Philadelphia Commercial Metalsmith 18x36 Weathered-Metal Commercial Luxury Vinyl Tile

Philadelphia Commercial Metalsmith (style #5665V) is an 18" x 36" commercial luxury vinyl tile that recreates the naturally weathered, imperfect texture of worn metal, finished with an ombre tint that deepens its industrial character. Rather than a wood or stone visual, it gives designers an oxidized-metal surface in a large rectangular format that installs by direct glue. Shaw builds it as high performance LVT and tops it with ExoGuard® to keep cleaning simple. Its 11 colors stay in a tight, moody band of bronzes, gunmetal grays and rusted browns, which suits loft-style offices, restaurants and retail interiors.

Best for: Industrial-style offices, restaurants and bars, brewery taprooms, fitness studios, retail showrooms and creative workspaces.

Colors

• Foundry 00110: a warm brushed-bronze gray, the lightest tone in the line.
• Galvanize 00115: mid gray-brown with a zinc-coated, weathered feel.
• Stainless 00425: a dark neutral steel gray with very little warmth.
• Welder 00430: deep charcoal gray, the coolest and darkest option.
• Oxide 00520: smoky taupe-gray with a hint of rust.
• Tinted 00535: dark iron gray softened by a brown undertone.
• Molten 00645: a bronze-brown that suggests cooled copper.
• Fired 00740: dark umber-gray, like heat-darkened steel.
• Foil 00750: warm brown-gray with a burnished feel.
• Inferno 00855: dark rust-brown with a reddish cast.
• Torch 00860: a deep reddish umber that pairs with exposed brick.

Every Metalsmith color is mid-to-dark, so the line is built for character rather than brightness; pair it with lighter walls to keep rooms open, and request samples to see the ombre in person.

Installation Methods

Metalsmith is approved for direct glue installation. Direct glue fully bonds each tile to the prepared subfloor, which is the usual choice for heavy foot traffic, rolling carts and large open areas. The 18x36 format can be laid in a straight grid or offset like a brick bond; a third or half offset suits an industrial look. Subfloor preparation and moisture testing should follow Shaw's guidelines, available with the spec sheet.

Specifier Tips

Metalsmith reads best in large, uninterrupted fields where the ombre variation has room to show. In a restaurant, use Inferno or Torch in the dining room with exposed brick, and the cooler Stainless or Welder behind the bar. Blend tiles from several cartons as you lay them so tonal shifts are spread naturally across the floor.
