    Hello,
    Thank you for your compliment:)
    The tile is OXO by Porcelanosa, below is the link. It is ceramic tile 12" x 35"

    Hi! I love the backsplash also! I'm debating getting this one for my kitchen, or another one by Pocelanosa (they have so many great/unique options). Just a few questions...

    1. Are these the lightweight Porcelain tiles? If so, how was it installing them?

    2. How are they holding up after xx time? Easy to clean? Stains?

    3. Any negatives about this tile that you could share?

    thank you Jenn

    Hello!

    Thank you for your comments:)

    This is a fairly large tile, so due to size would not fall into the "lightweight" category:)

    Also due to size its important that your walls are pretty flat, it will make the installation easier. I certainly would always recommend using a tile installation professional.

    As far as how are they holding up it's a porcelain tile ti will look great for a long time.

    Cleaning is simple, but since it is a textured tile and not flat you can expect slightly more dirt and grease to catch onto the tile, so that may require a wipe down more often than a flat tile. Certainly the beauty is worth the extra effort if you ask me:)

    I hope this helps!

    Happy New year!

    Thanks for your reply! I was told by a tile store that these are considered lightweight, so i'm not sure in comparison to other 12 x 36 ;)

    Since these tiles are white, did you go with white grout also? If so, are you finding it to get more dirty faster? Do these tiles have a pearlescent finish on them as well? (some other ones from this manufacturer do, so I wasn't sure). Or is it just glossy white?

    Sorry for all the questions, just nice to ask someone that has them! :) Thanks, Jenn

    Thank you! If you do happen to get some information from the homeowner about the maintenance of those tiles (especially if they were done with white grout) that would be great if you could pass that on! Thanks again! :)
