Casablanca

What Is Casablanca Subway Tile?

Casablanca subway tile is a Moroccan-inspired, glossy ceramic 2x6 tile built with an extruded construction, meaning each carton blends three slightly different tile shapes and thicknesses instead of one pressed-flat profile. That gives a finished wall a gently undulating surface you don't get from standard subway tile. The collection pairs the subway with a matte porcelain hexagon in the same six colors, so you can run one shape or combine both in a room.

The six colors split into two moods. Cloud, Pearl Gray, and Champagne read as soft neutrals. Emerald, Ocean Blue, and Saffron read as saturated jewel tones. If you like this saturated, color-forward look, browse the wider contemporary tile range for related colorways and shapes.

Casablanca Subway and Hexagon Tile

Wall tile: The 2x6 subway comes in a glossy glaze that catches light differently across each piece because of the extruded, multi-shape construction. Set it in a classic offset or run it as a vertical stack within the wider subway tile range. It's built for residential and commercial interior walls, so keep it off floors.

Floor and wall tile: The 5.5x6 hexagon is matte porcelain with a rectified edge, meaning the edges are precision-cut after firing so you can run tighter grout lines than a pressed edge allows. It carries a PEI 4 wear rating, so it holds up to everyday foot traffic, and a DCOF above 0.42 gives it reasonable grip underfoot in bathroom and shower floors. It comes in three solid colors (Cloud, Ocean Blue, Pearl Gray) and three floral deco patterns (Champagne, Emerald, and Ocean Blue Flower Deco) that blend into the solid field. Browse the broader hexagon tile range to compare scale and finish.

Casablanca Subway Tile by Room

Bathroom: Run the matte hexagon across a bathroom floor in a solid color, then scatter a few Flower Deco pieces through the field instead of covering the whole floor in pattern. It reads as collected rather than busy.

Kitchen backsplash: The glossy subway makes a clean backsplash in a kitchen. Saffron or Emerald turns the backsplash into the focal point against plain cabinetry, while Cloud or Champagne keeps it quiet.

Entryway: The rectified hexagon's tight grout lines hold up well in high-traffic entry floors, and a solid-plus-deco mix gives an entry floor pattern without a full encaustic look.

How to Choose Casablanca Subway Tile

Match the format to the surface. The 2x6 subway is built for walls. The hexagon is the format rated for floors as well as walls.

Expect shape variation in the subway. Because each carton blends three extruded shapes, dry-lay a few boxes before setting so the variation spreads evenly across the wall instead of clustering.

Decide how much deco pattern you want before you order. The Flower Deco hexagons are meant to be mixed into a solid field, not used as the whole floor. Order more solid pieces than deco pieces if you want the pattern to stay subtle.

Pick your grout by how much pattern you want to show. White grout on the rectified hexagon keeps the layout feeling seamless. A contrasting grout makes the hexagon shape itself the visual feature.

Order a sample before committing to a saturated color. Emerald, Ocean Blue, and Saffron shift noticeably between warm bulbs and daylight.
