Price depends on size, surface and order quantity. Metro supplies through dealers and directly to project buyers, so a rate is quoted against your area and format rather than listed. For renovation work it is worth comparing cost per box as well as per square metre, because box coverage changes with the format. Every design in the catalogue lists its size and surface.

Wood look tiles
What wood look tiles are, and where they work
Wood look tiles are glazed ceramic tiles printed and textured to carry the grain, knots and tonal variation of sawn timber. They are laid with adhesive and grout like any other ceramic tile, and once down they behave like ceramic. No sealing, no polishing, no swelling in humidity and no termite risk, which matters in a climate that runs humid all year.
Sizes and formats
Metro produces four plank formats. The 150x900mm is the narrowest and reads closest to a traditional timber board, with 70 designs available. The 200x1000mm and 200x1200mm suit larger rooms where fewer grout lines give a calmer floor. The 200x1400mm is the longest board and is usually specified for open plan living areas and showrooms. Chevron and diamante are supplied as separate pattern collections.
Surfaces
Three surfaces are available. Satin Plain has a smooth low sheen face. Matt Texture carries a grain relief you can feel underfoot and is the usual choice for bathrooms, balconies and staircases because of its grip. Satin Texture sits between the two, with light relief and a soft sheen.
Colours
Ten tones run from Natural Clear Stain and White at the palest end, through Golden Honey, Nutmeg, Warm Chestnut and Cinnamon in the mid range, to Tuscan Coffee, Merlot, Grey and Dark Grey at the darker end. Paler tones make small rooms read larger. Darker and grey tones hide dust in high traffic areas.
Where these tiles are used
Indoors these tiles are laid in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms. The Matt Texture surface is rated for bathroom floors and wet areas. On staircases the 150x900mm plank cuts cleanly to tread depth, and the same tile is used for riser faces. Outdoors they are specified for covered outdoor areas such as balconies, patios and covered terraces, and on facade walls where a timber look is wanted without the maintenance of real timber.
