Daltile Brickwork Studio

Brickwork Studio, 2" x 8", is the classic backsplash proportion, and it is forgiving. Run it straight, stack it, or offset it by a third and the room reads differently each time. A matte surface stays reasonably grippy wet and will not throw glare across the room. The density is the point with porcelain: very little water gets in, which is what keeps it stable in a bathroom or a laundry. Both the Mississauga and Barrie stores keep it out, so you can put it beside your cabinet door or a paint chip before you commit.
