Design Ideas with Encaustic Tile: Creative Ways to Style Your Space

Make a Statement with an Encaustic Tile Floor

Tile rugs provide instant appeal in both residential and commercial settings- especially with encaustic floor tiles. Choose from graphic imprints to floral layouts to enhance your entranceways, kitchens, and lobbies where they can become a visual focal point.

Go Bold in a Small Encaustic Tile Bathroom

Patterns may make smaller bathrooms more lively and dynamic. An encaustic look tile in bold colors to bring a cozy feel to your powder room or shower enclosures that want to make a statement.

Mix & Match for a Custom Encaustic Tile Backsplash

Design a unique encaustic tile backsplash by combining tiles of the same pattern family or in shades of complementary colors—black and white, for example, or blue and white. This style can work beautifully with modern, coastal, and Mediterranean-style kitchens.

Frame Your Fireplace with Encaustic Look Tile

A fireplace is a great place for a little more personality. Consider surrounding it with encaustic tile for texture and color that will catch the eye—yes, even when the fire is not lit!

Try Tone-on-Tone with Encaustic Porcelain Tile

To create a soft and refined look, use soft-colored encaustic porcelain tile in shades of beige, white or sand. Install them in your living space to create a soothing, layered finish.

Create an Accent Wall with Encaustic Tiles

Designing a statement-making space? These tiles can be used to dress up a boutique, café or lobby for a beautifully patterned wall. Choose from spanish-inspired motifs to introduce an artisanal, storied element to your interiors while impressing every guest that enter your space. 

Installation Tips for Encaustic Tile 

• Ready the surface properly: Floor or walls must be dry, clean, and level before you start—that will ensure flat tiles.

• Plan ahead: Lay dry the tiles to visualize the pattern and to verify you don't have any tricky cuts, particularly for patterned tiles.

• Use the proper adhesive: For porcelain and ceramic tiles, a quality thin-set mortar can be used—refer to manufacturer instructions for best results.

• Evenly apply the adhesive: Thinset should be evenly spread with a notched trowel to achieve proper adhesion and eliminate lippage between the tiles.

• Work in small areas: This will keep the adhesive from drying too fast, allowing easier and more precise placement of the tiles.

• Make use of spacers for consistent grouting: Spacers keep your pattern straight and professional-looking while you are installing it.

• Eliminate excess adhesive immediately: Take thin-set off the tile's surfaces before setting to avoid staining and colored grout joints.

• Provide sufficient curing time: Allow the adhesive to fully cure prior to grouting—typically 24 hours, but follow the instructions on your product.

• Finish grouting and sealing the tiles, if necessary: Part of your porcelain encaustic tile should be sealed to protect it from moisture and staining, most notably in bathroom installations.

• Be careful: Tiles, especially ceramic, chip or crack when they are dropped—handle them gently to avoid breaking.
