Choosing a splashback

Gloss vs matt

Gloss and satin splashbacks are the easiest to clean and bounce light around the room. Matt gives a softer, more handmade feel.

Layout

Subway tiles can be laid in a classic brick bond, stacked vertically, or in a herringbone for more movement. Squares suit a stack bond, which shows off zellige-style variation.

Grout colour

A matching grout gives a calm, seamless look. A contrasting grout highlights the shape of each tile. Bring a sample of your benchtop and we’ll help you compare.

Zellige vs zellige-look

Traditional zellige is handmade glazed terracotta from Morocco with uneven edges. Zellige-look tiles capture that variation in a ceramic tile that is easier to lay and more consistent in size.

Frequently asked questions

What tiles are best for a kitchen splashback?
Glazed ceramic or porcelain wall tiles in a gloss or satin finish are best, because they’re easy to wipe clean. Subway tiles, zellige-look squares and finger mosaics are the most popular styles.
What is a zellige-look tile?
A zellige-look tile copies the handmade, glossy and slightly uneven surface of traditional Moroccan zellige, but is made as a ceramic tile that is easier to lay. Ranges like Omega, Manacor and Artisan are zellige-look tiles.
How do I choose a splashback to match my benchtop?
Bring a sample or photo of your benchtop and cabinetry to our Hamilton North showroom. Seeing them side by side is the easiest way to choose a colour and grout.
