Pretty please Paula Re: Big size tiles splashback 300X600 for kitchen: ugly? 33Jul 20, 2008 10:37 am Bit late for the OP but we did this just recently with 600x300mm tiles laid vertically. Worked out okay we think. The grout lines are 1.5 mm but we should have used coloured grout.
We made a mistake though and don't quite know what to do about it. We originally thought the rangehood would be at 600mm high but because it's a gas cooktop it has to be a minimum 650mm/max 700mm. We put it at 700mm (better height anyway) which leaves us a 100mm gap between the hood and the tiles. Don't want to use the same tiles cut to that size. We thought of trying to match the granite as closely as possible with 100 x 100 or 100 x 50 tiles but are going off that idea. Current thinking is to use stainless steel tiles (100 x 10mm ) horizontally, or 100x100 stainless. Or use long stainless steel strips. Anybody have any thoughts on if that would work? The kitchen walls will probably end up in Dulux Stream.

Its too wide to put a stainless steel strip in, if something had to be done, I'd match what is already there but just at the range hood.

Back to original question, big tiles in our kitchen looks good, i love it. very neat. Glad you like your splashback. There are two kinds of rectified tiles. On has a bevelled edge the other is square. It sounds like your tiles have a bevelled edge, which once grouted results in a grout line that appears wider. Re: Big size tiles splashback 300X600 for kitchen: ugly? 37Jul 20, 2008 10:55 am Paula, guess we could leave it but we're more inclined to do 'something.' And preferably all the way across the wall and around the corner.
Kevin, hadn't thought of a utensils bar. That might work. Thanks. We have thought of putting stainless steel splashback behind the stove. Covers the tile but what the heck.

If you can afford the extra $$$ I reckon they would look super ceiling to floor on all walls. claego Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I saw these tiles in the display, love it and took photos... i am thinking to have the same... i think large tiles look great (although i don't have a photo in the kitchen with big tile, but i think it will looks fine) Re: Big size tiles splashback 300X600 for kitchen: ugly? 40Jul 21, 2008 10:29 am Ancient Mariner Anybody have any thoughts on if that would work?
