Porcelain Kitchen Splashback

Yes, splashback wall tiles are designed for use in both kitchens and bathrooms, offering a stylish and highly practical solution wherever there is risk of moisture, stains or heat. 

• In kitchens: Splashback tiles are typically installed behind hobs, sinks and worktops to protect the wall from cooking splashes, water stains and grease. 
• In bathrooms: They are ideal for use behind basins and vanities, providing a barrier against water splashes and creating a clean, easy-to-maintain surface. 

Yes, any space where water, steam, oils or cleaning products are regularly used will benefit from the protection that tiles provide. 

While they are most often used in kitchens and bathrooms, they can also be used in:

• Utility rooms
• Cloakrooms
• Laundry areas 
• Outdoor kitchens 
• Garden rooms. 

Splashbacks can also be used purely as a design feature. For example, tiling a section of wall above a shelf, behind a mirror, or within a recessed niche can add a professional finish to your décor.

The best materials for splashback wall tiles are those that are resistant to moisture, heat and stains while offering durability and ease of maintenance. 

1. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are among the most popular choices because they are non-porous, easy to clean and available in a vast range of colours, styles and textures. 
2. Glass tiles are another excellent splashback material offering a smooth, high-gloss finish. They are also stain-resistant and come in vibrant colours and sleek designs. 
3. For a more rustic or textured look, natural stone tiles like marble or slate can also be used, though these usually require sealing and more regular maintenance.

We stock splashback tiles in all of these materials at Hyperion Tiles, ensuring you have a wide selection of both practical and beautiful options.

Splashback areas are incredibly flexible when it comes to tile size, and the best size often depends on the look you want to achieve and the space itself. 

• Smaller 10x20cm formats, such as classic metro tiles) remain a timeless choice. These tiles suit both traditional and contemporary kitchens and can easily be fitted into compact spaces, like the area between worktops and wall units.
• If you’re aiming for a more seamless or modern aesthetic, large-format tiles are a brilliant option as they reduce grout lines and offer a sleek, clean look. These are especially effective in minimalist kitchens or modern bathrooms, where simplicity and easy maintenance are priorities. 
• Mosaic tiles, which consist of tiny tiles on a mesh backing, are also a popular choice for splashbacks due to their ability to follow curved or irregular shapes and add texture and detail to small areas. 

At Hyperion Tiles, we offer a wide range of sizes and formats, so whether you want a bold patterned feature or a subtle backdrop, you’ll find a tile that suits your space.
