FAQ

What is the best material for a kitchen backsplash?

When selecting a backsplash, glass, ceramic, and porcelain tiles remain leading choices thanks to their durability, low maintenance, and design flexibility. Glass tiles create a sleek, light-reflecting surface that brightens any kitchen while resisting stains and moisture. Ceramic and porcelain tiles offer exceptional strength and come in a broad range of colors, textures, and finishes suitable for styles from classic to contemporary.

Are kitchen backsplash tiles heat resistant?

Yes. Most backsplash materials- including glass, ceramic, and porcelain, are heat resistant and appropriate for installation behind stovetops. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s recommendations to confirm performance in high-heat areas. For more details, visit the TCNA website.

Are backsplash tiles easy to clean?

Absolutely. Glass, porcelain, and glazed ceramic tiles require minimal upkeep and can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers to protect both tile and grout. For tougher stains, opt for a pH-balanced cleaner formulated specifically for tile.

What is the best grout color for a kitchen backsplash?

A matching grout shade creates a seamless look, while a contrasting color emphasizes patterns and mosaics. For kitchen installations, stain-resistant or epoxy grout provides added durability and easier long-term maintenance. Explore our epoxy grouts to find the perfect pairing.

How do I choose the right tile size and shape?

Consider your kitchen’s layout and overall design. Smaller formats such as mosaics or subway tiles work well in compact areas, while large-format tiles can create a more open, expansive feel. Aim for a balance of scale and style to achieve a backsplash that is both functional and visually appealing.
