The service
The material guide explains tile. This page plans the application.
A backsplash, bathroom wall or tiled floor is shaped by more than the selected colour. Format, pattern, starting points, cuts, grout, edges and the relationship to fixed finishes determine how the installation reads.
Courneya Flooring can coordinate tile applications within the appropriate project scope without treating every wall, shower or preparation condition as identical.
What is considered
Where tile becomes part of the architecture
Application and site conditions determine the exact product and installation requirements.
Bathroom walls
Use format, finish and grout to connect vanities, fixtures, floor tile and wall surfaces.
Shower applications
Where appropriate to the project, review tile selection and layout around the application requirements without assuming a specific system.
Floor tile
Plan substrate, layout, transitions, grout and slip characteristics for the room and product.
Format & pattern
Tile scale, orientation, repeats and focal points affect cuts and overall visual calm.
Edges & transitions
Termination details and connections to other materials need to be resolved before installation.
A considered sequence
Compose the surface before it is installed.
The tile, the room and the fixed finishes are reviewed together.
Select
Choose an appropriate tile direction for the application, maintenance and design intent.
Coordinate
Compare the tile with cabinetry, counters, fixtures, paint and adjoining flooring.
Lay out
Resolve orientation, starting points, pattern, focal areas, edges and grout direction.
Install
Confirm application-specific preparation and complete the agreed tile scope.
Clarity before work begins
Details that change the final surface
Tile can be quiet or expressive. The installation plan determines whether the material feels intentional within the room.
- Tile size and orientation
- Grout colour and width
- Cabinet and countertop lines
- Outlets and penetrations
- Edge and termination details
- Transitions to other flooring

Questions before the project
Clear answers, defined scope.
Does Courneya Flooring install kitchen backsplashes?
Tile and backsplash work can be coordinated where it fits the project scope. The surface, tile, layout, preparation and surrounding finishes need to be reviewed.
Is wall tile different from floor tile?
Products are rated and manufactured for particular applications. A tile suitable for a wall is not automatically suitable for a floor, so the exact product guidance matters.
How is backsplash tile coordinated with countertops?
Compare undertones, movement, scale and contrast beside the actual counter and cabinetry. Grout colour and the location of pattern or joints also affect the relationship.
Can floor and wall tile be coordinated in a bathroom?
Yes. They may match, share a palette or deliberately contrast. Format, slip requirements, application ratings and the amount of visual pattern should guide the combination.
Is grout selection important?
Yes. Grout affects the appearance of each tile, the visibility of the pattern and maintenance expectations. Joint width and product selection also relate to the tile and application.
