What Are Kitchen Tiles? Kitchen tile is any wall or floor tile installed in a kitchen, most commonly porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone chosen for how well it resists grease, water, and daily foot traffic. It does three jobs in one room: it protects the wall behind the stove and sink, it covers the floor underfoot, and increasingly it dresses an island face or open shelving as an accent. Kitchen tile differs from bathroom tile in what it's optimized for. A bathroom floor is chosen mainly for slip resistance in a wet room, while a kitchen floor and backsplash are chosen first for how easily they wipe clean and how they hold up near heat.

Look for a PEI rating of 3 or higher on any kitchen floor tile, since that rating reflects how well the glaze holds up to foot traffic, and pair it with a grout joint of 1/8 inch or narrower for the cleanest line.

Our subway tile and backsplash tile collections cover both, and the wider wall til
