Wall Tile: Where Function Meets Design
Wall tile plays a dual role in interior and exterior design—it protects surfaces while also serving as a powerful visual element. At Daltile Outlet, we offer a rotating selection of high-quality wall tile at outlet pricing, including surplus, discontinued, and hard-to-find styles. Many of these products are manufactured by Daltile, giving customers access to premium materials without traditional showroom pricing.
From kitchens and bathrooms to feature walls and commercial spaces, wall tile provides durability, moisture resistance, and nearly endless design flexibility.
Why Wall Tile Is a Smart Design Investment
Wall tile has evolved far beyond simple white subway tile. Today’s options range from bold textures to minimalist large-format panels.

Where Wall Tile Works Best

Why Outlet Wall Tile Offers Exceptional Value
Outlet wall tile is typically discounted due to:
- Collection refreshes
- Overproduction from large projects
- Packaging or pallet quantity changes
- Discontinued colorways or finishes
These factors reduce cost—not quality—allowing buyers to access premium wall tile materials at a reduced price point.
Tips for Choosing the Right Wall Tile
1. Match Tile to Application
Not all wall tile is rated for wet environments. Always verify suitability for showers or steam exposure.
2. Consider Tile Size & Scale
Large-format tiles create a clean, modern look, while smaller tiles add texture and detail.
3. Plan Layout in Advance
Tile orientation—horizontal, vertical, or stacked—dramatically impacts the final appearance.
4. Buy Extra Tile
Because outlet inventory is limited, purchasing 10–15% extra is strongly recommended.
Installation & Maintenance Considerations
Installation Best Practices
- Ensure walls are flat and properly waterproofed
- Use appropriate thinset for tile material
- Allow proper curing time before grouting
Maintenance Tips
- Clean with non-abrasive, pH-neutral cleaners
- Seal natural stone wall tile periodicall
- Avoid harsh chemicals that may dull finishes
With proper installation and care, wall tile can last decades with minimal upkeep.
