A well-selected backsplash tile enhances a kitchen's aesthetic while protecting surfaces from spills. However, not all tiles are created equal regarding maintenance. Glossy tiles, such as glazed ceramics, are easier to clean than porous or textured options. Expert interior designer Artem Kropovinsky advises minimizing grout lines and sealing them to prevent stains. Materials like glass and porcelain are good choices, while porous tiles can absorb stains and grease, complicating cleaning. Textured tiles, while visually appealing, often necessitate more effort to maintain cleanliness.
Glossy tiles, like glazed ceramics, are easier to wipe down than porous or heavily textured ones. Minimize grout lines where possible and seal grout to prevent stains.
Backsplash panels made with tiles that have a textured surface, like stone, can lend a kitchen a grounded, natural feel. However, the rugged surface requires more elbow grease to clean.
