The kitchen is where the whole house ends up: morning coffee, Sunday dinners, homework at the counter. The tile you choose sets the tone for all of it. At AquaBlu, we curate our kitchen tile with that in mind - glass, porcelain, stone, and ceramic chosen to bring the polish of a boutique hotel kitchen into the space you actually live in every day.
From backsplash to floor to a full outdoor kitchen build, our tile is organized by color and material so you can shop the way you design. Cool blues and greens bring a coastal, fresh energy. Warm neutrals and beige feel timeless and easy to live with. Pattern and zellige-look tile turn a backsplash into the room's best feature.
Below, find answers to the questions we hear most from customers planning their kitchen project.
Ceramic, porcelain, and glass all earn their keep in a kitchen. Ceramic is budget-friendly and easy to work with, porcelain shrugs off grease and stains without much fuss, and glass brings a shine that makes the whole wall feel more polished. There's no wrong answer here, it comes down to the mood you're going for.
Start with the feeling you want the kitchen to have, then work in durability, upkeep, and budget from there. Glass tile is a favorite for a reason: it catches light and adds a sense of depth that flat tile just can't match. Check out our buying guide to help make a decision!
A mild detergent or tile cleaner and a soft brush or sponge handles most kitchen messes just fine. Skip anything abrasive, scratched tile or grout is one of the fastest ways to age a backsplash before its time.
Depends on the look. Subway tile gives you that classic, timeless feel, while larger format tile reads more modern and minimal. Neither is more correct, it's a style call.
Absolutely, mosaic is one of the most versatile ways to bring pattern and texture into a kitchen. It handles intricate designs beautifully and holds up just as well as larger format tile over time.
Prep the surface, apply the right adhesive for your tile material, lay your pattern, then grout once everything's set. Getting the technique right at each step is what separates a backsplash that looks professionally done from one that doesn't.
You can, and it's a fine option for a quick DIY refresh. But if you've got a little extra time and effort to spend, glass or porcelain will give you a finish that looks more luxurious and lasts a lot longer.
Herringbone subway layouts never go out of style, mosaic accents add instant personality, and a patterned or textured tile can turn a plain wall into the room's best feature. Glass tile is also a go-to when you want extra depth and shimmer.
Measure the length and height of the area you're tiling and multiply for square footage, accounting for any outlets or cabinets in the way. Add 10% on top to cover cuts and waste, so you're not scrambling mid-project for more tile.
