Kitchen Tile
Kitchen tile has to look good and clean up easily, and ceramic and porcelain do both. This collection covers every part of the kitchen: glossy 3x6 and 3x12 subway tile and handmade-look squares for the backsplash, matte 12x24 and 24x48 porcelain for floors, and hexagon, penny round and picket mosaics for feature walls and islands. Looks run from marble, concrete and limestone to encaustic patterns and plain glazed color in white, gray, beige, blue, green and black. Porcelain floor tiles are rated for heavy foot traffic and are easy to wipe down; ceramic wall tiles are lighter and simple to cut around outlets and cabinets. Order samples first to check color in your light, then buy by the box. Everything here is in stock and ships in 2–3 business days.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best tile for a kitchen backsplash?
Glazed ceramic in 3x6, 3x12 or 4x10 subway is the easiest to install and clean. Handmade-look squares and zellige-look tile add texture; porcelain mosaics suit islands and feature walls.
What is the best tile for a kitchen floor?
Matte porcelain in 12x24, 24x24 or 24x48. Porcelain is dense, scratch-resistant and does not need sealing. Choose a matte or textured finish for grip.
Ceramic or porcelain for the kitchen?
Ceramic for walls and backsplashes: lighter, cheaper and easier to cut. Porcelain for floors and anywhere water sits: denser, harder and frost-resistant.
How much tile do I need for a backsplash?
Measure width x height of each wall section in inches, divide by 144 for square feet, add 10% for cuts. Each product page shows square feet per box.
Can backsplash tile go behind a gas range?
Yes. Ceramic, porcelain and glass are all heat-resistant. Keep the manufacturer's clearance from the burners to the wall.
Do you sell samples?
Yes. Most items have a sample listing linked from the product page. Colors and glaze variation look different on every screen, so we recommend ordering samples before you buy by the box.
How fast does it ship?
Orders ship in 2–3 business days from our US warehouses. Boxed tile ships by ground or LTL freight depending on weight; samples ship by parcel.
