Shower and Backsplash Tile

If you’re looking to decorate your walls, go with something more durable than wallpaper like wall tile. Wall tile, or backsplash tile, is a great way to break up a long boring wall with something stylish and eye catching. It also protects your walls from grease splatters behind the stove top. Wall tile is incredibly easy to clean and very easy to design, meaning you can choose a totally custom look for your space.

Ceramic, Porcelain, and Stone Tile

The three different types of tile are ceramic tile, porcelain tile, and stone tile.

	Ceramic Tile Ceramic tile is made from natural materials including sand and clay. Ceramic tile is perfect for both kitchens and bathrooms, is light weight, comes in several different colors, and is eco-friendly. When covered with the right glaze, ceramic can be incredibly resistant to scratching, making it a great choice if you have pets in your home or for use in high traffic areas.   SHOP CERAMIC
Porcelain Tile Porcelain is denser and resistant to heat and moisture than ceramic tile. Since porcelain tile is more water resistant, you can install it in places like your laundry room and even outside as a patio without worrying about moisture being absorbed and causing cracks. For the best spill protection, choose a dark color, which will hide problem areas between cleanings.
	Stone Tile Natural stone is available in a variety of beautiful colors and textures. They are a great alternative for kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways. You’ll also find that no two tiles look the same, giving you the opportunity to give a unique touch to your space. Natural stone tiles are heavy and durable, so you can have the installed inside and outside of your home.   SHOP STONE
