Tile is an excellent addition to your shower walls, backsplashes, or even standing alone as a statement wall. Wall tile adds depth, character, and dimension to your space, not to mention protecting the surface.

Wall tile is virtually worry-free, especially when compared to other options like paint and wallpaper. Let us help you find the perfect tile for all the walls in your space.

Pro Tip: Prepare your surface properly before placing wall tile. This ensures success and avoids future problems, such as moisture behind your tile or cracking due to an uneven surface.

Wall tile is available in porcelain, ceramic, glass, stone, and more. As a vertical surface, foot traffic and slip resistance are not concerns, which means you can choose from almost any material, size, shape, or texture. So “the best” wall tile is subjective.

Many argue ceramic is the best wall tile. It is water, stain, heat, and scratch resistant and can easily withstand the demands of the kitchen backsplash, bathroom backsplash, or shower. Ceramic tile is the most cost efficient, is easy to cut, and comes in a plethora of eye-popping colors and textures.

Waterproof and extremely durable, porcelain is also an excellent choice – especially for walls that require extra protection, such as high traffic areas or outdoor applications.

Luxurious natural stone is the best choice for return on investment as stone offers the largest increase in resale value.

The kitchen and bathroom backsplash is as much a statement of style as it is a protection for the wall.

Ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone wall tiles offer an endless variety of beautiful mosaic backsplash options.

Natural stone, quartz, and extra-large format porcelain provide slab options for a contemporary seamless backsplash.

Glass and metal mosaics are chic and eye-catching.

Glass, ceramic, and porcelain are easy to clean and can be installed in less than a day. Natural stone mosaics cost more and require a little more care than other materials, but with regular sealing and a little extra effort, a natural stone backsplash can last a lifetime.

While all materials offer luxurious style, natural stone is mined so each one is completely unique. Coupled with its propensity to increase resale value, natural stone backsplashes are rising in popularity.

Because the shower is always wet, plans for the shower wall should garner some special attention. As a vertical surface, shower wall tile doesn’t have standing water or foot traffic as considerations but should be able to withstand daily moisture and regular cleaning. For these reasons, and so many more, tile is the best choice for the shower wall.

We recommend ceramic and porcelain for the shower wall, as they are the most water-resistant, durable, and easy to clean. Natural stone for the shower is growing in demand and is an exquisite choice, but it does require sealing before use, resealing annually, and cleaners designed for natural stone.

Shower wall tile requires proper moisture barriers or backer board to ensure the installation stays watertight. Visit our installation guide to learn more about shower tile installation.
