Field tiles are the main components in most tile installations, covering the majority of a floor or wall surface. They set the visual tone, influence how a room feels, and play a big role in how your design holds up over time. Bedrosians offers a wide range of field tiles in porcelain, ceramic, glass, marble, and zellige, giving homeowners and designers plenty of options for both residential and commercial spaces.
What is a Field Tile?
A field tile is the standard tile used for the main coverage area in a layout. While mosaics and trims serve as decorative or finishing details, field tiles form the base layer — the surface you see and use every day.
- Mosaics: Smaller tiles that add pattern or accent details.
- Trims: Pieces that finish edges or transitions cleanly.
- Field Tiles: Larger tiles that create the primary surface.
Choosing the right field tile impacts both the style and day-to-day upkeep of a space. It’s the part of the design you’ll live with the most.
Materials from Bedrosians
Porcelain
Dense and water-resistant, porcelain works well in high-traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways. It’s built to handle daily wear while keeping its look for years.
Ceramic
Available in a variety of colors and finishes, ceramic is a practical choice for walls, light-use floors, and spaces where you want design flexibility without high maintenance.
Glass
Glass tiles reflect light beautifully, adding brightness to backsplashes, shower walls, and decorative features.
Marble
Every piece of marble is unique, with natural veining that gives floors and walls a one-of-a-kind look. Often used in bathrooms, entryways, and focal points.
Zellige
Handcrafted with variations in tone and texture, zellige tiles bring an artisanal feel to backsplashes, shower surrounds, and feature walls.
Available Sizes and Formats
Bedrosians offers field tiles in a range of sizes to suit different design goals:
- 24x24: Reduces grout lines for a smoother, more open feel.
- 48x48: Creates a bold, seamless look in larger spaces.
- 8-inch: Fits well for patterned layouts or smaller rooms.
- 4x4: Common in zellige and ceramic, great for backsplashes and accents.
Applications
Kitchens
From durable porcelain floors to decorative zellige backsplashes, kitchens benefit from the mix of practicality and style field tiles offer.
Bathrooms
Moisture-friendly porcelain and marble are go-to choices for floors and shower walls, while smaller 4x4 tiles work well in wet areas or as accents.
Living Areas
Larger formats such as 24x24 and 48x48 help create a continuous, open look in living rooms, dining spaces, and hallways.
Commercial Spaces
High-density porcelain is a smart choice for busy lobbies, restaurants, and retail spaces where durability matters as much as design.
Coordinated Designs
Many Bedrosians field tiles are made to match their mosaics, trims, and specialty shapes. This makes it easier to carry the same tone, texture, and finish across an entire project for a cohesive, professional result.
