Yep, you’re reading that right, there is a tile style that’s been affectionately named after a famous chocolate bar that urges us to take a break. It’s easy to see why, because they do undeniably resemble a Kit-Kat don’t they?

So what are the benefits of this tile type and what styles are available? Well let’s take a look shall we…

What Are Kit Kat Tiles?

Kit-Kat tiles (often also referred to as ‘finger’ tiles or ‘mosaic finger tiles’ are a range of wall and floor tiles that resemble a kit-kat chocolate bar with slim rectangular shapes lined up next to one another in a line. The tiles give the impression that you’ve used multiple individual tiles to create the stylish effect on your wall, but in fact, these tiles are usually pre-scored to give the appearance of multiple tiles, when in fact they’re just one tile.

For example, our Alba range of kit-kat tiles feature 8 ‘tiles’ all fixed to a flexible mesh panel to keep them together, making them much easier to lay. You’ll find different tile sizes across the market which offer more or less individual rectangular ‘tiles’ on each kit-kat tile too. For example, a 30cm x 30cm tile could feature what looks like 16 tiles on the tile, but on another tile design, it could feature 24 ‘tiles’ within the same tile footprint due to a smaller rectangular kit-kat tile design. The one you opt for depends on how big you want the ‘individual tiles’ to look within your kit-kat mosaic wall.

What Are The Benefits Of Pre-Scored Tiles?

Pre-scored tiles give you the illusion that you’ve laid more tiles than you actually have. As such, they simplify and speed up the installation process whilst still giving you the same result you’d have when physically installing more individual tiles. As the tiles have been pre-scored by the manufacturer too, they’ll ensure a uniform finish, providing your tiled wall or floor with a consistent and aesthetically pleasing design.

Why Choose Kit-Kat Tiles For Your Home?

Kit-Kat tiles are a great choice for any home or even for commercial settings such as bars and restaurants. They provide a striking, modern day aesthetic and with the various finishes and colours available, they’re a versatile choice too. Plus, these slimline tiles can be laid vertically, horizontally or even diagonally if you’re feeling playful, offering an impactful, stylish effect either way.

Gloss kit-kat tiles can make rooms feel larger than they are with their reflective surface, plus they’re really easy to clean, whilst kit-kat tiles with a matt finish can make a room feel more relaxing and they have non-slip properties too, making them perfect for floors and bathrooms.

Ceramic kit-kat tiles offer a wide range of colours and designs, plus they’re a durable and low maintenance option that also offers stain resistant properties, making them ideal for kitchens. There’s a wide range of colours and styles to choose from when it comes to porcelain kit-kat tiles too, but porcelain provides moisture resistant and non-porous properties, meaning they don’t absorb water and as such, are a great choice for bathrooms.

Kit-Kat tiles are also available in other materials such as terracotta and marble. So if you’re looking to introduce earthy, rich tones into your home, terracotta tiles may well be a great choice, whilst marble tiles are sure to bring timeless, luxurious elegance to whichever room you install them.

Not only are these contemporary tiles available in a variety of materials, styles and colours, but as touched upon earlier, they’re even easier to lay too. As there’s multiple tiles attached to a mesh panel, you’re covering a larger surface area with each kit-kat tile laid. This speeds up the process and makes them an ideal choice if time is short (as it is for so many of us).

What Rooms Are Kit-Kat Tiles Most Suitable For?

When it comes to most tiles, they can actually be laid wherever you desire, after all, what you think looks good will be different to what others think and that’s the beauty of having plenty of tile styles to choose from.

However it’s important to consider the material and finish of the tile to ensure the tile is most suitable to the room it’ll be installed in and that you look to use tiles with anti-slip properties on your floors. For example, porcelain tiles are generally more suitable for ‘wet’ areas such as bathrooms due to their non-porous nature, however gloss finish ceramic tiles are certainly a great alternative as the glazed finish makes them less porous than other ceramic tile finish alternatives.

Kit-Kat tiles can certainly provide your bathroom with a bold and striking aesthetic, especially when you experiment with contrasting grout colours too. For example, pairing our Alba Blue kit-kat tiles with a striking white grout can really help to make the blue colours pop and emphasise the kit-kat shape even more. Whether you lay the tiles vertically or horizontally, they look fantastic either as part of a splashback, within your shower or as part of a full bathroom wall fit out.

Kit-Kat tiles can also help you to achieve a modern tip of the hat to the timeless subway/metro tile styles that have been a popular choice for kitchen designs for over a century. Especially when you once again combine the tile with a contrasting grout colour. Our Alba White ceramic kit-kat tiles when combined with a black or dark grey grout can help you to achieve this contemporary, yet timeless look. But no matter what colour tile you opt for and however you lay the tile, kit-kat tiles are a great choice for kitchen backsplashes, entire feature walls or wherever you’d like to install them in your kitchen.

They’re also a great choice for hallways if you’re looking to use tiles as an alternative to paint or wallpaper as they can make your hallway feel taller when laid vertically and feel wider when installed horizontally. Plus don’t be afraid to experiment, by either mixing and matching matt and gloss finish tiles, taking advantage of the vast number of different coloured grouts available and considering laying the tiles in different or even contrasting patterns.

Take A Break From The Conventional

So if you’re looking to redecorate your bathroom, kitchen or home in general, why not opt for the contemporary look that kit-kat tiles can provide?
