Frequently Asked Questions?

What is the best tile for shower walls?

Porcelain and glass are the top choices for shower walls thanks to their non-porous, moisture-resistant surfaces. Ceramic is a more budget-friendly option that still performs well when properly sealed and grouted.

Do shower walls need special waterproof tile?

The tile itself doesn't need to be waterproof, but the installation does, a waterproofing membrane or backer board rated for wet areas should go behind the tile. Properly installed tile then forms a moisture barrier that protects the wall underneath.

How big should shower wall tile be?

Larger-format tiles create a seamless look with fewer grout lines to maintain, which many homeowners prefer for a spa-like feel. Smaller tiles and mosaics work well for accent strips, niches, and curved areas where large tile can't easily conform. See our shower wall tile size guide for a full breakdown.

Can I use the same tile style on my shower floor and walls?

Floor-rated tile can be used on walls, but wall-rated tile is often too thin or slippery to use safely on a floor. If you want a cohesive look, choose a floor-rated tile and use it on both surfaces.
