How do I clean picket tiles?
Just use a damp, clean cloth. The glossy and polished surfaces wipe clean with minimal effort.

What grout color should I use with picket tile?
Neutral grouts like white, gray, or beige create a clean and classic look. Darker grout can add contrast and highlight the unique shape of picket tiles, creating a bolder finish.
How do you install picket tiles?
Apply tile adhesive to a clean, level surface using a notched trowel. Press each tile firmly into place, using spacers to maintain even grout lines. For edges or corners, cut tiles with a wet saw for a precise fit. Allow the adhesive to set for 24 hours. After curing, apply grout evenly across the surface, wipe off excess with a damp sponge, and let the grout dry. Finish by cleaning the tiles and sealing if needed.
What to pair with a picket tile?
Picket tile pairs exceptionally well with wooden cabinets and earth-toned finishes, creating a warm, natural aesthetic.
How do you finish a corner or an angle wall with the picket tile horizontal?
To achieve a clean and professional finish, it's essential to cut the tiles in a straight line precisely where the wall ends. This ensures that the tiles align perfectly with the wall's edge, providing a seamless transition and enhancing the overall appearance of the tiled area.
What are picket tiles?
Picket tiles are elongated, hexagonal tiles that resemble the shape of a traditional picket fence. They typically have a more narrow width and pointed ends, creating a distinctive and modern geometric look. These tiles are often used for backsplashes, accent walls, or flooring to add visual interest and a contemporary touch to interior spaces.
Which way do you lay picket tiles?
Picket tiles are typically laid in a vertical or horizontal pattern, depending on the desired aesthetic. For a more traditional look, they can be arranged vertically, resembling a picket fence. Alternatively, laying them horizontally can create a modern and elongated appearance. Ultimately, the direction you choose should complement the design and flow of the space.
What surface texture should I choose for picket tiles?
Surface texture influences both the tactile feel and visual appeal of picket tiles. A wavy texture, like that of the Picket Wall Tile 4x12 White Glossy, adds depth and interest to the tile, creating a dynamic look. Smooth textures offer a sleek, clean appearance, while more textured options can provide slip resistance. With various textures, you can find the perfect match for your functional and aesthetic requirements. If you are looking for a floor application requiring slip resistance, a matte finish is recommended. However, for a wall application, it depends on your aesthetic preference.
What are the best applications for picket tiles?
Picket tiles are versatile and can be used in various applications, from kitchen backsplashes to bathroom walls. For instance, the Picket Wall Tile 4x12 White Glossy is suitable for feature walls, showers, and fireplaces. When selecting tiles, consider the specific area of installation and the environmental conditions to which they will be exposed. With multiple application options, you can use picket tiles to enhance any space.
