Backsplash
Backsplash Options
A backsplash is an important design element in any kitchen. Many attractive choices exist, whether it’s a functional backsplash material such as stainless steel or ceramic tile or a decorative option such as glass or marble. Before selecting a backsplash option for your home, it’s a good idea to research the potential products.
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic tile is the most popular option for a kitchen backsplash. Ceramic tiles are incredibly versatile—they come in many shapes, sizes, and colors and can be installed in numerous patterns.
Porcelain Tile
Porcelain tiles are made from compressed clay dust fired to high temperatures. Porcelain tile is not typically glazed, comes in fewer varieties, and lacks the more decorative options of ceramic, but can be longer lasting.
Glass Tile
Glass tiles can offer a unique backsplash thanks to the variety of shades, shapes, and designs. Glass tile also offers different levels of reflectivity: glossy, frosted, matte, and iridescent, which reflects all colors of light and is perfect for sunlit rooms.
Natural Stone Tile
Natural stone tiles come in several options. Granite is the most popular natural stone tile and is available in a wide range of colors. Soapstone is available in neutrals; it is the least porous stone but is prone to scratches. Travertine is softer and more porous than other stone tiles, but it has a high level of natural gloss. Marble has long been a luxury choice, and it’s many colors and unique natural veins add to its beauty. Engineered stone is also an option. One of the most popular engineered stone options is quartz.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a great option for a kitchen backsplash if you are going for a sleek look. It is durable and easy to clean. A stainless steel backsplash can be modified with many different design patterns and can include other materials such as glass. Different textures are also available, such as quilted, ribbed, or hammered
