Split Face Tiles

Are you considering giving your walls some texture? For immediate depth, drama and style, split face tiles are the best option. These 3D effect tiles stand out in any room. Before you style it out, our split face tile FAQs explains everything you need to know about using this type of tile.

 

What are split face tiles?

Split face tiles are textured wall tiles that bring serious visual impact. Designed to mimic the rugged charm of natural stacked stone, these tiles feature strips cut to different depths and sizes for a striking 3D effect. While classic versions use real stone, most of our range is made from porcelain or ceramic, offering all the style with less hassle. Perfect for feature walls and fireplaces, split face tiles add depth and drama wherever they're placed.

 

What kinds of interiors do split face tiles work well in?

Split face wall tiles are a great fit for all kinds of interiors thanks to their textured surfaces and range of colours. They’re ideal rustic or industrial spaces, adding a layered feel to walls. Soft greys and stone effect finishes suit Scandinavian or minimalist designs perfectly, while deeper blacks and warm earthy tones make a strong impact in more urban-influenced settings. For a natural feel, try mixed stone or beige shades. If you want something more polished and bold, charcoal or white marble effect tiles make a stylish statement.

 

Can you use split face tiles in a shower?

Real split face stone tiles aren’t ideal for use inside a shower. They are tricky to seal properly, can’t be grouted and the tiny gaps between pieces can let water in. However, there is good news; split face effect tiles, like those made from ceramic and porcelain, give you the same textured look without the worries about moisture. These tiles are water-resistant, easier to clean and much more practical for wet areas. So, yes, if you're using the right materials, you can enjoy the striking style of split face tiles in your shower.
