If you wonder whether backsplash tile can be used on floors, the answer is it depends on the type of tile you use. With options like porcelain and glass tile, there are some things you will want to consider, so read along to find out more.

Are you planning a tile backsplash?


Both natural stone tile and porcelain tile are often used in tile backsplash creations, and either of these is perfect to use on your floors. Not only do they offer an excellent match between backsplash and flooring, but they also hold up well under heavy traffic and have lifespans that range from 50 to 100 years or more.

If glass tile is your plan for a backsplash, the materials can still be used in your flooring design but with limited capabilities. Since these pieces are apt to scratch under heavy traffic, they can be best used in highlighting your floor’s design or used as accent pieces along edges where traffic is not as frequent.

When in doubt, be sure to ask your associate about cross-use tile and which ones are rated for use in both areas. Then, we can make sure you are not disappointed with your options.
