Tile question - Daltile or AO 3x6' tile - to to finish around top
Comments (3)Thanks Bill. Now I have another question. So, just back from Lowes/Home Depot... Found the chair rail, but they didn't have the corner piece to finish the end of the chair rail. Argh. I asked the salespeople if this piece could be special ordered - they said they didn't think so and said that contractors are able to cut a corner piece out of a chair rail. I am having a hard time imagining how this would be done. Is it possible? Is it a good idea? Or should I just bite the bullet and go with a more expensive subway tile that has all the coordinating trim pieces that I need?...See MoreSilver shadow grout for 3x6 white subway tiles?

They look much like the floor in this picture. Thanks so much for the comments and help on this decision.

Comments (8)From what I've learned from Bill Vincent, sanded grout is used for larger grout lines and unsanded for smaller ones or very delicate tile. You might also consider epoxy grout for your kitchen, since it's indestructible, mold-resistant, and doesn't need sealing, although it costs a bit more and your tiler might upcharge a little for the installation. I'm about to tile mine myself and plan on using the same epoxy grout (Laticrete's Spectralock) that I used in the bathroom, which I'm loving for its smoothness and consistent color. Most folks seem to go with 1/16th for a 3x6 subway tile, although some use 1/8th (bluekitobsessed, yours actually look like 1/16th to me?). If you take a stroll through the John Bridge tile forum, you'll see all kinds of examples of the different spacings in grouted tile. Here's one at 1/8th. From what I have read by the experts, it's OK to use your existing kitchen drywall for a backsplash. As long as it's in decent condition, you don't have to replace it with hardibacker, which is meant for places like showers that get lots of serious water exposure. I'm sure Bill V will wander by soon and give you the real skinny from the pro's perspective. Enjoy! Here is a link that might be useful: John Bridge's tile forum...See MoreRelated Professionals
