Here’S How A Tile Backsplash Protects Your Bathroom Walls

Backsplashes are one trend currently on the rise. Not only are new beautiful backsplash styles emerging, but also people are remembering once again just how much these tiles protect the walls in the bathroom.

Originally, backsplash tile was designed to protect walls from moisture, splashes, dings, chemicals, and cleaners since these things can damage drywall, discolor paint, or wear off the paint entirely. Today’s backsplash tile protects plus adds an element of style that enhances the bathroom!

From easier cleaning to added protection, you’ll get all of these benefits whether you choose natural stone, ceramic, porcelain, or glass tile. Here are a few of our favorite bathroom backsplash tiles that’ll keep your walls in great condition for years to come!
