Wall Tile Installation — Vancouver & Lower Mainland
Precision wall tiling for kitchens, showers, fireplaces, feature walls, and commercial interiors. We handle substrate prep, waterproofing, layout, setting, grouting, sealing, and trims — so your walls stay straight, clean, and easy to maintain across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, the North Shore, and Tri-Cities.
Why Choose Wall Tile
Wall tile outlasts paint and panels, resists moisture and stains, and elevates design from entry to ensuite.
- Moisture control: proper backers + membranes protect behind the tile.
- Low maintenance: glazed faces wipe clean; sealed grout resists discolouration.
- Design range: subway, stacked, herringbone, chevron, mosaics, large-format.
- Longevity: correct detailing means fewer callbacks and better value.

- Homeowners: backsplashes, showers, fireplaces, laundry & mudrooms.
- Strata & Builders: lobbies, corridors, amenities.
- Hospitality & Retail: brand walls, dining rooms, washrooms.

Wall Tile Installation — FAQs
Do you waterproof behind wall tile?
Yes — we install continuous membranes in wet areas with reinforced corners and sealed penetrations where required.
Can you install large-format tile on walls?
Absolutely. We flatten substrates, plan coursing, and use the correct mortars/coverage to keep large-format walls true and secure.
How do you keep grout from staining?
We use compatible, high-quality grout, seal after cure where appropriate, and can colour-seal older grout for uniform tone and protection.
Typical timelines?
Backsplashes are typically 1–2 days. Showers can take longer due to waterproofing and cure times. We provide a written schedule.
Do you offer after-hours work?
Yes — nights/weekends are available for restaurants, clinics, gyms and retail environments when needed.
