When choosing the best materials for a kitchen backsplash, glass, ceramic, and porcelain tiles remain popular choices due to their durability, low maintenance, and design flexibility. Glass tiles offer a clean, modern look while reflecting light beautifully - ideal for brightening up kitchen spaces. They're also non-porous, making them highly resistant to stains and moisture. Ceramic and porcelain tiles bring added strength and offer a wide variety of colors, textures, and finishes that suit everything from classic kitchens to contemporary interiors.
Yes, most backsplash tiles - including glass, ceramic, and porcelain - are heat resistant and safe to install behind stoves and cooktops. These materials can handle the everyday heat generated in kitchen settings. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure the tile is rated for high-heat applications. For industry standards and safety guidelines, consult the TCNA website.
A typical kitchen backsplash starts around 4 inches above the countertop. For a more refined and cohesive design, many homeowners now opt for full-height backsplashes that extend to the bottom of upper cabinets - or even all the way to the ceiling. This offers a clean, uninterrupted look and can visually expand the kitchen space. Your backsplash height can be tailored to match your style and design goals.
Yes, you can install backsplash tile directly over existing tile, provided the original surface is sound. The surface should be clean, flat, and securely attached to the wall. Any loose or damaged tiles need to be removed, and lightly sanding or roughening the surface will help the new tiles adhere better. While this approach can save labor and time, it’s recommended to have a professional assess the condition of the current tile to guarantee a durable and high-quality result.
Black backsplash tiles made of glass, porcelain, or glazed ceramic are designed to be low-maintenance and easy to clean. Their smooth, non-porous surfaces resist grease and stains, making them perfect for high-use areas like kitchens. Simply use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water for regular upkeep. Avoid harsh abrasives, and consider sealing grout lines for added protection and easier long-term care.
Grout color depends on the visual impact you're aiming for. Black grout offers a warm, bold tone that pairs beautifully with or natural tile palettes for a seamless, understated effect. Contrasting grout, on the other hand, highlights the tile shape and layout. For a kitchen, choose a grout that’s stain-resistant or epoxy-based to handle spills and daily cleaning. Explore our range of premium epoxy grouts to find the best match for your project.
Definitely. Backsplash tiles are ideal for moisture-prone areas like behind kitchen sinks. Their water-resistant surface protects the wall from splashes and makes cleaning simple. While tiles themselves resist water, grout lines can be porous - so sealing them after installation is essential. A quality grout sealer adds long-term protection against water stains, mildew, and damage.
Selecting the right tile size and shape depends on your kitchen’s size and the overall design you want to achieve. In smaller kitchens, mosaic or subway tiles can add texture without overwhelming the space. Larger kitchens or open layouts often benefit from oversized or rectangular tiles for a more spacious look. Beige tones are especially versatile and work well across all sizes and shapes, offering a natural, cohesive aesthetic that complements many design styles.
