1) First you need to refer their assembly in your project. 2) You need to include the xaml namespace in the root(Window, ResourceDictionary or wherever you want to write template)

like ,

xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:MahApps.Metro.Controls;assembly=MahApps.Metro"

then use the type in your Template

<ControlTemplate TargetType={x:Type controls:TileControl}>
   <!--your template-->
</ControlTemplate >
