Do I Need Trim?
This is one of the things most often overlooked when clients order tile. It's easy to realize you may want trim in some places - like to frame around a decorative insert over your stove - but other places you may not notice until you've nearly finished installing.
So where do you need trim that is easy to miss?
Check for anywhere your backsplash or tile ends but the drywall continues.
You'll want to make sure to have something running along this edge to make it look finished. Some installers may recommend a metal edge trim from Schluter Systems.
Personally, we love the custom look of trim made in the same color as the rest of your backsplash - if you're ordering tile with us, the trim we'd recommend for this application is called Lewis Quarter Round.

Does Your Tile Come Grouted?
No. If you ordered decorative tiles as a sample, those likely would have come with grout already applied - we do this because we feel it gives you a better idea of what the tile looks like installed.
If you order tile for installation, those will all come UNgrouted. Then you/your installer would apply the grout of your choice just like with any tile installation.
How Do I Place My Order?
You can place your order on our website, or you can place it over the phone with us if you prefer. Either way, we'll send you an order confirmation and estimated lead time.
