The Mosaic MOSMETDCEM Metro Dark Cement Matt is a contemporary decorative mosaic featuring a dark cement-inspired appearance with a matt finish. Its modern concrete-style design makes it a strong choice for bathrooms, kitchens, feature walls and other compatible tiled areas where a darker, sophisticated finish is desired.
The neutral dark cement appearance can be coordinated with lighter tiles, timber-look finishes, white sanitaryware, black fittings and other contemporary materials to create a stylish tiled space.
Mosaic MOSMETDCEM Metro Dark Cement Matt

Create a Contemporary Feature
The darker colour of Metro Dark Cement makes this mosaic particularly effective for creating contrast.
Use it as a vertical feature behind a bathroom vanity, inside a shower niche or as a decorative strip between larger tiles. It can also be paired with the lighter Metro Light Cement design to create a coordinated light-and-dark cement-inspired scheme.
For a stronger contemporary appearance, consider pairing the mosaic with black bathroom accessories or fittings. For a softer look, combine it with natural timber tones and lighter neutral tiles.
Installation
Correct installation is important for achieving an even and professional mosaic finish.
Before installation:
- Ensure the substrate is clean and correctly prepared.
- Confirm the surface is suitable for tiling.
- Dry-lay mosaic sheets where appropriate.
- Use an adhesive compatible with the mosaic material.
- Maintain consistent spacing between sheets.
- Select grout suitable for the application.
- Follow adhesive and grout manufacturer instructions.
Pay particular attention to spacing between sheets so that individual sheet boundaries are not obvious after grouting.
Grout Selection
Grout colour can significantly influence the finished appearance of a mosaic.
A grout colour similar to Metro Dark Cement can create a more continuous, unified appearance. A lighter contrasting grout can make the individual mosaic pieces and pattern more prominent.
Always check the grout manufacturer’s compatibility and test the selected combination where necessary before completing the entire installation.
Quantity and Coverage
Measure the total tiled area before purchasing.
Because the exact sheet dimensions and coverage are not provided in the product name, confirm the coverage per mosaic sheet or box before calculating quantities.
Allow additional material for:
- Cutting
- Installation waste
- Pattern alignment
- Corners and edges
- Future repairs
Where possible, purchase the required quantity together to help minimise potential variation between production batches.
Colour and Finish Variation
Actual colour can vary slightly between batches and may appear different depending on lighting, surrounding finishes and grout selection.
Inspect the mosaics before installation and arrange sheets where necessary to achieve a consistent overall appearance.
Care and Maintenance
Clean the mosaic using products suitable for its specific material and grout.
Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners unless approved for the surface. In bathrooms, kitchens and showers, regular cleaning can help prevent soap residue, grease and dirt from accumulating along grout lines.
