Kitchen wall tiles: The options

Tiles for your kitchen walls are now being made from several fine materials. These tiles come in numerous colors, style and designs. Using these tiles you can create a kitchen backsplash for a modern kitchen, a rustic style kitchen or even have your own personal kitchen backsplash.

Stainless steel

You will get stainless steel tiles in 12 inch by 12 inch sizes and also in strips measuring 11 1/2 by 21 /2 inches. By mixing these two tiles you can create an amazing variety of designs that are attractive and give the kitchen a touch of class. You will see such kitchen backsplashes in restaurants and in the kitchens of professional chefs where they match perfectly the stainless steel utensils used there.

Ceramics

Tiles made from ceramic are one of the most versatile tiles available today. This is the style you will find in traditional homes and still remains popular with people of all tastes. The ceramic tiles for kitchen backsplashes and walls are made from tiles of 12 in. by 12in. size that come in colors like white, black, gray, green, yellow and brown. The tiles have a glossy outer surface that can be accentuated by the grouting color

Mosaic stones

This kind of tiles are available generally in whites, browns, grays and blacks and can be seen in many homes. These mosaic stone tiles are seen in two finishes. In one finish the tile has a glossy appearance and a smooth feel. In the other type the edges of the tumbled stone are made semi smooth by tumbling several pieces together. The mosaic style looks like a brick because it has the shape of a brick where the outer surface is rough. Mosaic tiles also come in hexagonal shapes that make lovely patterns on the walls.

Liners

Liners are used for making borders on the kitchen backsplash. The backsplash looks as if it has been given a frame. They are used as strips on the border. The liners commonly used are pencil liners that leave a thick line and the braided rope design that has intricate designs carved on it. They come mainly in brown and gray shades.

Trims

Trims are made of 1” by 1” stones that are stuck to a backing to form 12 inches squares. These trims are great for giving the backsplash a finishing touch or to create a repeating pattern on the wall.
