Subway Tile Manufacturer
Rectangular wall tiles come in glossy, matte and beveled finishes. You'll find them used in kitchens, bathrooms and pools.
Subway Tiles from a Foshan Manufacturer
Winway is a subway tile manufacturer based in Foshan, China. Importers, wholesalers and project buyers come to us for rectangular wall tiles. The format takes its name from the glazed ceramic used in early New York City subway stations, where a bright, easy-clean surface was needed. Since subway tile collections commonly include ceramic, porcelain, glass, recycled glass and natural stone options, the same shape can suit very different budgets and rooms.
Our ceramic tile factory in Foshan runs the full range of wall tile bodies, from standard ceramic up to porcelain. Glaze choice decides the look. Glossy reflects light and makes small bathrooms feel larger, while matte hides water marks, and crackled or handmade-look glazes add texture. Beveled edges catch light along each tile. That gives an all-white wall more depth than a flat surface does.
Buyers usually come to us for kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls and shower walls. The same tiles work on swimming pools, fireplace surrounds and exterior walls. We quote within 24 hours and can send free samples so you can check colour and finish before committing to a container. You pay the international shipping on samples.

Why Buyers Work With Winway
A tile factory in Foshan with export packing, sample support and consolidated loading.
Own Ceramic Tile Factory
Winway has its own ceramic tile factory in Foshan, alongside sanitary ware and door and window factories. That means wall tile production, quality checks and loading are handled by one team rather than passed between suppliers.
Glaze and Format Options
Pick glossy, matte, crackled or beveled surfaces, then lay them in a classic offset, vertical stack or herringbone pattern. For OEM orders, size, texture and colour glaze can all be customized.
Export Packing
Tiles ship in reinforced export cartons with foam padding and corner guards. Full container orders are palletized for stability during ocean freight, and our logistics team photographs the loading.
Consolidated Loading
Tiles, bathroom fixtures, doors, flooring, kitchen cabinets and hardware can be consolidated into a single FCL shipment from our Foshan warehouse. That makes paperwork and container planning simpler.
Layouts, Patterns and Rooms
The classic running bond, where each tile is offset by half its length, remains the most common layout for subway tiles. A one-third or one-fourth offset gives a subtler stagger, while a vertical stack, with tiles placed directly above one another, reads more modern and makes low ceilings look taller. Herringbone and penny round tile are different formats altogether, but they are often specified in the same bathroom to break up a large wall. Grout colour changes the result as much as the tile: white grout blends, dark grout outlines every joint. Alternative subway tile patterns include a one-third offset and a one-fourth offset (published reference).
In a subway-tiled bathroom, you'll usually see a tiled shower wall and a tiled splashback behind the basin. The same tile can carry across the floor if the body suits it. Hotel and apartment projects often pick grey subway tile or black and white hexagon tile, because they stay neutral across refurbishment cycles. Kitchen backsplashes take the same tiles. A brighter gloss helps cooking splashes wipe off easily.

Questions buyers ask
Can I order vertical subway tile and other layouts from Winway?
Yes. Layout is a site decision rather than a factory one, so the same tile can be installed in a running bond, a one-third offset or a vertical stack. Tell us the pattern when you enquire and we will quote the quantity you need, including a cutting allowance for edges and corners.
Do you supply gray subway tile and black and white hexagon tile?
Grey glazes and black and white combinations are part of our wall tile range, and hexagon formats can be produced alongside rectangular tiles. Because colour matching matters on repeat orders, we recommend approving a physical sample before production. Samples are free and you pay the international shipping.
What is the difference between herringbone subway tile and penny round tile?
Herringbone sets rectangular tiles at right angles to each other. Penny round tile uses small circles in a sheet-mounted mosaic. Both are decorative formats rather than the standard rectangular subway shape, and they often show up as accents on a shower wall, a splashback or a bathroom floor.
How do you protect subway tiles during shipping?
Tiles are packed in reinforced export cartons with foam padding and corner guards, and full container orders are palletized. Every order goes through documented quality control before shipping, and the logistics team counts the goods again during loading and takes photos and videos.
