How to install large tile backsplash?

As with any tiling project, you must start by prepping your walls. Making sure your walls are plumb will ensure a level installation and any future maintenance or aesthetic problems. If your wall is not plumb, the wall may need to be adjusted or sanded. Seal and fill any cracks or holes in the wall as well. After, cleaning and priming the wall with a primer, your wall is ready to be tiled!

Installation

As larger tiles are heavier than the smaller ones, they require a substrate that will properly support the tiles. It is best to discuss what options of mortars are best and available upon buying the tiles but the two key points are; the adhesive should have minimal shrinkage to avoid any cracks in tiles due to movement, and it should be able to hold the large tile in place while setting to avoid any slippage. Make sure to support the tiles as they are set and avoid uneven walls to prevent tiles from cracking or sloping.

Unlike smaller tiles, it will be harder to disguise any errors on the wall. Then, add a layer to the wall as recommended by the product and make sure to back butter the tile as well. It is important to layout your design of tiles before application of the adhesive to ensure fitting to the wall and determine the starting point.

Grouting

Once you have tiled your wall, wait for the adhesive to set in as recommended, and then apply your chosen grout. Choosing a color of grout closer to your tiles and opting for minimal thickness will create a feeling of cohesive surface, for a more modern look you can pick a contrasting color. Apply the grout at a 45-degree angle to the grout lines, filling in as evenly as possible. Then allow the grout to dry enough before cleaning the tile surfaces of any excess with a wet sponge. Seal the connection points between surfaces.

What size tile should I use for backsplash?

What size you pick is entirely up to your preference!

However, going for a unique cut in a field size may inhibit showing off the design of the tiling so make sure to always lay out your tiles before installing to ensure your vision translates to reality.

Trendy White Open Plan Kitchen with Glass Tile Backsplash

This contemporary kitchen carries the very little color and relies on differing textures to create a bright and trendy space. The quartz countertops, flat-panel cabinets, white plaster walls, and glass subway tiles come together to create this effect. The usually staggered glass tiles are kept orderly to add to the contemporary feel and follow the ninety-degree lines of the design.

The sleek linear pendants above the island match the appliances. To brighten up such a space, you may treat it as a gallery as such, mounting your favorite art piece on the wall.

Is it easier to tile with large or small tiles?

This largely depends on what you would consider being easier at installation. While the installation processes are generally the same, larger size tiles do require special handling due to their weight. Double checking that your surface is even and straight to avoid cracking and using the appropriate mortar that will bolster your tiles sufficiently should ensure the best results! Larger tiles, on the other hand, allow for shorter times of installation due to fewer pieces and fewer grout lines which will make your life easier in the long run. Just gauging what you would like to get out of your backsplash will answer this question for you.
