Things to consider while choosing

Wall Tiles

Wall tiles can simplify designing your accent walls or elevation design ideas in residential and commercial settings. Apart from the bathroom walls and kitchen backsplash, you can use wall tiles for TV back walls, dining room accent walls, balcony, elevation cladding and corridor walls.

Other than beautification, wall tiles make wall maintenance easy and convenient. This feature of wall tiles is especially useful in the kitchen and bathroom where walls may receive water and oil residue. You can clean the tile-clad walls by simply wiping them with a clean cloth.

When looking for cladding tiles for exterior use, it is critical to look for an option that protects the exterior from the elements. Using such strong cladding tiles protects the home structure from rain, heat, harsh sun, and other elements.

Cladding tiles are made of ceramic or vitrified material, which makes them very durable, robust, and stylish.

Types of Wall Tiles at H&R Johnson

  • Ceramic Tiles: Ceramic wall tiles are non vitrified tiles with attractive digitally printed designs and versatile functionality. These tiles are best for spaces like bathroom walls, and kitchen backsplashes. You can select from a glossy or matte glazed surface with various digital prints which create a range of designs. For example, natural stone prints, and digital coordinated and geometric prints complement the decor of your space.

  • Vitrified Tiles: Vitrified tile is a low-porosity tile which features almost nil or negligible water absorption. It is a less expensive alternative to marble and granite. Vitrified tiles are frequently used outside due to their water and frost resistance. Vitrified tiles come in four different styles: soluble salt, double charge, full body, and glazed.

  • Glazed Vitrified Tiles: Glazed vitrified tiles (GVT) or porcelain tiles have a glazed surface which can be printed and polished to achieve different textures and designs. They offer a wide range of designs, art, and texture, including wood grain, bamboo, slate, and stone.

FAQs

1. What type of tile is best for walls?

You can use ceramic or vitrified tiles for walls. Ceramic tiles are a relatively durable and economical wall tile solution. Both ceramic and vitrified tiles (glazed vitrified tiles) come in a variety of colours and patterns. Natural patterns like marble and stone are very popular if you want to make your spaces look classy, elegant, and sophisticated.

These are treated to make them more durable and resistant to scratches, stains, and acid spillage than other types of tiles.

2. Can wall tile be installed on drywall?

Yes, you can install a ceramic wall tile directly over drywall or plaster if your wall is smooth and flat. Clean the wall to remove any grease before applying recommended Tile adhesive and follow instructions while installing the tile

3. Which tile size is best for walls?

The best tile size depends on the area you want to cover, the design theme you are following and the ease of installation you want. The bigger the cover area the larger the wall tile. You can also use large wall tiles (120x60cm) to create artistic or accent walls in spaces. Using very small tiles (10.8x10.8cm and 30.2x10cm) on large walls can be a task

4. How to calculate the square feet of a wall for tile?

Calculate the height and length of the wall in feet. Multiply the height and width figures. This is the total square footage for that segment of your project. If you have windows or doors on the wall, you can calculate their area separately and deduct it from the total square feet of wall area to get the tiling area.

5. Which tile types are the best for the exterior?

Porcelain tiles designed for outdoor use are an excellent choice for your deck or patio area. These clay-based tiles are non-porous, fade-resistant, and extremely long-lasting. Porcelain tiles, unlike stone tiles, do not crack in extreme weather.

6. Is wall tile waterproof?

The glazed surface of the ceramic wall tiles makes them impervious to water absorption from one side. However, if you are using tiles in outdoor spaces, vitrified and GVT are better solutions as their base also resists water absorption.

7. Are textured wall tiles hard to clean?

Cleaning difficulty for tiles would stem from their tendency to absorb spillage and grease. Since most ceramic and vitrified tiles are either polished or glazed, they can easily resist absorbing dust or spillage. Thus, tile surfaces can be easily wiped clean except for the 3D elevation tiles with natural rustic patterns.
