Kitchen Tiles - FAQ

Should you tile before or after fitting worktops?

It is recommended to tile AFTER fitting worktops as a good kitchen fitter will be able to make sure everything lines up.

  1. Fit the worktops.
  2. Fit the tiles and grout them.
  3. Apply a bead of silicone sealant along the join between the tiles and the worktop. This will ensure that liquids etc spilt on the surface will not run down behind the surface and behind the backs of the units.
Should you tile the entire kitchen?

Deciding to tile a whole wall or kitchen area is a design decision as you might be creating a particular look.

How do I work out how many tiles I need for my kitchen?

Use the tile calculator on a product page to work out your area or use the links for

How do you match kitchen tiles with countertops?

Countertop and backsplash colours should complement one another.

Are kitchen tiles heat resistant?

Yes tiles are heat resistant but is is not recommended to have high heat directly touching as this and crackle the glaze.

Always ensure that the tiles are a minimum of 3cm from any heat source, and if behind a hob do not let hot pans touch the tile surface. This is to avoid cracking from extreme thermal pressure.

Can kitchen tiles be painted?

How do I keep my kitchen tiles shiny?

Gloss tiles have a shinny glaze so regular cleaning with water will keep them clean and fresh.

It's not recommended using aggressive or acidic cleaning products to clean tiles such as CIF/Windolene etc as these can irrevocably mark the tiles.
