Ceramic and Porcelain Tile selection

I'm having difficulty finding long, narrow ceramic tiles

QUESTION

Rectangular Tiles - I'm having great difficulty finding long, narrow caramic tiles 2-in x 8-in and 2-in x 12-in for a kitchen backsplash. Do these sizes exist?

ANSWER

ANSWER - There are rectangular ceramic, glass and stone tiles that are available.  Check with Walker Zanger.  Ann Sacks has glass tiles in various lengths and widths.  Or you can cut the tiles out of a larger tile and stone the edges smooth.  Visit our website at www.CTaSC.com and look in Expert Answers under Resources for tile distributors, manufacturers and importers for links to their websites.  Good Luck!
