Rectangular, glazed ceramic coverings, readily available at a major home improvement retailer in a white finish, represent a popular choice for wall applications. These units, often three inches by six inches, offer a classic aesthetic frequently employed in kitchens and bathrooms. Their standardized dimensions and widespread availability facilitate ease of installation and replacement.
The enduring appeal of these coverings stems from their versatility, affordability, and ease of maintenance. Their bright, reflective surface can enhance the perceived size of a space and contribute to a clean, hygienic environment. Historically, their use in public transportation systems contributed to their name and cemented their reputation as a durable and practical material.
