Wholesale Himalayan Salt Tiles For Sale


Our tiles are 8 × 4 in in 0.75 in (2 lb) and 1 in (about 2.5 lb) thicknesses. At roughly 9 to 11 lb per square foot, they load a wall far less than 2 in bricks (about 25 lb), which makes them the practical choice for backlit panels and cladding.

Introduction

Himalayan salt tiles in two thicknesses, 8 × 4 × 0.75 in and 8 × 4 × 1 in, cut flat from Khewra rock salt. At 9 to 11 lb per sq ft, they are the light option for backlit panels, cladding, and walls whose backing cannot take much load. Buy a few tiles to test your lighting, or order wholesale quantities for a full wall.

0.75 in or 1 in: which is best?

0.75 in tile 1 in tile
Weight per tile 2.0 lb about 2.5 lb
Wall weight 9.0 lb per sq ft 11.25 lb per sq ft
Light through the salt More, all else equal Less, all else equal
Choose it when the wall is backlit, or weight is the limit you want a deeper face and more body in the piece

Thickness is only one factor in the glow. Veining, colour, and the LED you use matter as much, so bond four or five tiles on a test panel, light them from behind and judge before you commit to the wall.

How many tiles do I need?

Wall area in square feet × 4.5, plus 10% for cuts, rounded up. Thin salt needs careful handling, so order 15–20% extra for small walls or walls with many cuts.

Backlit walls

Use a clear adhesive made for salt, low heat LED strips, and an electrician for the wiring. Salt and moisture corrode metal over time, so keep electrical parts and metal fixings protected and leave access behind the wall. Our step-by-step install guide covers the build order.

Tiles, bricks or blocks?

Where they can go

Dry indoor rooms only. Keep tiles out of showers, steam rooms, and outdoor walls. For a dry sauna, keep them clear of the heater’s clearance zone and direct steam, and message us your sauna and heater type before you order. Rock salt cuts and drills with standard tools; wet cutting works. Wear eye and dust protection.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Himalayan salt tiles and salt bricks?

Tiles are 0.75 in or 1 in thick, so a tile wall weighs about 9 to 11 lb per sq ft. Bricks are 2 in thick, and a brick wall weighs about 25 lb per sq ft. Both have the same 8 × 4 in face and the same 4.5 pieces per sq ft.

How many salt tiles do I need per square foot?

4.5. Each tile covers 0.22 sq ft, so a 50 sq ft wall needs 225 tiles, or 248 with 10% extra.

Which salt tile thickness is best for a backlit wall?

0.75 in lets more light through, all else equal, and 1 in gives a deeper face. Test a few tiles with your LEDs before you buy for the whole wall.

What adhesive do I use on salt tiles?

A clear adhesive made for salt, such as our salt adhesive. One 300 ml cartridge joins about 30 to 33 tiles. Fix tiles to a clean, dry, sound backing and let the adhesive cure before the wall sees moisture or lighting heat.

Can I use salt tiles in a sauna or bathroom?

Only in a dry sauna, clear of the heater and steam. Steam and splashes dissolve the surface, so we do not recommend showers or wet bathroom walls.

Can salt tiles be cut?

Yes. Wet cutting and drilling work. Wear eye and dust protection and place cut edges where they will not show.

Do you sell wholesale salt tiles?

Yes. Both thicknesses are available in bulk for contractors, spas, wellness centers, sauna builders, designers, and distributors. Message us your quantity and project details for pricing and availability.
