Both our salt bricks and salt tiles show the same 8" x 4" face on the wall. The difference is depth: bricks are 2" thick, tiles are 1". That one inch changes weight, price, shipping and how the wall glows.

Choose bricks if…
- You are building a dedicated salt room or sauna wall and want a solid, substantial look.
- The salt will be stacked or set into a frame rather than mounted on a panel.
Choose tiles if…
- You want a backlit feature wall with the brightest glow.
- You are mounting salt on cement board or plywood panels and want to keep weight down.
- Shipping cost matters — tiles weigh less than half as much.
Pink or white?
Pink is the classic Himalayan look. White (light) salt tiles are rarer and give a clean, modern finish; many customers mix the two for a pattern.
