Bring your kitchen project to life with mosaic tiles

For many homes, the kitchen splashback is the hero of the kitchen space. And it’s often one of the most deliberated design decisions in a home.

A new splashback is an easy and effective way to revive your kitchen. It’s an opportunity to express your personal style in a space often surrounded by neutral benchtops and cabinetry.

Tiles are a popular option, as they’re durable, wipe clean and are easy to install. Want to really make an impact with maximum colour and texture? Go for a mosaic tiled splashback.

Technology has come a long way with the design and manufacture of mosaic tiles.
Mosaic tiles are nowadays available in a wide variety of colours, textures, finishes and materials such as glass, ceramic, porcelain and stone. Striking patterns and beautifully detailed surfaces can be created in your kitchen, all with the use of mosaic tiles.

Why are mosaic tiles great for your kitchen splashback?

Unique, stylish and on trend, mosaic tiles were made for the kitchen. Here’s why.

Mosaic tiles are easy to install

Despite what you may have heard in the past, fixing mosaic tiles isn’t as hard as you think. These days, most mosaic tiles come sheeted with mesh backing, so they are very quick and easy to install. To make your life easier design your cabinet heights to match in with what mosaics you are going to use.

Mosaic splashback tiles are simple to maintain

One of the reasons why mosaic tiles are great to use in your kitchen is that they are easy to keep clean. However, extra care must be taken when it comes to the grout so that it doesn’t stain.

Our tip: Use a grout sealant once the splashback is installed so you get maximum protection from stains. This also works for stone splashbacks to give extra life.

Mosaic tiles can protect your walls

Creating a tiled kitchen splashback helps protect your walls from everyday damage. Not only will investing in mosaic tiles add a splash of colour to your kitchen, it will also prevent your walls from coming into contact with grease, food and dirt. It’s a lot easier to clean a tiled wall than it is a stained wall!

Mosaic kitchen tiles are versatile

The good thing about mosaic tiles is that there are so many options to choose from. You can be bold and experiment with different designs to see which new look will complement your kitchen.
