Copper Tiles in Home Decor

Anti-microbial, copper is an excellent kitchen surface. Available in various thicknesses or even reinforced with other materials, you can use copper tiles for almost any kitchen application. You can find copper tiles that are suitable for use as backsplashes, counter tops or ceilings. The tiles can be used over large areas or also as elegant accents.

A copper backsplash is the most popular use of these tiles but copper counter tops are gaining in appeal. A copper counter top is ideal for someone who wants the look of metal but doesn't want the more common stainless steel.

Copper is a softer metal and it does warp so for counter tops it is firmly attached to a wooden backing. Copper is prone to change to a darker brown over time. This colour change and any dents that develop are often considered part of the beauty of copper, but if given a protective coating the colour change can be avoided.

Copper ceilings are a very traditional application, know from centuries. Metal ceilings have charmed us for centuries. They remind us of lovely Victorian homes or old-fashioned general stores. Now available in a variety of patterns and sizes, copper ceiling tiles can add personality to many types of modern houses as well but preferable are to old houses.
