Backsplash Tiles

A backsplash is a wall covering installed behind kitchen sinks and shower walls to protect against spills and make cleaning easier. A well-chosen backsplash tile not only helps guard the wall from damage but also improves the overall look of a space. Homeowners and designers have many choices when selecting a backsplash.

Many opt for porcelain and ceramic tiles. The classic subway tile design, with its rectangular shape and consistent layout, is popular in kitchens and bathrooms because of its neat look and ease of cleaning. For a modern twist, glass backsplash tiles offer a smooth surface and a reflective quality that can brighten a room. Natural stone options like marble and granite provide a solid, traditional look, while mosaic designs arranged in hexagon, linear, or penny round patterns bring a touch of interest to any wall.

Another attractive option is a zellige tile backsplash. These handcrafted tiles, with their slight variations in color and shape, add a unique character to a room. Some also choose modern metal tiles, which offer a distinct look for those seeking something different.

The installation process is straightforward and works well for DIY projects. Begin by thoroughly cleaning and drying the wall to ensure proper adhesion. Measure the area carefully and plan your layout to minimize cuts and gaps. Many homeowners opt for peel and stick backsplash tiles for a quick solution. Finishes such as honed, polished, and matte are available, and popular sizes include 3x6, 3x9, and customers' favorite 3x12 subway tiles, along with options like basketweave, scallop, hexagon, and penny round mosaic tiles.
