Salt Tiles & Bricks
Himalayan salt tiles for salt rooms, saunas and backlit walls
We cut, grade and polish salt tiles and bricks at source in the Khewra Salt Range and ship them worldwide. Every batch is dimension-checked and colour-sorted, so an installer opening carton number 400 gets the same tile as carton number one.
- Standard 8"×4"×2" bricks plus fully custom dimensions
- Grade A translucent stock reserved for backlit walls
- Bevelled, tumbled and polished edge finishes
- Pallet quantities through to 40 ft container loads
Standard salt tile sizes
These five run continuously and ship from stock. Any other dimension is cut to order at the same ±2 mm tolerance — send us a drawing and we will quote it.

Where salt tile cladding is used
Salt therapy rooms
Full wall cladding for halotherapy chambers, where the tile surface area supports the room's humidity and microclimate control.
Sauna & steam interiors
Heat-stable bricks used behind benches and heaters, releasing a soft mineral glow under sauna lighting.
Backlit feature walls
Grade A translucent tiles lit from behind with warm LED strips — the signature amber glow for hotel lobbies and spa receptions.
Salt caves & grottos
Structural bricks laid over a framed substrate to build immersive salt cave interiors and relaxation grottos.
Yoga & meditation studios
Partial accent walls that deliver the visual and ambient qualities of a salt room within a smaller footprint.
Retail & hospitality interiors
Reception desks, bar fronts and column wraps clad in salt tile for a distinctive natural-stone finish.
How a salt tile wall is installed
The sequence our contractor clients follow. We supply a written installation guide with every order.
- 01
Substrate preparation
Moisture-sealed backing board with a ventilated cavity where backlighting is planned.
- 02
Adhesive selection
Salt-compatible epoxy or specialised salt adhesive — never standard cement mortar, which draws moisture.
- 03
Coursing & laying
Lay from the base upward in running or stack bond, keeping joints tight to avoid light bleed.
- 04
Lighting integration
Warm-white LED strips at 2700–3000 K set 40–60 mm behind Grade A tiles for even diffusion.
- 05
Finishing & handover
Dry-brush the surface, seal exposed edges, and set room humidity below 60 % RH for longevity.
Salt tile questions from buyers
What is the most common salt tile size for a salt room?+
The 8"×4"×2" salt brick is the standard specification for salt room and sauna walls. It gives enough mass for thermal stability while remaining light enough for vertical adhesive installation. We also cut 8"×4"×1" for lighter accent walls and 8"×4"×4" structural bricks for freestanding salt cave partitions.
Can Himalayan salt tiles be backlit?+
Yes — but only Grade A translucent tiles produce an even glow. We inspect every backlit-grade slab on a lightbox before packing, so the batch you receive is colour and translucency matched. Standard wall tiles are denser and are intended for unlit cladding.
Do salt tiles work in a wet steam room?+
We do not recommend salt tile cladding in direct wet-steam environments. Salt is hygroscopic and will slowly dissolve under continuous condensation. Dry saunas, halotherapy rooms and controlled-humidity spa interiors are the correct applications.
What is your minimum order quantity for salt tiles?+
We supply from a single pallet for trial and sample orders through to full 20 ft and 40 ft container loads. Most salt room projects fall between 800 and 3,000 tiles depending on wall area, and we quote per project.
How are salt tiles packed for export?+
Tiles are foam-separated, shrink-wrapped in cartons and secured on heat-treated fumigated pallets that meet ISPM-15 requirements. We handle FOB Karachi or CIF to your destination port with full export documentation.
