Video on tilemaking

Here’s a great video showing our tilemaking process.  Unalun tiles are all individually-made, hand carved in the old-world technique of sgraffito (“to scratch”).  They are perfect as wall art or kitchen/bath backsplashes.

Kitchen Backsplash

Unalun tile is ideally suited for backsplash applications.  Unalun tiles give your backsplash real “pop”.

In researching backsplash ideas on the web, we came across this advice from Tim, at Askthebuilder.com:

“It’s no surprise to me that you keep gravitating to ceramic tile for your backsplash. A tile backsplash will last for years, and will add beauty to your kitchen. I have installed ceramic tile at backsplash locations between the countertops and the underside of kitchen wall cabinets for years, and each homeowner was dazzled by the final appearance.  Ceramic tile makes sense when you are mulling over backsplash ideas because it is durable, easy to clean, colorful and can add texture to an otherwise dull, flat boring wall space. In recent years, there seems to have been an explosion of new tile colors, patterns, styles and textures, many of which are perfect for areas directly behind a kitchen sink and cooktop areas.”

Bathroom Backsplash Ideas

Unalun tile is ideally suited for backsplash applications.

Form over function rules in the case of bathroom backsplashes. Consider that a bathroom backsplash is largely aesthetic and you’ll see why picking beauty really matters.  Practically, a bathroom backsplash is used to protect vulnerable drywall from water splashes.  It is also useful in tying the countertop to the wall.  But once you’ve achieved these goals, anything goes!

There are endless possibilities of designs for your backsplash. Just contact the studio and speak to Natalie or Ellen.
