What is a Kitchen Backsplash?

If you have ever overlooked the kitchen backsplash, it is a strip along the counter and against the wall that protects your wall from splashes and spills while cooking. This area is a great opportunity to add some color to the room or to tie the counter and design together with a unifying accent. Backsplashes can be made from many different materials.

• Porcelain
• Marble
• Stone
• Ceramic
• Glass
• Vinyl
• Composite
• PVC

These tiles can be in different shapes too to be installed individually or for peel and stick designs, created for easy installation.

Installing Your Kitchen Backsplash

You can remove the existing backsplash with the use of a putty knife to carefully pry the tiles off the wall. Once finished, make sure to wash and sand the wall completely so it is ready for the new tiles or sheets to be installed. Whether working with adhesive or the peel and stick variety, work along the edge of the counter first then work your way up and out to make sure everything lines up and is applied evenly.

The creation of your kitchen backsplash is in your hands. Benefit from these tips to see how you can pick out and design your own kitchen backsplash. Get creative with different colored and shaped tiles or see what peel and stick options catch your eye. Enjoy the result and finish that kitchen renovation.
