What is a kitchen backsplash?
A backsplash is a protective wall covering installed behind a kitchen sink, stovetop, or other appliance. Backsplashes can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, marble, glass, stone and Quartz. As a vertical surface, foot traffic and slip resistance are not concerns, which means you can choose from almost any size, shape, or texture.

They come in a variety of colors and styles, so you can find the perfect match for your kitchen. Porcelain tiles are also moisture-resistant, so they are a good choice for kitchens that get wet often.

Glass tiles are also easy to clean and maintain. However, glass tiles are not as durable as porcelain tiles and may require more maintenance over time.
Stone wall tiles are a natural choice for kitchen backsplashes. Stone tiles are available in fewer choices compared to glass and porcelain. However, its natural beauty is unmatched. Similar to a granite countertop, stone wall backsplash requires maintenance. We recommend sealing the stone backsplash every 6 months. More frequent sealing could be required depending on cooking behavior.
