For Celtic knot backsplash tiles with a geometric feel, this set mixes four square designs in equal numbers: the Framed Cross, Framed Lattice, Lattice Loop and Open Square Weave knots. Their square weaves and lattices give a woven, orderly field for a range wall or a sink wall.
Details
- Material: solid brass sheet about 1 mm thick, embossed by hand over a hand-punched ground
- Finish: aged bronze patina, sealed with wax
- Size: each tile is 10 x 10 cm (3.9 x 3.9 in)
- Depth: 6 mm, with a raised rim around each tile; the back is hollow and has a small hanger
- Comes as: mixed sets, with the 4 designs in equal numbers
- Handmade: each piece is embossed to order, so relief and patina vary slightly from the photos
Sizes and coverage
Choose a quantity from the Set menu. Each tile covers 0.01 m² (0.11 sq ft), with tiles butted together.
- 32 tiles: 0.32 m² (3.4 sq ft), e.g. 8 x 4 tiles = 80 x 40 cm; 8 of each design
- 48 tiles: 0.48 m² (5.2 sq ft), e.g. 8 x 6 tiles = 80 x 60 cm; 12 of each design
- 60 tiles: 0.60 m² (6.5 sq ft), e.g. 10 x 6 tiles = 100 x 60 cm; 15 of each design
The tiles cannot be cut, so plan the layout around whole tiles. A row of ten tiles runs 100 cm (39.4 in).
Where to use it
- A band behind a range or along the sink wall
- A small backsplash behind a coffee station or bar
- Facing a kitchen island or the front of a breakfast bar
- A border row inside a larger field of plain tile
- An entryway wall above a console table
Installing and care
Fill the hollow backs with tile adhesive and set the tiles on a flat, clean wall as you would ceramic tile, finishing with grout or caulk. Any tile can instead hang alone from its back hanger. Behind a cooktop, leave the clearance your cooktop maker asks for. Tiles cannot be cut, so work out the layout in whole tiles first. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and dry it off; scouring pads and harsh cleaners will wear through the patina.
