Penny round tiles are an affordable and popular way to add character to any space. They come in a variety of colours and can be installed in a number of ways to create unique patterns.
What are Penny Round Tiles and Where Can You Use Them?
Also known as penny tiles, or penny tile flooring, penny round tiles are small, circular tiles that are made of either porcelain or ceramic. They are often used in flooring and wall designs and can be used in a variety of spaces, from kitchens to bathrooms.
Penny round tiles are available in a range of different sizes, from small penny tiles (3cm diameter) to larger penny tiles (5cm diameter). They are ideal for accent walls, backsplashes and can be installed as decorative flooring.
Penny round tiles are made in several different finishes including glossy penny tiles, matte penny tiles, metallic penny tiles, and textured penny tiles. This means that penny round tiles are an ideal choice to use as wall tiling for kitchens because they can be chosen according to the style of kitchen decor or chosen according to the existing decor in the room.
Some penny round tiles are also fire-proof, making them great choices for kitchen backsplashes while still being decorative.

Tips for Maintaining Penny Round Tiles Over Time
Once your penny round tiles are installed, there are a few things you can do to help keep them looking their best over time:
- Always use a soft cloth and warm water when cleaning penny round tiles. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which could damage the surface of the tile.
- If any dirt or grime builds up on the penny rounds, use a gentle scrubbing brush to clean it off. Be careful not to scrub too hard, or you could damage the surface of the tile.
- To prevent staining, seal the penny round tiles with a quality sealer once they are installed. This will help protect them from liquids that could otherwise seep through the penny round tile joints and cause staining.
- Seal penny rounds with an impregnating sealer every couple of years to keep them looking like new. However, you can apply a sealer at any time if you want to protect penny tiles from damage by oil, grease, or other harsh chemicals.
