Protection that also sets the tone

A backsplash protects your walls from stains and water damage, but it’s also one of the fastest ways to add personal style to a kitchen. With endless tile options available, it’s an easy place to make a room feel like yours.

Choosing tile that’s easy to live with

Not every tile is low-maintenance. Natural stone and marble are porous and need regular sealing and specialty cleaners, and smaller tiles mean more grout joints for grease and dirt to collect in.

If easy upkeep is a priority, we recommend non-porous options like ceramic, porcelain, glass or metal tile, paired with a stain-resistant grout. Larger tile also means fewer grout joints and less cleaning overall.

Choosing tile for the long term

If you’re staying in your home for years to come, take your time picking tile you’ll still love down the road rather than something on sale. If you’re preparing to sell soon, lean toward neutral, timeless choices like classic subway tile that appeal to a broader range of buyers.

Questions worth asking any contractor before you hire them:

  • What grout will be used, and why?
  • Will the wall-to-countertop joint be caulked with silicone or grouted?
  • How will cabinets and countertops be protected during demo?
  • How will the rest of the home be protected from fine dust?
