And when you go with Fireclay Tile, you can feel good about your purchase–as a certified B Corp, all of our tiles are responsibly manufactured in the USA by employees who are paid fairly and receive robust benefits.

We’re diving into the different blue subway tiles we offer here at Fireclay and providing tons of beautiful eye candy to inspire your next project. Let’s get into it!

Blue Ceramic Subway Tile

You can’t go wrong with classic ceramic subway tile. We offer two ceramic product lines–Original Ceramic and Natural Press Ceramic–and both lines contain a stunning array of blues so you can find the perfect shade for your project. Both Original Ceramic and Natural Press are suitable for backsplash applications.

Original Ceramic is made in our original Aromas, CA factory and offers a broad range of hand-mixed glazes from powder blue to deep navy with gloss and slip-resistant matte finish options available. Original Ceramic Tile is where you can capture the eye-catching color variation Fireclay is known for, as well as artisan characteristics like crackle detailing.

Natural Press, made in our Spokane, WA factory, features a handful of beautiful blue shades in gloss and satin finishes and is a more budget-friendly option with capacity for high-volume orders. Our bestselling Essentials Tile is also part of the Natural Press product line–this collection starts at just $12/SqFt and ships in 5 days or less from our Quick Ship Shop.

Blue Brick Subway Tile

If you want to add a textural feel to your space, our brick subway tile will do the trick. Our American-made Glazed Thin Brick is perfect for backsplashes as it’s substantially lighter than traditional brick (resulting in potentially an 85% cost and emissions reduction!). Explore our shades of blue brick, available in two sizes: Standard 8x2.5 and elongated Norman 11.5x2.5. Plus, when you buy brick you do good–we donate 1% of all Brick sales to the National Parks Conservation Association.

Blue Glass Subway Tile

Design with radiance using our modern Glass Tile. This isn’t the dated glass of yesteryear–our fresh take on this material is beloved by top designers like Sarah Sherman Samuel and Joy Cho, and unlike most glass tile it’s made right here in the USA. It’s also impervious to water, making it an excellent choice for backsplashes. With several stunning shades to choose from in both a glossy and sumptuous matte finish, you’re sure to find the perfect blue for you.
