A kitchen backsplash brings cabinets, countertops and wall finishes together. Vule Tile installs backsplashes in Burlington, Oakville, Toronto and the GTA, from simple subway layouts to mosaics and decorative tile patterns.
Plan the boundaries before choosing a pattern
Decide where the tile starts and ends: below upper cabinets, around a window, behind the range or all the way to a ceiling. Check the countertop and cabinet lines and discuss the treatment of exposed edges. A backsplash estimate should include the full tiled shape, not just the longest straight wall.
Outlets, switches and range hoods create cuts and coordination points. Any electrical changes should be handled by the appropriate professional. Confirm the final locations before tile installation begins.
Subway tile, mosaics and decorative designs
Subway tiles can be stacked, offset or arranged in a pattern. Mosaics and geometric tile need attention to sheet alignment and the way the pattern meets corners and boundaries. Grout colour can emphasize the joints or allow the tile surface to dominate.
See the geometric backsplash and subway tile around a kitchen window gallery details. Bring a sample or product link to your estimate so the tile size, thickness and finish can be considered.
Wall condition and finishing details
The existing wall needs to be suitable for the selected tile and setting materials. Old tile removal, loose paint, uneven surfaces or damaged drywall can change the preparation. Tell us what is currently on the wall and whether the countertop has already been installed.
Discuss edge trims, the joint at the countertop and cleaning requirements. Decorative tile can have surface or grout restrictions, so use the tile manufacturer’s instructions when choosing products and cleaning methods.
What affects a backsplash estimate
Wall area is one factor. Tile format, pattern complexity, outlet cuts, returns, window details, removal and wall repair also affect the work. A clear scope should identify who supplies the tile, grout and trims and whether preparation is included.

Can you install a backsplash after my countertops?
Share the cabinet and countertop schedule. Final surfaces and dimensions need to be settled so the backsplash can be measured and fitted to the intended layout.
Can I use the tile I have already bought?
Send the product details and available quantity. We need to confirm suitability, the planned layout and enough material for cuts and any variation.
Do you install herringbone or patterned backsplashes?
Vule Tile offers custom layouts. Show us the tile and pattern you want so the layout, cutting and finishing can be included in the estimate.
