Does porcelain make a good backsplash?
Of course yes! When it comes to backsplashes there are two main aspects: visual aesthetic and functionality. And if you are looking for a material that fulfills both aspects, porcelain tiles are the one!
Porcelain tiles are excellent materials for backsplashes for several reasons. Kitchen backsplashes are subjected to daily wear and tear, and the inherent toughness of the porcelain makes it a perfect choice. Due to their non-porous nature, porcelain tiles are also water resistant which means they won’t absorb liquids or stains. Even if you splash a hot coffee or a glass of wine, a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth will be enough to keep the tile surfaces clean.
Besides these functional aspects, the wide variety of porcelain tile’s color, shape, texture, and pattern options allows you to personalize your space. From classic subway tile backsplash designs to more innovative tiles, you can find endless alternatives. These tiles can even mimic natural materials like marble, brick, or wood.

The color palette this year is full of bright and saturated hues. Besides the color options, texture is certainly the main focus: hand-crafted porcelain tiles, waves in glaze, relief shapes, and pieces of artwork.
Even for those who like a miniaturized or bold statement, large slabs of quartz or other stones like marble are now becoming increasingly popular for backsplashes. While large tiles tend to dominate, small mosaic tiles are coming back in style and there is no limit to the different design possibilities they offer and their personal touch.

Clean lines, timeless class, and a little dose of chic minimalism. These are the focal points for white backsplash designs.

Is it better to have porcelain or ceramic tile?
When it comes to backsplash materials, ceramic and porcelain are the two popular choices. But which one is better? These two options are often mentioned in the same breath. Even though they share some similarities, some important differences set them apart.
Both ceramic and porcelain materials are made of clay. Ceramic tiles are thin slabs of clay, water, and other inorganic materials that are hardened in a high-temperature kiln and usually coated with a glaze. Technically, porcelain tiles are a type of ceramic. But porcelain tiles are crafted from a higher grade of clay and fired at higher temperatures than ceramics. This different process makes the porcelain more durable and less porous.
Apart from their longevity, both porcelain and ceramic materials come in a myriad of colors, textures, finish patterns and shapes that homeowners can opt for while customizing their homes.
In this way, both materials have their own benefits and concerns. If you want an affordable material, ceramic tiles can be a perfect choice for you. On the other hand, if you are looking for something that is going to last longer and be durable, you should consider using porcelain tiles instead.
Modern Gray Porcelain Backsplash
Sleek and chic gray is among the most versatile colors that can be used by designers of interior projects. Unlike stark white, gray gives a subdued warmth and the presence of a stable base layer. Grays range from light to almost black giving off a look of sophistication and lived-in nature. Lighter hues tend towards cool sophistication, whereas darker shades bring an element of earthy elegance into the picture. From a contemporary point of view, clean lines and a neutral palette are essential elements that are easily expressed by the gray porcelain tiles. Your kitchen can have warm wood cabinetry, stark white countertops, or cool stainless steel appliances; the gray can still fit in with various color schemes and design styles.
Unlike natural stones like marble or granite, porcelain tiles withstand heat and moisture with ease. Also, porcelain’s non-porous nature makes it highly resistant to stains and scratches, ideal for busy kitchens!

What are the disadvantages of porcelain tiles?
Although porcelain tiles have lots of advantages, there are still some drawbacks to these types of materials. First of all, even though porcelain tiles are a durable material, they are not invincible. Heavy impacts, extreme temperature changes, or improper installation can lead to cracking. Larger porcelain tiles can be quite heavy, especially thicker slabs. This necessitates stronger support for installation and might add extra costs.
If you are going to use porcelain tiles on the floor, some porcelain finishes can become slippery when wet. But you can consider textured tiles or non-slip treatments for these zones.
And finally, the cost factor. While generally more affordable than natural stone like granite, porcelain can still be pricier than options like ceramic tiles or vinyl backsplashes.
