Each material offers distinct advantages in terms of appearance, maintenance, and suitability for different environments.
Are Kit Kat tiles suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?

However, for large areas or complex patterns, professional installation is recommended.
How do I clean and maintain Kit Kat tiles?
Kit Kat tiles are very low maintenance. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth or sponge and mild detergent is sufficient. For glass and metal tiles, a streak-free glass cleaner works well.

The smooth surface of Kit Kat tiles naturally resists dirt buildup, making them easy to keep looking new.
