Sophisticate White 150x75mm

Yes, these ceramic wall tiles are listed as suitable for bathroom use and the gloss finish is particularly practical in a steamy environment as it is easy to wipe down and resistant to moisture when correctly installed. For a shower area, ensure the wall behind the tiles is properly waterproofed with a tanking membrane before tiling, as this is what provides the true water barrier. The glossy surface also reflects light beautifully in a bathroom, helping to make even smaller spaces feel brighter and more spacious.

Your splashback is 1m², and each box covers 0.50m² and contains 44 tiles, so you would need a minimum of 2 boxes for this area. We recommend adding around 10% extra for cuts around sockets and edges, so purchasing 3 boxes would give you a comfortable working allowance and ensure you have spare tiles for any future touch-ups. With 88.89 tiles per m², there will be more individual cuts than with a larger format tile, so that extra buffer is well worth having.

The classic brick shape format of these tiles pairs very well with larger format plain or marble effect tiles, for example using them as a feature splashback against a larger tile on the rest of the wall. Because these tiles are not rectified, a standard grout joint of around 2-3mm is recommended to accommodate any slight natural variation in tile size and to achieve a neat, even finish. Choosing a contrasting grout colour such as a light grey can emphasise the brick pattern, while a white grout gives a clean, seamless look.
