Splashback Tiles
It comes down to your design style and how much upkeep you're up for. Porcelain tiles or ceramic tiles are the most durable, long-lasting options. Subway tiles are a classic choice with a clean, simple aesthetic, while mosaic tiles allow for more intricate designs and work well on curved or irregular surfaces.
Gloss finishes are smooth and easy to clean, and help bounce light around smaller spaces like ensuites and laundries, if that's more your priority than pattern.
Look into booking a design consult with our in-house designers for assistance.
In most cases, you can tile over a glass splashback. It depends on whether the glass is primed and a suitable adhesive is used. It’s always best to check with a professional.
Yes. Porcelain and ceramic splashback tiles are naturally heat and moisture resistant, which is why they're the standard choice directly behind a gas or induction cooktop. Avoid anything with a resin coating or adhesive backing in that zone, since sustained heat can affect the bond.
Small areas may be possible to DIY, but if in doubt, it's always best to call in a professional, especially directly behind a cooktop, where a clean, heat-safe finish matters most.
Splashback tiles can be installed on many wall surfaces if they’re prepped correctly.
When installing them over existing tiles, make sure the existing ones are in good condition and well-adhered to the wall.
Clean and prepare the surface thoroughly before installing the splashback tiles. Remember that adding new tiles may increase wall thickness, so you may need to adjust outlets, switches or trim accordingly. If you're ever in doubt, it's best to seek a professional opinion before going ahead.
