When remodeling your house, kitchen wall tiles are an excellent option for giving that space a stylish renovation. Thousands of styles and shades are available to choose from. Ceramic tiles are usually four inches square and are avalable in various price ranges. Take time to choose the best style that will be attractive as well as functional. There's a wide array of tiles to choose from when searching on the internet. Often you can get a better offer by ordering from a web business instead of from a brick-and-mortar store. For one thing you can look at the choices 24 hours a day without any sales staff flying over you. The different types of kitchen wall tiles include glass tiles. These can be clear or tinted and create an attractive twinkling effect when put in. Bubble and frosted glass tiles add a unique character to the general style. Another type, glazed ceramic tiles are made from clay having a baked on glaze which provides them a shiny appearance. Different kinds of clay are utilized to produce mosaic tiles, which are hued with various pigments so that the color runs through the tile. If the tile is damaged, it is hard to notice due to the continuous color. Vinyl tiles are also available for all those with limited funds, but great care should be taken with installation so they won't peel and percolate. It isn't unheard of for beginner do-it-yourself tile installers to install floor tiles instead of kitchen wall tiles. Tiles for a wall are generally sleeker than flooring and much slicker when wet. Typically, floor tiles are much thicker to withstand visitors and furnishings. Wall tiles tend to be more delicate as well as leaner. The Porcelain Enamel Institute (PEI) crafted a scale to reflect strength and durability of a particular tile. Floor tiles generally have a PEI rating of 3 (residential floors) to 5 (industrial heavy traffic). Wall tiles are rated from 0 to 2. The PEI rating should be printed on the box or else you can contact the tile manufacturer to discover that data. Putting in kitchen wall tiles is not as challenging as you might think. Start by patching holes and washing the wall down. If doing a mosaic, set up the ceramic tiles with out mortar for a desired design. You can cut tile with a wet saw to be sure it fits. When placed at the edge of the wall, cut tiles are less visible. Spread a thin layer of mortar on the wall with a notched trowel for ridges. Place a tile on the wall and carefully push it into the mortar. Place spacers between your tiles and be sure the floor tiles are level. After the mortar dries, take away the spacers and work the grout between the tiles. After 15 minutes use water and sponge to cleanse the tile. Stand back and admire your work!
