Backsplashes, showers, and feature walls

Backsplashes, showers, and feature walls

Wall tile is where craftsmanship is easiest to spot. Cuts at outlets, ends against cabinets, and grout lines at the ceiling all sit at eye level. Volunteer Flooring & Design installs wall tile in Knoxville for kitchen backsplashes, shower surrounds, bathroom walls, and fireplace surrounds.

If you are updating a kitchen or bath, ask us about the rest of the room too. We do cabinetry, stone countertops, and remodeling work, so your tile can fit a bigger plan.

Where wall tile changes a room

Where wall tile changes a room

A good wall tile is one of the most affordable ways to make a space feel custom.

  • Kitchen backsplashes - protect walls and finish the design
  • Shower and tub surrounds - waterproof and easy to clean
  • Powder room feature walls - drama in a small space
  • Fireplace surrounds - tile suited to heat
  • Laundry and mudroom splash areas - protects drywall from water
How we get it right

How we get it right

We check the wall for plumb and flatness first, then dry-lay the pattern so the cuts land in balanced places. Showers get a proper waterproofing system behind the tile, and niches are waterproofed before tile goes up.

Wall Tiles - frequently asked questions

It depends on tile choice and square footage, and typically lands in the low thousands for a standard kitchen. We give you a firm number in writing after we see the space.

Yes. Every shower we tile gets a proper waterproofing system, sloped base, and sealed pan. We do not tile showers without it.

In dry areas like a backsplash, usually yes. In showers and wet walls, we use a proper backer instead.

We bring grout samples so you can choose. Many people pick a tone that blends in, while contrast grout is popular with subway tile. See finished work in the gallery.
