Installing a kitchen in your home involves combining the smaller components of a kitchen into a final masterpiece! These components include picking the right countertop, the right cabinetry design, and color, and other factors such as the layout of the kitchen and its location make a huge difference in a kitchen. Although all these components play a significant role in the kitchen, one component that is often overlooked in kitchens is backsplashes. Backsplashes enhance the look of the countertop and add to the premium and expensive look that a well-built kitchen gives off. This is why in today’s blog we will be discussing the types of kitchen backsplashes that you can install in your kitchen.
Types of Kitchen Backsplash
Types of Kitchen Backsplash
Ceramic Tile
Ceramic Tile is a common backsplash installed by homeowners in their kitchens, because of its low maintenance, water resistance, durability, and scratch and fire resistance features. In addition, it is relatively cheaper than most available options in the market and also provides a premium look. There are many designs of ceramic tiles available online, making it easier to find the perfect tile for your kitchen.
Porcelain Tiles
Porcelain Tile is also a common backsplash installed by homeowners, providing benefits such as low maintenance and water and fire resistance. In comparison to Ceramic Tiles, Porcelain is denser than Ceramic, and therefore withstand more weight, although these will be installed up against a wall. Porcelain is also less porous, meaning it will absorb less water which limits water damage.
Glass Tile
Glass Tile is another common backsplash, providing similar features such as low maintenance, and also best with water absorption as its absorption rate is 0%. Another benefit of installing tiles in your Kitchen is that due to their highly reflective surface, they can make spaces feel larger by bouncing light throughout the room.
Quartz
Although Quartz is a famously used countertop material in kitchens, it is also sometimes installed as a backsplash. It provides features such as protecting the wall from moisture, being stain-resistant, and can easily be cleaned. You would probably want to install a Quartz backsplash to match the countertop in your kitchen, which will provide a uniform and premium look in your kitchen.
