A Quick and Affordable Update: New Backsplash Tile Installation

Whether they’re in your kitchen or your bathroom, backsplashes protect your walls from splashing water or oil while simultaneously incorporating style into a space as a visual focal point. If you’re craving an updated or fresh look you might want to consider new backsplash makeover. Since we’ve been doing bathroom and kitchen backsplash tile installation in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton and beyond for years, we’re here to tell you why. 

Let’s face it, a bathroom or kitchen remodels eat up a lot of time and a lot of money. As much as you might want to change up every floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall feature to bring about a fresh new space, it’s just not feasible for every room or everyone. But installing or replacing backsplash tile is an efficient and effective way to refresh a space without breaking the bank.

Updating or installing new backsplash tile usually only takes two to four days, so you won’t have to give up your kitchen or bathroom for weeks on end to get it totally redone. Also, backsplash installation is nowhere near as labour intensive as a full renovation, meaning the cost will be in the hundreds of dollars rather than the thousands.

Backsplash Tile Installation

Adding a new backsplash is more than just quick and affordable. By changing the backsplash, you’re able to totally refresh a room. It’s a great feature to express your creativity and add some flair by considering a new, functional focal point.

You can choose fun vibrant colours, more muted subtle colours, or have one bright colour paired with neutrals. You can also choose which style you’d like the tile to be laid in, and there are lots to choose from. With smaller areas like backsplashes you have more flexibility and impact to consider eye-catching herringbone, the classic brick bond, the interesting hexagon, varying sizes and shapes, and so much more. It’s all up to you to explore. But of course, our expert team of installers is always here for a second opinion and guidance should you require it.

If reading this has piqued your interest in adding or changing up your backsplash, pay attention to these tips from our tile installation experts:

• Tape sample tiles up in your kitchen or bathroom to determine which colours and/or materials you like best.
• Match the backsplash tiles to countertop tones, lighting fixtures, and cabinetry to tie the room together.
• If you have expensive taste but are on a budget, use classic ceramic tile and add visual interests through shape, layout, mixed materials or contrasting colours.

• Make the extended wall space above the sink or stove a focal point by using a more complex pattern or fun colours.
• Use high-quality mortar to adhere tiles to the wall so your backsplash lasts longer.
• Inquire about the material of tile you choose so you know how to avoid scratching it and how to properly clean it (all while keeping in mind how much maintenance you have the time to support).
• If you’re passionate about sustainability, recycled glass, cork mosaic, and 100% bamboo tiles are all eco-friendly materials.
