Wall and Subway Tiles

Tile Information

Wall tiles, also known as subway tiles, are an excellent addition to customized projects. These tiles are transitional in design and can be coupled with different elements to change the feel of any layout. Typically, subway tiles can give a modern, rustic or traditional look, based on the surrounding environment. When deciding the style of the room, consider whether a tone on tone look, or a contrast element. Are you matching floor tiles? Are you matching cabinet colors? What color paint is the room? These are important questions that Tile Factory Outlet can answer. When installing next to cabinet, it’s easier to contrast than it is to match. Because of glaze and sheen differences, a corresponding color is more obtainable. Even matching an existing porcelain floor tile can be tricky.

Installing subway tiles on your wall is a great way to enhance the beauty of your interior. Subway tile is a classic design that has stood the test of time. Whether you’re building a new house or just simply updating the look of your home, choosing subway tiles to adorn your walls is an investment with a guaranteed return. The timeless beauty of subway tiles will not only enhance the aesthetics of your interior but also increase the resale value of your property.

Subway/Wall Tile FAQ

Subway tile is a popular option for a kitchen backsplash.  One of the reasons for this is because of the size.  “Subway” is a general term used to describe a small rectangular shaped tile that is mostly solid in color.  Usually a 3×6 (the traditional size) or 3×12.

The current trends have a white as the most popular color.  We are also seeing an increase in the demand for soft cream and ivory colors.

When installing a small tile like a 3×6 or 3×12 on a kitchen backsplash a small 1/4″ or 3/16″ v-notch trowel is all you will need.

Technically a subway tile can be either a wall or a floor tile.  Remember a floor tile can be installed on a wall, but a wall tile should not be used on the floor. 

The main differences between the two are the raw materials used to make the tile and the hardness of the glaze.
