And by that, we mean it works everywhere: on patio floors, garden walkways, swimming pools and surrounds, outdoor kitchens and showers, and more!

For this collection, we carry stone look tile that emulates the real thing, resilient enough to withstand extreme temperatures, constant wear, and submersion in swimming pools.

Care Tips for Matte Porcelain Subway Tile Backsplash & Floor

Your surface coverings should support your lifestyle, not add more work. If you’re on the market for flooring that’s always immaculate and conceals the chaos of real life, matte porcelain subway tile bathroom and kitchen is your best bet. To keep floors in tip-top shape, sweep or vacuum regularly, then follow with a soft mop, warm water, and mild detergent.

Clean matte porcelain subway tile backsplash and walls with a soft cloth dampened in warm water and mild detergent. While porcelain does not need special treatment due to its non-porous nature, cement-based grout does and should be sealed every 6-12 months to repel moisture and stains.
