Porcelain is the top choice for kitchen floors since it resists stains and wear and never needs sealing. A matte or textured finish adds grip against splashes, and stone and wood looks pair with any cabinet color.
What tile is easiest to clean for a backsplash?+
Glazed ceramic, porcelain, and glass wipe clean in a swipe and shed grease and steam, which makes them the easiest backsplash surfaces. Sealed natural stone also works but needs a little more care near the cooktop.
Kitchen Tiles for Floors, Walls, and Backsplashes
A kitchen puts tile to work. Floors take dropped pans and heavy traffic, backsplashes take grease and heat, and both have to clean up fast and still look good. This collection brings together the tile our customers use across the whole room, from durable porcelain floors to natural stone and glazed ceramic backsplashes.
Where each material fits
For floors, porcelain is the workhorse choice since it resists stains and wear and never needs sealing. For backsplashes, glazed ceramic and glass wipe grease off easily, while sealed natural stone brings warmth and character behind a range. Small mosaics make the cuts around outlets and under cabinets much simpler.
