Wall Tiles

Are Porcelain Tiles Good for Walls?

Porcelain tiles are an excellent choice for wall applications. They’re durable, low maintenance, and resistant to water, stains, and everyday wear. Perfect for splash zones in kitchens and bathrooms, they’re also well-suited to full wall coverage or feature walls. Their strength and stylish appearance make them a go-to option for homeowners seeking both practicality and polish.

How Do You Fix Porcelain Tiles to a Wall?

Porcelain wall tiles are typically fixed using a strong adhesive suitable for low-porosity surfaces. It’s important to use a high-quality, flexible tile adhesive and the right tools, such as a notched trowel, to ensure a strong bond. Heavier tiles may also require a spacer system and occasional mechanical support during installation. For the best results, we recommend following manufacturer guidance or working with a professional tiler.

What Size Tiles Are Best for Walls?

Both small and large porcelain tiles can work beautifully on walls but it depends on the space and the effect you're looking for. Large format tiles create a seamless, contemporary look with fewer grout lines, ideal for open areas like walk-in showers. Smaller tiles, on the other hand, are great for intricate layouts or adding detail to splashbacks and feature walls. Consider the room size, layout, and design style to help you decide.
