For a bathroom or kitchen that feels calm, light and easy to live with, Johnson Tiles Juniper glazed ceramic wall tiles offer a subtle stone-inspired finish without the upkeep associated with natural stone. Their gentle veining adds character without dominating the room, while the matt surface works particularly well with timber tones, understated brassware and modern bathroom fittings. Available in Bone Matt and Pumice Matt, Juniper is a practical option for splashbacks, bathroom walls and decorative features.
Stone-Effect Ceramic Wall Tiles for Kitchens and Bathrooms
The 450 x 250mm rectangular format makes these stone-effect ceramic wall tiles suitable for both compact rooms and larger wall areas. Laying the tiles horizontally can give a familiar, balanced finish; a vertical stacked layout can draw the eye upwards, particularly around a shower or basin. The pattern is deliberately restrained, so it can sit comfortably alongside bolder flooring or a feature vanity unit.
Bone Matt has a warmer, softer appearance that suits creams, beige and natural wood. Pumice Matt offers a cooler neutral look that complements greys and contemporary fittings. Because colours can appear different under showroom and bathroom lighting, consider checking a physical sample before committing to a large area.

Important: Juniper is a wall tile, not a floor tile. If you are designing a coordinated bathroom, choose separately specified porcelain wall and floor tiles for areas that need a floor-rated surface.
Where Can Juniper Ceramic Tiles Be Used?
Juniper's muted design is particularly well suited to family bathrooms, cloakrooms, kitchen splashbacks and utility room walls. The rectangular tiles can also be used to create a feature behind a bath or basin without overwhelming smaller spaces. For a contemporary scheme, a close-toned grout will make the surface look more continuous; a contrasting grout will draw attention to the tile pattern.
As with other ceramic wall tiles, suitability depends on the wall background and the installation system. In showers and other frequently wet areas, a suitable waterproofing or tanking system may be required behind the tiles. Tiles and grout should not be relied upon as the sole waterproof barrier.
How to Measure, Order and Prepare for Installation
Measure the width and height of each wall you intend to tile, subtracting any substantial untiled openings where appropriate. Divide the resulting area by the stated coverage of approximately 1.46m² per pack, then round up to full packs. Allow additional material for cuts, breakages and any future repairs; the right allowance depends on the shape of the room and the laying pattern.
Before fixing, plan the tile layout around corners, sockets, niches and sanitaryware. Confirm that the substrate is suitably stable, clean and prepared, and follow the relevant adhesive and grout manufacturers' instructions. You can browse tile adhesive, grout and tiling accessories when planning the materials needed for the complete job.

Frequently Asked Questions About Johnson Tiles Juniper
Are Johnson Tiles Juniper tiles suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes, Juniper is intended for internal wall tiling and is a suitable choice for bathroom walls and kitchen splashbacks where the underlying surface and fixing system are properly prepared. In shower areas, confirm any waterproofing requirements before installation.
Can I use Juniper ceramic wall tiles on the floor?
No. This product is listed as a glazed ceramic wall tile. For floors, choose a tile that is specifically designed and rated for floor use, taking any required slip performance into account.
How many 450 x 250mm Juniper tiles come in a pack?
The current product information lists 13 tiles per pack, covering approximately 1.46m² before allowing for cuts and waste. Check your total tiled area and round up to full packs.
What is the difference between Bone Matt and Pumice Matt?
Both are matt finishes with gentle stone-inspired detailing. Bone has a warmer neutral appearance, whereas Pumice has a cooler tone. The best choice depends on your room's light, furniture, grout colour and neighbouring surfaces.
Do I need to waterproof the wall before fitting Juniper tiles in a shower?
Where the installation is exposed to regular water, an appropriate waterproofing system may be required behind the tiled finish. Follow the relevant guidance for the substrate and shower construction rather than relying on tile glaze and grout alone.
