What ceramic brick tile asks for
Ceramic is fired cooler than porcelain and is more porous. In a running bond each row is offset from the one below, so the joints stagger across the wall and the cuts at the ends of each row are decided early.
Around outlets, corners and countertop edges, the layout is settled before the first full tile goes up.
Planning a similar backsplash in ceramic brick tile
A long backsplash under shelves and cabinets is measured from the counter, the cabinets and the outlets. The surface is prepared first, edge cuts are planned, and the counter transitions are reviewed at the end.
