Frequently Asked Questions
Which way to lay rectangular wall tiles?
The beauty of rectangular tiles is their flexibility. A standard brick-bond (staggered) layout offers a traditional, timeless feel. For a more modern, architectural look, try a vertical or horizontal "stacked" layout where the grout lines align perfectly to create a clean grid. You can even lay them in a herringbone pattern for a standout feature wall.
Should I choose small or large rectangular tiles?
Small rectangular tiles, like classic metro tiles, are brilliant for creating intricate patterns and adding character to compact areas, such as kitchen splashbacks. Large rectangular wall tiles require fewer grout lines, making them easier to clean and perfect for achieving a sleek, expansive look in bathrooms or larger living areas.
Are rectangular tiles difficult to install?
Not at all. Rectangular tiles are generally very straightforward to work with. If you are an ambitious DIYer, ceramic rectangular tiles are particularly easy to cut and handle. Just ensure you use tile spacers to keep your grout lines perfectly uniform, especially when attempting stacked or herringbone layouts.
