Collection: 2x8 Tile

The 2x8 tile format feels exactly perfect for some reason. It's longer than a traditional brick and narrower than a typical subway; it's at that sweet spot where your layouts feel more modern. The 2x8 tile is a great choice for modern shower walls, especially with a vertical layout where the thin rectangular shape lengthens small areas. For kitchen backsplashes, it’s a great option, as the slim subway format helps add movement when laid in imaginative designs. Our selection of 2x8 ceramic tiles essentially covers the entire color spectrum. And finally, we have a glass tile choice for those who want that extra luminous brilliance.

Tips for Installing 2x8 Tiles 

Make a layout plan initially. Before using adhesive, let your 2x8 subway tiles laid on the surface. It spares you from uncomfortable cuts and unexpected turns of events.

Begin in the middle. Work your way outward from the midway of your wall or floor. It prevents uneven cutting at the edges and maintains equilibrium throughout.

Always use spacers. With a thin tile like the 2x8, consistent grout lines are even more important. Spacers maintain a clean appearance.

Select the appropriate thinset. Glass and ceramic require different adhesives. Don't just buy anything is on the shelf; instead, find out what kind of tile you want.

Before you begin, consider your pattern. Are you going for a brick, herringbone, or vertical stack? Each one calls for a somewhat different method of laying and cutting. Know your pattern before you begin your installation.

Have a wet saw on hand. Clean cuts at corners and edges distinguish a professional finish from a do-it-yourself appearance. Avoid attempting to score and snap a 2x8 ceramic tile or glass tile.

When you're finished, seal your grout. Particularly in bathrooms and kitchens where spills and splashes occur daily, seal your grout. Even if your 2x8 tiles are nonporous, grout is. It takes minutes to seal it and keeps your grout looking fresh for years.
