facetiles

Facetiles are a type of decorative surface covering, typically made of ceramic, glass, or stone, characterized by their irregular or multifaceted surface. Unlike traditional smooth tiles, facetiles feature a design that breaks up light and creates visual depth and texture. This effect can range from subtle undulations to more pronounced geometric shapes. The term "facet" refers to the individual planes or surfaces that make up the tile's design, which reflect light differently, contributing to the overall aesthetic.

These tiles are often used in interior design for walls, backsplashes, and accent features. Their unique texture can add a sophisticated and dynamic element to a space. The play of light on the faceted surfaces can make a room feel more vibrant and visually interesting. Facetiles are available in a wide array of colors, materials, and sizes, allowing for diverse design applications. Installation is similar to that of standard tiles, though the irregular surfaces may require particular attention during grouting to ensure a uniform finish. The durability and maintenance requirements depend largely on the material used, with ceramic and porcelain options generally being very low maintenance.
