Metal Tiles

Metal Tiles with Luminous Depth

Our Metal Tiles collection explores the rich alchemy of metals, reimagined for contemporary interiors. Using brass and alpacca, also known as German silver, these surfaces bring a luminous depth and texture that transform walls, floors and architectural details.

Inspired by the patina of time and the character of historic industrial materials, the collection balances raw authenticity with refined craftsmanship.

 

Brass, Alpacca and Hand-Patinated Finishes

Each tile is bonded to a marine ply base, ensuring durability and ease of installation. Finishes range from polished to hand-patinated, with surfaces that can be beaten, brushed or distressed to create subtle variation and character.

Whether used as single accents or in dramatic layouts such as herringbone, brick bond or Parquet de Versailles, metal tiles introduce a level of sophistication that is both unexpected and striking.

 

Brass Metal Tiles with Architectural Warmth

Brass brings warmth, radiance and a golden architectural tone that can feel historic and contemporary at once. It lends itself beautifully to feature walls, floors, larger wall panels and intricate patterned installations, especially where a room needs depth, glow and quiet drama.

Alpacca and German Silver Surfaces

Alpacca, also known as German silver, offers a cooler and more restrained metallic character. Historically associated with paktong, a silver-like alloy of copper, nickel and zinc, it brings a subtle silvery sheen that works well with both classical and modern interiors.

For other materials with strong surface character, see English Flint and Mosaics Smalti Glass.

 

Decorative Metal Surfaces for Interior Projects

For architects, interior designers and private clients, these decorative metal surfaces offer considerable design flexibility. Customized sizes and finishes can be commissioned to suit individual projects, allowing the material to respond to the scale, geometry and atmosphere of a particular space.

Used in kitchens, bathrooms, bars, fireplace surrounds, panels, joinery details or commercial interiors, Paris Ceramics’ metal tiles bring reflection, craft and architectural rhythm into the fabric of a room.

They are decorative without becoming excessive, distinctive without overwhelming the surrounding materials, and particularly effective in interiors where light, texture and depth are central to the brief.
