Why Are Ceramic and Terracotta Tiles Popular Kitchen Backsplash Choices?

Selecting ceramic tiles or terracotta tiles for your kitchen backsplash not only adds personality to your kitchen but also practicality. In addition to presenting an artistic element in the space, they can protect your walls from water and food spatter.

Moreover, these tiles are extremely easy to clean, which makes them ideal if you love to spend time in the kitchen. Here at Country Floors, we offer numerous styles, sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns in these organic decoration elements. With so many alternatives on the market, homeowners can also determine the texture of their kitchen backsplash.

Another benefit of ceramic and terracotta tiles is easy installation and replacement opportunities. Although we recommend hiring a professional to install your tiles, you can do it on your own to save money. These tiles are highly durable against impacts but in case of any cracks, you can easily replace them.

Thus, although the chances are slim, you may want to keep a few more tiles at hand to replace your cracked tiles in the future. Standard ceramic and terracotta tiles can also last for at least twenty years without losing their color or form. If you perform regular maintenance, your tiles can last a lifetime!
