Back to Specialty Tile Services

A tiled wall behind a vanity, a wainscot around a powder room or a textured feature wall in a living space brings a level of finish that paint cannot. It also protects walls that get splashed, scuffed or leaned on.

We install wall tile throughout homes in Arlington and Northern Virginia, in bathrooms and well beyond.

How We Get Walls Right

Walls are seldom flat or plumb, and tile makes that visible. We check the wall with a straightedge and correct it before tiling, especially for larger formats. Rows are set from a level line, not from the floor or ceiling.

Edges are where wall tile is judged. We plan how the tile ends at corners, door casings and where it meets painted wall, using bullnose, a metal profile or a mitered return.

Working With the Rest of the Room

Outlets and switches are extended to sit flush. Mirrors, lights and accessories are positioned against the tile layout so fixings land sensibly. For kitchens see kitchen backsplash installation, and for wet walls see shower tile installation.

FAQ

Wall Tile & Accent Wall Installation FAQs

Can tile be installed over painted drywall?

In dry areas, yes, if the paint is sound and is scuffed or primed for adhesion. Glossy or flaking paint needs more preparation. In wet areas, drywall is replaced with proper backer board.

How high should bathroom wainscot tile go?

Commonly 36 to 48 inches, or to the top of the vanity backsplash line. We set the height so it works with the window sill, switches and mirror rather than cutting across them.
