These dimensions are in mm (millimetres) Smaller kitchen splashbacks walls tend to look better with medium size tiles such as 300x300 and 450x450.

Q: Will my kitchen splashback tiles look like the sample?

Your sample is an excellent guide for the general look, feel, finish, and thickness of your eventual kitchen splashback tiles. With that said, we advise against using it as a guarantee of colour, veins, or fossils. Kitchen splashback tile samples may not always show the full variation of a tile. We advise a combination of looking at photos of the kitchen splashback tile in other customer projects, artist impressions, and scanning the QR code behind the sample for a video demonstration.

Question 1

Do kitchen splashback tiles require sealing?

Accepted Answer

Porcelain kitchen splashback tiles do not require sealing as they are hardly absorbent. Natural stone kitchen splashback tiles such as limestone, travertine, and marble stone flooring require sealing to make them water resistant and resistant to permanent staining. We recommend FILA products for sealing natural stone kitchen splashback tiles

With that said, the grout lines for porcelain and natural stone kitchen splashback tiles should be sealed. This can be done with grout protector (porcelain tiles) or FILA sealer products (natural stone)

Question 2

What other items do I need for kitchen splashback tiles?

Accepted Answer

We recommend Tilemaster, Fugabella, and Bostic grout and adhesive for kitchen splashback tiles. Your builder can provide the levelling kit, spacers, and anti-crack mats. Enjoy money off when bought together with your kitchen splashback tiles. Adhesive is used for sticking the kitchen wall tiles to the wall.
Grout is used for the gaps between the kitchen wall tiles
Levelling kits are used to prevent lipping in kitchen wall tiles Spacers are used to ensure all your kitchen wall tiles are evenly spaced
Backer boards might also be required for plaster board but your builder will advise

Question 3

Should I seal grout in kitchen splashback tiles?

Accepted Answer

Grout lines between kitchen splashback tiles are most likely to get dirty and stain so yes! Porcelain kitchen splashback tiles do not normally require sealing because of their low absorbency rate but the grout lines (gaps between the kitchen splashback tiles) need to be protected. Sealing the grout lines will protect them from permanent staining. FILA has specific grout sealer products that you can select when making your kitchen splashback tile purchase

Natural stone kitchen splashback tiles are porous so they require sealing and the FILA sealer for the tiles can also be used to seal the grout lines

Question 4

Are kitchen splashback tiles durable?

Accepted Answer

Kitchen splashback tiles are an investment for your home and are down for longer than most rooms so it’s important to ensure that you choose a high-quality, hardwearing kitchen splashback tile. You want to rest assured that your kitchen cabinets and appliances are sitting on a strong, durable and high-quality surface. At Boutique Stone, this is something we are passionate about

Our handpicked, curated selection of porcelain kitchen splashback tiles are made in Italy, Portugal, and Spain, the leaders in porcelain manufacturing tiles in Europe. This is a conscious decision based on our trust in the industry leaders in kitchen splashback porcelain tile manufacturing. Please search “Ceramics of Italy” and “Tiles of Spain” for more information. Being made in Italy, Portugal, and Spain means that the kitchen splashback tiles are made in state-of-the-art factories, and by companies heavily invested in using the highest quality of raw materials, and latest technologies.

When it comes to natural stone, we source our limestone and travertine kitchen splashback tiles from the regions with the highest quality of that stone. Some from Portugal, some from Italy, and some from Egypt and Turkey. With the exception of Anson Limestone, all our limestone is 15mm thick. In general, the thicker the limestone the more hardwearing it is

Question 5

Are kitchen splashback tiles porous?

Accepted Answer

Kitchen splashback tiles made from porcelain are not porous so do not require sealing. They have a low absorbency rate (<0.5%) You can easily perform a “water test” on your sample to see how long a drop of water lasts on the surface.

Kitchen splashback tiles made from natural stone such as limestone, marble, or travertine are porous by nature so they require sealing. We recommend FILA products for sealing which you can purchase together with your kitchen splashback tiles
