Decorative tile can create backsplashes, feature walls, niches, fireplaces, powder rooms, and accent floors. Application ratings differ. A decorative wall product may not be suitable for walking traffic, submerged areas, or exterior exposure. Pattern repeat, trim, grout color, cutting, and maintenance should be planned.

Key considerations

  • stain resistance
