Custom Backsplashes

Utility Can Be a Thing of Beauty

When you’re busy whipping up meals in the kitchen or directing traffic during bath time, you need a backsplash that can take whatever your family throws at it. Even better is a backsplash that is a work of art in its own right.

Beyond Tile Backsplashes

Don’t get us wrong, a classic black and white pinwheel porcelain mosaic never goes out of style. If you love all things vintage, look no further. But, if that’s not for you, consider:

• Faux ceramic brick that makes an old world statement
• Glass for a pop art masterpiece
• Stone to create Earth-inspired spaces
• Stainless steel mosaic tiles for a sophisticated, urban look

There are so many options, for every interior, your biggest problem might be choosing just one. In that case, explore mixed tile designs like glass next to metal or stone around tile. 

Craftsmanship is Called For

The finished look, performance, and longevity of your custom backsplash is dependent on installation, which requires a high level of skill and experience, particularly when using non-traditional materials or creating complex mosaics around corners and fixtures.

Even small mistakes during installation will, at best, be an eyesore. One slightly crooked tile can throw off the entire grout line and pattern. At worst, poor installation can mean the backsplash isn’t water tight, which is going to lead to a very expensive future disaster.

At the end of the day, the role of a backsplash is to protect your walls from water, cooking grease, stains, and other damage. They can be beautiful, but first and foremost, they must be practical.
