Wall Tiles

Hello, neighbor

Wall tile that looks designed, not installed

Backsplashes, shower surrounds, and feature walls - hand-cut wall tile installed by Southeast Michigan's most-requested tile setters.

Backsplashes, showers, and feature walls

Wall tile is where a tile setter's skill is most visible. Cuts at outlets, end-pieces against cabinets, miters at corners, and grout lines at the ceiling all read at eye level - there's nowhere to hide a sloppy job. FSM | Flooring & Interiors brings backsplash and shower tile samples straight to your Southeast Michigan kitchen or bathroom so you can see them under your actual cabinets and countertops, and our own crew installs kitchen backsplashes, shower surrounds, full bath wet walls, fireplace surrounds, and accent feature walls.

We carry subway tile, large-format porcelain slabs from Daltile and MSI, marble and travertine, and glass mosaics - including the textured 3D tile that's everywhere right now in primary bathrooms.

Where wall tile changes a room

A well-chosen wall tile is the cheapest way to make a room look custom-built. Most projects finish in 2-3 days for less than the cost of new cabinets or counters.

  • Kitchen backsplashes - protects walls from grease and water, reads as a finished design element
  • Shower and tub surrounds - waterproof, easy to clean, lasts as long as the house
  • Powder room feature walls - high-impact look that doesn't require remodeling
  • Fireplace surrounds - heat-safe tile in stone or concrete looks
  • Laundry and mudroom splash walls - protects drywall from water and dirt

How we install wall tile right

We start by checking the wall for plumb and flat - a 1/8" bow over 4 feet means tile will telegraph the wave. We add backer board or skim-coat as needed, then dry-lay the pattern to confirm cuts land in symmetrical places (centered over the range, balanced at corners).

Showers get a full waterproofing membrane behind the tile, niches are framed and waterproofed before tile goes up, and every cut at an outlet or fixture is hand-trimmed to fit snugly behind the cover plate. We finish with sealed grout (or epoxy on showers) and a final wipe-down. Doing a full bathroom remodel? Pair your wall tile with new tile flooring and ask about our financing options.

Wall Tiles - frequently asked questions

Most Southeast Michigan kitchen backsplashes run $1,200 to $2,800 installed, depending on tile selection and square footage. We provide a flat, all-in quote during the free in-home estimate.

Yes - every shower we install includes a full Schluter Kerdi or RedGard waterproofing system behind the tile, properly sloped pre-pitch, and a sealed pan. We don't install shower tile without it.

For dry-area backsplashes (away from sinks), yes. For shower surrounds and wet walls, we always strip the drywall and install cement backer board or a foam tile-backer system.

We bring grout samples to your in-home estimate and let you pick the color before installation day. Most homes choose a tone-on-tone grout that fades the lines, but contrast grout is back in style for subway tile - see our tile flooring page for matching floor options.
