LARGE FORMAT TILE BACKSPLASH FOR DRAMATIC KITCHENS

Trends for decorating our homes may come and go but tiling has never fallen out of favor, and with good reason. Practical on so many levels, tiling protects walls and workspaces from moisture, grease, heat, and dirt, and has long been a stalwart of kitchens and bathrooms, and myriad other interior uses. But tiling has come increasingly into its own during our long-lasting love affair with home improvements, thanks to all the design possibilities they open up. Tiles have allowed us to be creative in our most utility driven spaces, turning bathrooms into tranquil havens and kitchens into lifestyle experiences.

Spaces we spend much of our time in, and spaces we unwind in, have become central areas we want to dress. With dozens of textures and hundreds of shades there are thousands of designs just one click away, waiting to express our style and our personalities. The humble backsplash has been at the center of it all.

As with all fashion, designs evolve, and large format tile backsplashes have become incredibly popular for kitchens and bathrooms, thanks to their ability to provide wide-range and almost seamless coverage. Homeowners can choose from ceramic or porcelain in every conceivable pattern and shade, as well as wide ranges of stone and marble. All of these come in multiple finishes, so choosing between polished, honed, matte, satin or textured gives even more scope to achieve the look of your dreams.

LARGE FORMAT TILE KITCHEN BACKSPLASH – THE HEART OF THE HOME

As one of the busiest rooms in the home, the kitchen deserves more than just a little love. It’s the place we cook, eat, work and play; a demanding, multifunctional space where, at least it seems, all of life happens.

If you are looking to remodel your home a large format tile kitchen backsplash is immensely practical and on-trend. Adding to the more intricate tiling looks of standard tiles, subways and mosaics, large format tiles offer an attractive, sweeping span of beautiful tile. Choose from ultra-reliable porcelain and ceramic large format tiles for a backsplash that won’t absorb liquids or grease.

A quick wipe with a soapy cloth is all that is needed to keep your backsplash pristine. One of the biggest practical benefits of large format backsplash tiling is the reduced number or joints, which means fewer grout lines to take care of and keep stain-free. Aesthetically, the absence of grout lines creates an impression of continuity and movement and can have a lengthening effect.

Natural stone is also a popular choice for large format kitchen backsplash tile. Explore what we have to offer in limestone, marble, travertine, and granite. Where walls are unable to support the weight of real stone, don’t be discouraged as we have an exceptional selection of porcelain and ceramic stone-look tiles that will make even the most experience home expert do a double take.

LARGE FORMAT BACKSPLASH TILE FOR BATHROOMS

Bathrooms and shower spaces can be as chic and simple or as designer as you like with our immense range of large format backsplash tile for bathrooms. The sleek lines of large format tiles create an unpunctuated flow of tile that is undemanding on the eye, easy to maintain and carries more than just a dash of opulence.

Large format backsplash tile for bathrooms can be used to tile a shower booth or full wall, adding style and contrast to fitted sanitary ware. Create a rounded look by accenting with coordinating accessories and pay attention to fittings that can go far to enhance a theme.

As with kitchens, ceramic and porcelain tile is a popular choice for bathrooms. Thanks to their non-porosity they discourage the growth of mold and mildew that so commonly plagues wet places. However, this does not rule out our delightful range of natural stone. Limestone, marble, basalt, and slate, among others, can all be used as a bathroom backsplash.

Where caution might be advised in choosing polished versions of tiles for flooring in wet spaces, there are no such issues for bathroom walls. In fact, a glossy, polished marble large format backsplash tile can fill your space with a feeling of luxury that is hard to resist.

WHAT IS A LARGE FORMAT TILE BACKSPLASH?

A large format tile backsplash is a protective covering around baths, showers, sinks, and kitchen countertops made from large tiles. The purpose is to protect walls from damage, either structurally by water, humidity, and heat, or aesthetically by grease and dirt.

HOW DO YOU INSTALL A LARGE FORMAT TILE KITCHEN BACKSPLASH?

Generally speaking, a kitchen backsplash is either a stove backsplash immediately behind the cooking area, or it is a full wall installation running the full length of the cabinetry, from countertop to directly below the upper cabinets. Installing a large format tile kitchen backsplash is much like installing any tile.

Make sure your surface is level and clean before spreading adhesive mortar to the area the first tile will cover. Back butter the tile and lift into position. Press firmly to make sure the tile has a good bond with the wall. Insert spacers before repeating the process with the next tile.

When the tile has set, apply grout deep into the joints and leave to dry for fifteen minutes before wiping the excess away with a damp cloth. Leave to dry fully for at least 24 hours before use.

HOW DO YOU CLEAN A LARGE FORMAT BACKSPLASH TILE?

There are a host of tile cleaners available, but most tiles need only some soapy water and a soft cloth. Some people like to add vinegar to this solution, before buffing with a soft cloth for a grease-fee, streak-free shine.
