The best backsplashes combine beauty that complements your kitchen design with utility that protects your walls from stains.  We provide a wealth of information here so that you can make informed decisions about the backsplashes for your remodeled kitchen – one that you’ll continue to be happy with for years to come.

 

In kitchen design, seldom is enough thought given to the narrow strip wall that runs between the upper and lower cabinets.  This highly visible space – the backsplash is usually just painted a neutral color and forgotten about.  And that's too because it doesn't take much more than a few boxes of glazed tile and a free weekend to bring this seemingly dead to life.

 

We transform blank space into a beautiful ceramic-tile focal point – one that will endure many more years of cooking spatters and soap washing than the drywall that was there before.  The backsplash features a tiled mural on the cooktop.  It can be created by combining 6-inch field tiles, 6-by-6-inch decorative tiles, and narrow border tiles, which are glued directly to the drywall.
