Factors to Consider When Installing Natural Stone Wall Tile

Porous

A lot of people love natural stone for their homes. It is because it offers an elegant look and is durable. However, natural stones need proper maintenance. It is essential to seal your natural stone to minimize the chance of stains and erosion.

Sealing helps to keep your stone looking beautiful and protects your investment. Some materials require more frequent sealing, but it is never a good idea to ignore the process.

Natural stone is a porous material that absorbs water. Whether you use marble, granite, limestone, or slate, you want to make sure it looks great. You can use a topical or penetrating sealer to protect your stone.

You can do a simple water test to determine whether your stone is porous. The water should bead up tightly on the tile’s surface, but if it spreads out, you may need to reseal it.

Sealing is not simple, but it will help protect your stone from stains. Using a high-quality sealer will also make your stone easier to clean.

Polished

If you’re looking for an inexpensive yet durable way to add beauty to your home, consider installing a natural stone wall tile. These tiles are made from natural materials and can come in various colors and textures. They’re also easy to clean, which is a huge plus.

Installing a stone wall tile is an easy process that can be done in just 15 minutes. You’ll want to measure and mark your tile and then lay the tile in dry form. Once you’ve laid the tile, you’ll need to caulk the edges and corners. It will keep your walls and floor clean and will help prevent stains from forming.

Natural stone wall tile can be used in the kitchen, bathroom, or anywhere else you’d like a touch of nature. They can come in a variety of colors and can even be mixed with other materials. Their durability will make them last for years.

Choosing the right natural stone tile for your home depends on the traffic it will receive. Whether you’re planning to use the tile for a bathroom, kitchen, or any other area of the house, it’s essential to consider the design of the space.

Durability

Natural stone wall tile is a beautiful way to add color and charm to your home. It is also eco-friendly, making it an excellent choice for homes with children. You can choose from a wide variety of natural stones, including granite, limestone, marble, and onyx.

Unlike ceramic, natural stone is a naturally strong material. It means it is more durable and is not easily scratched or chipped. However, it does need to be sealed regularly to prevent stains. Also, because natural stone is porous, you may need to clean it more often.

When choosing a sealer, select one with a high-quality finish. Sealants help to protect your investment, as well as make cleaning the surface easier. Using an acidic cleaner will damage your stone, so you will want to avoid using this kind of cleaner.

Before installing your new natural stone wall tiles, clear away all debris. Debris can clog up your stone’s pores, causing it to lose its beauty. A good quality sealer will fill in the pores and protect your stone.

Backsplashes

Natural stone wall tile backsplashes can be a stunning addition to your kitchen. They add an element of sophistication to any room while also being extremely easy to clean.

These tiles come in various colors, shapes, and designs and can work with virtually any home style. Stone tiles can be purchased in multiple varieties, including marble, granite, slate, and travertine.

When choosing the right color for your natural stone backsplash, consider the rest of the room. For example, a dark natural stone countertop can be matched with a light-colored backsplash. These hues might look great with a beige floor and neutral browns. Choose a one-of-a-kind backsplash design, such as a mosaic or geometric tile.

Depending on the type of natural stone used in your backsplash, keep it on a maintenance schedule. Most types of rock will need to be resealed once a year. If you are a dedicated cook, consider upgrading your backsplash to a higher-maintenance option.

Cost

If you’re considering installing natural stone wall tile, how much will it cost? Natural stone is a costly undertaking. It can be as expensive as $10 to $30 per square foot, depending on the type of stone used. However, it’s relatively easy to install and can significantly add value to your home.

You can pay around $7 per square foot for stone installation. This price is based on the room size and whether it’s an L-shaped or rectangle. Large open rooms go more quickly, while narrow spaces take longer.

Some types of natural stone include slate, travertine, and marble. These materials are rigid but may crack if exposed to too much pressure. You can also opt for honed stone, an excellent non-slip option.

Whether you opt for natural stone or another material, you’ll want to seal your flooring. Sealing is necessary to protect it from damage and reduce staining. The price varies based on the traffic and moisture your floor will encounter.
