contemporary North American design. At TIEIC Ceramics, we've not only embraced this classic style but revolutionized it with our commitment to innovation, customization, and unwavering quality standards.
Walk into any stylish North American home or commercial space, and you'll likely find subway tiles adorning kitchens, bathrooms, and accent walls. It's no coincidence that TIEIC Ceramics has positioned itself at the forefront of this design movement.
"We don't just manufacture tiles; we study North American design preferences and lifestyle needs," explains our lead product developer. "Every collection in our subway tile lineup is born from extensive research into what American and Canadian designers and homeowners are actually looking for."
This dedication to market-driven product development has resulted in subway tile collections that speak directly to North American aesthetics—whether it's the natural elegance of our BAMBOO series or the contemporary geometric patterns of CUBE and PICKET designs.
When subway tiles first appeared in New York City's underground stations in 1904, they were simple, white rectangles. TIEIC Ceramics has turned that concept on its head with collections that push boundaries while respecting tradition.
Our subway tile innovation is evident across 18 distinctive collections:
BAMBOO & PLAKA: Nature-inspired textures that bring organic warmth to modern spaces
POLO & STIX: Linear designs that create visual movement and depth
FÉS DE & FOSSIL: Textured finishes that tell a story through touch as much as sight
PICKET & IRIS: Geometric variations that transform basic subway layouts into artistic statements
TOKYO & ROME: Cultural fusion designs that bridge Eastern and Western aesthetics
BOAT & CUBE: Three-dimensional effects that play with light and shadow
RETRO & MIAMI: Vibrant color options that inject personality into neutral spaces
OSLO & CANDY: Contemporary interpretations with Scandinavian influence and playful color options
ICEAGE & BASE: Versatile foundations that complement bold design choices
Each collection showcases our commitment to leading rather than following design trends. As pioneers in digital printing technology within India's ceramic industry, we've introduced mixed glaze applications (combining glossy and matte finishes) and special shapes that transform walls into canvases for personal expression.
While design innovation captures attention, it's our uncompromising quality that maintains it. "Quality is the only constant" isn't just a slogan at TIEIC Ceramics—it's the foundation of our manufacturing philosophy.
Our subway tile collections undergo rigorous quality control at multiple stages:
Production-Stage Quality Checks: Real-time monitoring ensures every tile maintains perfect coloration, dimension, and surface integrity.
Post-Production Inspection: After 48 hours of cooling and settling, random samples undergo comprehensive assessment against our exacting standards.
Digital Print Verification: Our high-definition printing technology (reaching 600 dpi) guarantees design fidelity from concept to final product.
The result? Subway tiles that not only look exceptional upon installation but maintain their beauty for decades—even in high-moisture environments like showers and backsplashes.
Perhaps most revolutionary is our approach to customization. North American designers and importers no longer need to settle for mass-produced options that almost, but don't quite, match their vision.
"You dream it, we make it" isn't marketing hyperbole—it's our operating principle.
A major New York design firm recently approached us with a concept for a commercial project: subway tiles that incorporated their client's brand colors in a subtle gradient. Within weeks, our Pennsylvania showroom had prototypes ready for approval, and the full order was manufacturing to exact specifications shortly after.
From size variations and body compositions to unique color palettes and texture options, our subway tile collections can be tailored to your precise requirements. We can transform any design into mosaic format, match existing tiles for renovation projects, and develop entirely new concepts based on your inspiration.
While other manufacturers might offer subway tiles as part of their catalog, TIEIC Ceramics has made them a centerpiece of our commitment to North American markets.
Our Langhorne, Pennsylvania showroom showcases the full spectrum of our subway tile collections, allowing importers and designers to experience firsthand the quality, variety, and design excellence that sets TIEIC apart. Complete sample sets facilitate quick decision-making, and our local representatives provide personalized service tailored to each client's needs.
As subway tiles continue their reign in North American design, TIEIC Ceramics remains dedicated to pushing boundaries, exceeding expectations, and delivering products that aren't just made for the Americas—they're made to transform American spaces.
Whether you're renovating a single bathroom or sourcing materials for a multi-unit development, our subway tile collections offer the perfect balance of timeless appeal and contemporary innovation.
