Backsplashes too often, typically, don’t make it to the top of the priority list of homeowners when renovating their kitchens. Backsplashes serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. They enable homeowners in the Chagrin Falls area to protect walls from grease, water, and foodstuffs while providing opportunities to make a unique design statement.

No one material is superior to other backsplash options. Material selection often depends on style preferences and ease of maintenance. Here is some helpful information about backsplash options:

Glass (slabs or tile)

Glass tile kitchen backsplashes have a sophisticated look. The reflective surface returns light and brightens the kitchen. 

  • Easy to clean

  • Resists heat and won't be damaged from cooking

  • Endless options – almost every color scheme, style, and design is available in glass

  • Customizable sizing

  • Enhances illumination because of glass’ ability to reflect light

  • On-trend

  • Glass is naturally non-porous, so it never needs to be sealed

Natural Stone

Using natural stone to create a backsplash can give your kitchen a more textured and organic look – although different stones will evoke different moods.

  • Timeless look

  • Unique – no two pieces of stone look the same, making your kitchen one-of-a-kind

  • Stones requires care to be resealed every two to three years or more often, depending on the amount of cooking in your kitchen

Backsplashes are the decorative focal point of your kitchen, adding visual flair, exuding personal style, and setting the mood for the heart of your home.
