Vertical Tile in a Casorso Road Powder Room

Narrow vertical tiles cover the end wall of this Kelowna powder room. Installation photos show how the crew fitted the staggered pattern up to the ceiling.

Laying out the feature wall

The powder room wall is narrow enough to see its entire tile pattern from the door. The pieces run vertically with staggered ends, so the horizontal joints fall at different heights. In the installation view the clips make those joints especially easy to follow. The edge facing the vanity shows how the field of tile ends at the painted side wall.

Finishing the top courses

In January the team set the lower portion, ordered another box of tile and returned to install the remaining rows. They left grout samples for the selection before grouting the wall at the end of the month. In the finished photograph the repeated vertical lines read as a single surface behind the toilet.
