FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT WALL TILE

  • What is the difference between wall tile and floor tile? 
    Wall tile is generally thinner and lighter than floor tile, designed specifically for vertical surfaces where weight and load-bearing capacity are less of a concern. Most floor tile can also be installed on walls, but wall tile is not recommended for floors because it lacks the density and durability rating needed to handle foot traffic.  
  • What is the best tile for a kitchen backsplash? 
    Ceramic, glass, and porcelain wall tile are well suited for kitchen backsplash installations. Glazed finishes are particularly practical in kitchens because they resist grease and splatter and wipe clean with minimal effort. Subway tile and mosaic tile are among the most common formats for backsplash applications. 
  • What tile is best for shower and bathroom walls? 
    Glazed ceramic and porcelain wall tile are reliable choices for shower and bathroom walls, with moisture resistance and easy cleanup. You may want to utilize larger wall tile formats to reduce the number of grout lines in wet areas, which simplifies maintenance over time. For the shower floor, pairing wall tile with mosaic or textured tile adds slip resistance where it matters most. 
  • Does wall tile need to be sealed? 
    Glazed ceramic and porcelain wall tile do not require sealing. Natural stone wall tile and unglazed tile benefit from periodic sealing to protect against staining and moisture absorption. Grout is generally worth sealing regardless of tile type, particularly in wet areas like showers and bathroom walls where there is ongoing moisture exposure.
  • How do I choose between a glossy and matte wall tile finish? 
    Glossy wall tile reflects light, helps brighten a space, and wipes clean easily, making it a practical choice for kitchens and bathrooms. Matte wall tile offers a softer, more contemporary look and does a better job of concealing smudges and water spots. The best finish depends on the room's lighting conditions and how much day-to-day cleaning the surface will need. 
  • What tile is best for a fireplace surround?

    Heat-resistant porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone wall tile are all suitable for fireplace surrounds, but it is important to select tile rated for the level of heat exposure the surround will experience. Some materials can crack or discolor near direct heat, so it’s important to check the tile's heat rating before choosing your tile. Textured tile, stone look tile, and large-format format tile are popular choices for fireplace surrounds for a bold statement surround.
