In virtually all cases the installation of new countertops will require you to choose new backsplashes. The Backsplash is often overlooked and taken for granted, yet they can make a very personal statement with your beautiful new countertops. Adding a custom backsplash is a special and personal touch to your dream project.
WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS?
Your first option is to go without backsplashes.
While the most cost effective option, your walls may become soiled over time from food, splashes and cleaning.
The second and most common option is 4" tall backsplashes.
This provides the protection your wall needs, it also adds color and depth to your design at a reasonable cost.
A third option is a full height backsplash, which provides for additional protection, design consistency, and additional color.
Full height backsplashes underneath bars or behind stoves can make an impressive design statement, as they are usually the first thing people see when entering the room. One of the unique advantages Granite & Quartz Countertops has over many of its competitors is we have the ability to custom fit your full height backsplash the same day we install your countertops.
Most fabricators have to wait until they have installed your countertops to fabricate your full height backsplashes in order to get a proper fit, adding significant time to your project.
A fourth option is custom tile work in place of a granite backspash.
There is an amazing array of tile options on the market today and an infinite number of designs. Consider mixing tile shapes, sizes and orientations and look at creating borders and special designs behind cook-tops to add additional flair and elegance. If you are a "handy man" you may choose to do the tiling yourself or select from many local craftsmen to complete your project.
