When looking at kitchen backsplashes, it can be difficult to know what type of material you want in your kitchen. While they all have their own merits, it’s important to know which is the best fit for your aesthetic — and your budget —when choosing a new backsplash for your kitchen.

For your convenience, here is a brief description of each of the three types of kitchen backsplashes that we offer:


  1. Quartz backsplash. Quartz is a good choice for its non-porous qualities. It is resistant to stains, and any splatters that get onto it can be cleaned away with a simple scrub of soap and water. In addition, they make a classy addition to any modern kitchen.
  2. Glass backsplash. Although this material might raise some concerns about durability, glass kitchen backsplashes are usually tempered      in a special way to make them durable enough to withstand the standard wear and tear of daily kitchen use. They stain less easily, and are smoother than typical tile or laminate backsplashes, making them easier to clean as well.
  3. Tile backsplash. Tiles are popular because you can find them in virtually any color or design. Whether you’re looking for a subtle look, a bold statement piece, or a bright and fun pop of color in your kitchen, tile is likely to be your best bet.


In the end, it all comes down to your personal preferences for style, ease of cleaning, and how much variety you think you’ll want. If you are unsure, we are happy to help by making recommendations via our design consultation service.
