Considering a resin coating for your kitchen tiles? Resin forms a stable, waterproof layer—making it an excellent choice for splashbacks and humid zones prone to moisture exposure.
How Resin Makes Kitchen Tiles Waterproof
When applied correctly, epoxy-based resins such as Vertical Glass create a seamless, waterproof seal over vertical surfaces. This hardens into a glossy, non-porous barrier that prevents water and stains from seeping through to the tiles beneath. As a result, kitchen walls—especially those behind sinks or hobs—gain an extra layer of defence against daily splashes and steam.
Selecting and Applying the Right Resin
It’s important to use a resin specifically made for vertical application so it adheres without dripping or self-levelling. Products like Vertical Glass are applied with a spatula, allowing you to control the thickness and overall look. For maximum protection, ensure tiles are dry and clean before application, and always follow the manufacturer’s mixing and curing instructions. Other options, such as Art Pro and Icrystal, offer durable, glossy finishes ideal for feature walls and decorative areas.
- Opt for a resin labelled as suitable for walls or tiles.
- Prepare surfaces by cleaning and degreasing thoroughly.
- Apply in thin, even coats for best adhesion and finish control.
When a Waterproof Resin Coating Matters Most
Choosing a resin coating is especially beneficial in kitchens where walls are exposed to frequent water contact—like splashbacks or near dishwashers. It not only protects against water but also simplifies cleaning by adding a washable, glossy surface.
