Backsplash and tile

Kitchen backsplash and tile in Loveland

The wall between counter and cabinets, and most of the look.

Sage green island with white stools under two brass and glass pendants, windows behind the sink
Tile

Subway and handmade style tile stay in style. Small tile and patterns take longer to set than big pieces.

Slab

A sheet of quartz or stone that matches the counter, with no grout lines at all.

  1. 01Where it ends

    Settle it early: under the uppers, up to the ceiling, or at the window trim.

  2. 02Outlet boxes

    The covers sit on the tile, so their spots get planned before tiling starts.

  3. 03Grout

    A darker grout hides cooking splashes better than white.

Backsplash and tile

Backsplash and tile questions

Q1How long does a backsplash take to install?

A day or two, then a day for the grout to cure.

Q2Can new tile go over the old?

Sometimes, but stripping the old tile first leaves a cleaner edge.

Q3Is a slab backsplash worth paying for?

It wipes clean in one pass and runs seamless with the counter, with nothing to scrub.
