Weather you are looking for tiles to cover your kitchen backsplash or your bathroom shower, shopping by application might make more sense as a starting point. Since not all tiles are suitable for every single application, fall in love with a tile that can't be used for your project can be frustrating, costly, and a waste of time. By searching for glass mosaic, stainless steel, aluminum, stone mosaic or porcelain tiles for a specific application in mind, will help you to save money and time.
