Tile Selection Guide for Vancouver WA Kitchens and Bathrooms

Tile selection joins appearance with location, layout, and installation requirements. A wall tile and a shower-floor tile should not be assumed to serve the same purpose.

At a glance: Confirm the selected product is suitable for its intended surface. Review layout, cuts, edges, grout, cleaning, and the preparation behind the tile before approving an order.

Look beyond the sample board

Ask how the proposed size will meet corners, niches, cabinets, and doorways. Review visible cuts and where the layout begins. A patterned or large-format tile can look very different when interrupted by small openings, so use the room’s measured plan to test the design.

Specify the complete finish

Coordinate edge pieces, grout appearance, transitions, and care requirements with the field tile. For wet areas, discuss the underlying waterproofing and drainage separately from the decorative surface. Confirm quantities and product availability through the installer rather than calculating an order from room area alone.

Tile details to coordinate

  • large-format porcelain tile for shower walls
  • smaller mosaic tile where shower floor slope needs grip
  • ceramic or zellige-look tile for backsplash character

For additional background, review Schluter shower system resources. Check the requirements and instructions that apply to your own project.

Questions about tile selection

Can the same tile be used on every surface?

Only when the product is suitable for each intended use. Check the manufacturer’s information and the installer’s requirements for walls, floors, and wet areas.

Why should grout be chosen with the tile?

It affects the visible pattern and maintenance expectations. Review an actual combination instead of assuming every grout color will make the same tile look alike.
