Your kitchen backsplash says a lot about your style. It also plays a vital role in your layout’s functionality. If you’re planning a remodel, this is one of the features you should not skimp on.
Whether you prefer a subtle, minimal effect or a spiced-up aesthetic, knowing more about your options available will help you make the best decision. Here are popular backsplash options you might want to consider.
Tiled backsplashes are popular because they are versatile, practical and stylish. Ceramic tiles can be produced to look like natural wood and stone but without the high level of maintenance often attributed to these materials.
Pros:
Ceramic tiles are specially formulated and baked in high-fire kilns to meet the highest standards. They are inexpensive, lightweight and easy to install.
Ceramic tiles come in virtually every size imaginable, from tiny mosaics to large 16 × 16 versions.
Cons:
They require regular grout maintenance.
Glass
Glass tiles come in various designs and add a splash of color and depth. A glass backsplash works great in a contemporary or transitional-style kitchen.
Pros:
A glass backsplash adds dimension and color and offers endless design options.
Glass is perfect for mid-range budgets.
Cons:
Glass backsplash materials need near-perfect walls. Translucent or transparent glass can’t conceal damaged walls.
Smaller dimensions can make a space or room appear smaller.
Granite
Granite is an ever-reliable backsplash material. It can be used in traditional and contemporary designs. Furthermore, no two slabs of natural stone look the same, ensuring a one-of-a-kind look for your kitchen.
Pros:
Granite is easy to clean and extremely durable.
It comes in various colors.
Cons:
Granite is one of the more expensive backsplash options.
It is porous, so it requires sealing to prevent staining.
