wall tile

Mounted decorative square

Wall tile is ceramic, porcelain, stone, or glass tile designed for vertical surfaces rather than floors.

Wall tiles are typically thinner and lighter than floor tiles, since they don't need to bear weight or resist heavy wear: We chose white subway tile for the kitchen backsplash.

Common in bathrooms, kitchens, and showers where moisture resistance matters.
