Decorative wall tiles in kitchens often include textured or bright colours to create a wow factor above countertops. These wall tiles may feature mosaics, metro brick tiles, or semi-polished surfaces.

3. What are the different types of stone wall tiles?

Natural stone tiles include granite, marble, slate, and travertine options for walls and floors. Stone-effect tiles mimic the natural texture and are visually like natural stone. A major advantage though, is the higher durability with exceptional resistance to water penetration. Textured stone wall tiles are suitable for creating stunning feature walls or accents in bathrooms, kitchens, and hallways. Porcelain wall tiles can also mimic natural stone finishes while offering fewer grout lines and easier installation.

4. Which is best, ceramic wall tiles or porcelain wall tiles?

Ceramic tiles are ideal for interior walls with low moisture exposure, offering bright colours and easy installation. Porcelain wall tiles provide superior durability and are ideally suited to bathrooms, kitchens, and high-traffic hallways. Choosing between ceramic wall tiles and porcelain wall tiles depends on your room, available budget, and the style required for wall tiling projects.

5. Are fake marble wall tiles available? Are they cheaper than real marble?

Yes, marble-effect wall tiles provide the appearance of natural marble without the high cost. They are made from ceramic or porcelain materials. Fake marble tiles are more durable, easier to maintain, and offer excellent water resistance compared with natural stone. These affordable prices allow customers a luxury appearance while saving money and maintaining a stylish interior design.

6. What is the 1/3 rule in wall tiling?

The 1/3 rule in wall tiling ensures tiles are staggered, creating balanced and stunning joints. This means that the end of a tile aligns roughly one-third across the length of the tile below. Using the 1/3 rule reduces tile surface monotony while creating fewer grout lines and a stunning wall finish. Always check tile sizes and use a spirit level to confirm that surfaces are even.
