Floor Tile Upstands

I have asked a similar question in the tiling section so sorry for repeating it here.

Floor tile upstands.

Basically all of them are designed to protect your walls from kitchen splashes. I am fitting my new kitchen soon and going to be tiling the bit between the worktop and wall units. I have just had my kitchen floor tiled and the the upstands which are just a tile cut in half have been affixed to the wall but rest on the floor tile. Feast your eyes on these gorgeous glass splashbacks and upstands from original style.

If you work symmetrically and the edge tiles are all under 400mm by definition you have your full 150mm skirting from the offcuts with a manufactured edge and without buying any more since by definition there is almost exactly the same length of skirting as floor edge. 10mm upstands and quartz behind the hob as a big upstand too. Upstands tiles or splashback. The most important component in your new bathroom.

I ve had the same dilemma recently. What you choose really comes down to personal preference and the type of look you re trying to achieve. It s beautiful imo w clean lines. Have a look at some of my photosets which may give you some inspiration.

I think the cut tiles into strips thing will use more tiles not less. Everyone seems to compliment the tiles. Not sure what to go for in your new kitchen design. Thought about doing just a panel of tiles behind the cooker but think it will look better extended out each side.

Having said all this i think your budget is unrealistic. Essentially splashbacks are large format glass tiles usually placed behind a sink bath or cooker anywhere that splashes are likely. I d suggest upstands skirting tiles around the rest of the bathroom then you can add some nice colour to your bathroom your painted bath will be a lovely feature. Upstands are used to prevent thermal bridging at the edge of the floor where it meets the wall.

I went for a glass metro tile. Hi all i m shortly tiling a bathroom with a big busy tile rather than tile all the walls i thought less is more and that i d just tile one complete wall and the double vanity unit area i ve seen the look in some very expensive octagon show homes and it s very effective and cheaper. Doesn t there have to be a gap and if so what should it be sealed with. A thermal bridge is a weak spot in the insulation where heat can be gained.
