{"title":"Eton Brick Look Porcelain Tiles","description":"\u003cp\u003eEton brick look porcelain tiles recreate the texture and proportion of real brick in a durable porcelain format, suited to feature walls, floors and splashbacks. The range is available in a small brick-format size with a choice of colour and finish options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFormat and size\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEton tiles are sized and shaped to mimic a traditional brick, longer than they are wide, which is what gives the range its brick-look character rather than reading as a standard rectangular tile. This narrow format changes the laying pattern options too, since a brick-format tile suits a running bond or herringbone layout far better than a square or standard subway proportion would. If you're used to laying larger format tiles, budget extra time for a brick-format install, since the smaller units and tighter joint lines mean more individual pieces and more grout lines per square metre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eColour options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Eton range comes in a selection of colours that echo traditional and contemporary brick tones, from warmer reds and terracottas through to greyer, more neutral options. Choosing a colour depends heavily on where it's going. A warmer red or terracotta Eton tile on a feature wall reads as a deliberate nod to exposed brick, while a grey or neutral tone gives the same textured brick format without pulling attention as a colour statement, which suits a splashback or a floor where you want texture but not a strong colour feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMatte or gloss finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish choice changes how the brick texture reads under light. A matte finish keeps the surface low-sheen and closer to how real brick looks and feels, and it's generally the safer choice for floors since it offers better slip resistance than a gloss surface. A gloss finish brightens the tile and reflects more light, which can suit a smaller, darker splashback or feature wall where you want the brick pattern to still read but with more shine. For floor applications specifically, check the slip rating before choosing gloss, since bathroom and wet area floors usually call for a more slip-resistant matte or textured surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere to use Eton tiles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeature walls are the most common application, whether that's a living room accent wall, a bedhead wall or a commercial fit-out wanting an exposed brick look without structural brickwork. Floors work well in entryways, hallways or living spaces where you want texture underfoot, provided the finish and slip rating suit the location. Splashbacks behind a stove or sink are another strong use case, since porcelain's low porosity and easy-clean surface handle kitchen splashes and grease far better than real brick or a porous natural material would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePorcelain bricks, not painted brick veneer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's worth being clear that Eton tiles are porcelain, not an actual fired clay brick or a lightweight brick veneer product. That distinction matters for weight, installation method and long-term maintenance. Porcelain bricks are lighter and easier to lay than real brick veneer, don't need sealing the way natural brick or stone would, and won't absorb moisture or stain the way a porous material can. If you're specifically searching for a genuine porcelain brick product rather than a veneer or cladding alternative, Eton fits that description directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation and grout\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard porcelain tile adhesive and a grout colour close to the tile tone (rather than a high-contrast grout line) will keep the brick illusion convincing. A contrasting grout can work if you want the individual brick shapes to stand out more deliberately, similar to how real brickwork is often pointed. Either approach is valid depending on the look you're after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEton porcelain tiles ship Australia-wide, with a 60-day return window on unopened stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc_wrap\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"accordion\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat size and shape are Eton brick look porcelain tiles?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003eEton tiles use a narrow, elongated brick-format size, longer than wide, which is what gives them their brick-look proportion.
