Installation Guidelines
Professional installation ensures long-lasting beauty and performance of your vertical tile project
Preparation Essentials
-
Surface Preparation
Ensure walls are perfectly level, clean, and dry. Any irregularities will be more visible with vertical installation.
-
Quality Adhesive
Use adhesive specifically rated for vertical applications, especially for larger format tiles.
-
Layout Planning
Calculate pattern repeats carefully to avoid awkward cuts around fixtures and outlets.
Installation Tips
-
Start from Center
Begin installation from the center and work outward for balanced visual symmetry.
-
Consistent Spacing
Use tile spacers to maintain uniform grout lines throughout the installation.
-
Proper Support
Larger tiles may require temporary support during adhesive curing to prevent slipping.
Professional Installation Recommended
Vertical tile installation requires more attention to detail than horizontal layouts. For best results, especially with premium materials and larger formats, we recommend hiring experienced tile installers.
Proper installation ensures your tiles remain securely adhered, maintain consistent grout lines, and deliver the stunning visual impact you desire for years to come.

Design Pro Tip
Don't feel limited to one orientation! Many designers create stunning effects by mixing both vertical and horizontal tile arrangements in the same space.
For example, use vertical tiles on the main shower wall for height, then switch to horizontal on adjacent walls for balance. Or create a feature wall with vertical tiles while keeping the rest of the room horizontal for visual interest.

Regular Cleaning

- Clean metal tiles with appropriate metal cleaners
Protection
- Seal natural stone tiles annually
- Seal grout lines to prevent staining
- Use squeegee in showers after each use
Avoid
- Acidic cleaners on marble and natural stone

- Harsh chemicals that damage grout
Material-Specific Care Tips
Marble Tiles
Reseal annually. Blot spills immediately, especially acids like lemon juice or vinegar. Use only pH-neutral stone cleaners.
Glass Tiles
Clean with glass cleaner or vinegar solution. Buff dry to prevent water spots. Check grout integrity periodically.
Metal Tiles
Use stainless steel cleaner or appropriate metal polish. Wipe in direction of grain for brushed finishes. Dry thoroughly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about vertical tiles
Do vertical tiles make a room look bigger?
Yes! Vertical tiles draw the eye upward, creating an illusion of height and making ceilings appear taller. This is especially beneficial in smaller rooms or spaces with low ceilings.
Are vertical tiles harder to install than horizontal?
Vertical installation requires more precision and attention to detail, especially regarding proper adhesive application and support during curing. For best results, we recommend professional installation, particularly for larger format tiles.
What is the best size vertical tile for a shower?
For showers, larger format tiles like 23×148mm or 23×300mm are popular as they reduce grout lines and create a cleaner look. The 15×98mm finger tiles are also excellent for creating a classic spa-like appearance.
Can I mix vertical and horizontal tiles in the same space?
Absolutely! Mixing orientations can create stunning visual interest. For example, use vertical tiles on a feature wall and horizontal on adjacent walls, or create a pattern by alternating orientations in specific sections.
What grout color works best with vertical tiles?
Contrasting grout emphasizes the vertical pattern and adds drama, while matching grout creates a seamless, continuous look. Light grout with dark tiles or vice versa creates strong visual impact, while tone-on-tone is more subtle and elegant.
Are metal tiles suitable for wet areas?
Yes! Stainless steel and certain treated metals are excellent for wet areas like showers and backsplashes. They're non-porous, easy to clean, and highly resistant to moisture and corrosion when properly installed.
