Marble Kitchen Tiles

Glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles are the most popular and practical choice for kitchen splashbacks. They are heat-resistant, non-porous and exceptionally easy to wipe clean, which is essential behind hobs and around food-preparation areas where grease and splashes are inevitable. Metro tiles remain a timeless favourite, while glass, metallic and patterned tiles offer a more contemporary or decorative statement. Natural stone can be used for a softer, characterful look but should be sealed to protect it from grease and acidic foods. Because a splashback is a relatively small area, it is also a great place to invest in a more eye-catching designer tile. Our team can help you choose a splashback that is both beautiful and effortless to maintain.

Tiles are an excellent choice for kitchen flooring because they are durable, water-resistant and easy to clean, ideal for a room prone to spills, dropped items and heavy foot traffic. Porcelain is particularly well suited, offering outstanding hardness, stain resistance and a huge variety of finishes, including realistic wood and stone effects. Natural stone and terracotta bring warmth and character but require sealing to guard against staining. For safety, choose a floor tile with a suitable anti-slip rating, as kitchens are prone to splashes. Tiles also work brilliantly with underfloor heating, adding comfort underfoot.

Yes. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are fired at extremely high temperatures during manufacture, which makes them highly heat-resistant and very well suited to use behind hobs, cookers and ranges. They will comfortably withstand the heat generated by normal cooking without discolouring or degrading. This is one of the reasons tiled splashbacks remain so popular in kitchens. It is worth noting that behind certain appliances, particularly some ranges and wood-burning installations, minimum clearances and specific requirements may apply, so it is always sensible to check the appliance manufacturer's guidance. For standard hobs, our ceramic, porcelain and glass splashback tiles provide a safe, durable and easy-clean surface.

Glazed ceramic and porcelain kitchen tiles are wonderfully low-maintenance: a regular wipe with a soft cloth and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner is usually all that is required to keep them looking immaculate, and they resist grease and stains well. Avoid abrasive scourers and harsh chemicals, which can dull the glaze over time. Grout lines benefit from occasional attention with a grout cleaner to keep them fresh. Natural stone tiles need a little more care: they should be sealed and cleaned only with stone-safe, pH-neutral products, as acidic cleaners can damage the surface. We stock appropriate cleaning and aftercare products, and our team can advise on the best routine for your specific tiles.

Yes, coordinating or matching tiles across kitchen floors and walls is a popular way to create a unified, spacious feel. Most floor-rated tiles can also be used on walls, so you can run a single design throughout for a seamless look. However, wall tiles should never be laid on the floor, as they are thinner and not rated for foot traffic. When using one tile in both locations, bear in mind that the floor needs adequate slip resistance, so a polished finish that looks superb on a wall may not be ideal underfoot. Our product pages indicate suitability for walls and floors, and our team can help you plan a coordinated kitchen scheme.

Yes, we offer free samples across our kitchen tile collection so you can assess the colour, texture and finish in your own kitchen before buying. Because kitchen lighting and existing cabinetry or worktops greatly affect how a tile looks, viewing a physical sample at home is the best way to be confident in your choice. Simply request samples via the product pages.
