Types of kitchen backsplashes

Are you planning to buy a new kitchen backsplash/backsplash? Here are some materials you may want to consider using, along with some pros and cons of each:

slabs: Tiles are a common kitchen covering material that allows you to choose different shapes, colors and patterns. However, tiles are not always easy to clean and maintain, especially grout.

Mosaic: Mosaic tiles can work as a kitchen backsplash that can add a bright feature to the area. These are small tiles that are laid in a sheet fashion and can create some really impressive effects.

Glass: This material is a popular choice. Glass is extremely hygienic and easy to clean. You can choose smooth glass, textured glass or back-painted glass. It can be expensive to install and cannot be cut to exact shapes.

leds: These types of kitchen backsplashes use LED lights behind a sheet of glass. You can set the colors to change periodically. This is a great way to create a unique look in the heart of your home.

stainless steel: Stainless steel is a modern choice for your kitchen backsplash. It is easy to clean and maintain. The downsides are that it will easily show smudges, fingerprints, and watermarks if you’re not careful.

to paint: Paint is an inexpensive option for a kitchen backsplash, however it may not be waterproof or easy to clean. Another problem with painting is that you don’t have many design options.

wood: This can be used to create beautiful effects. However, you must ensure that the material is properly sealed and maintained so that it does not become damaged by water.

Zenolite: A kitchen backsplash made of Zenolite can dramatically transform the walls of any kitchen. The material is strong, lightweight, flexible, and is a cost-effective alternative to back-painted glass. It is 25 times stronger and weighs half the glass. The good news is that Zenolite can be professionally cut to any dimension. This way you can reduce any measurement errors quickly. Since Zenolite can be cut to any dimension, you can dramatically reduce waste, breakage, and long lead times associated with using glass-based kitchen backsplashes. Kitchen backsplashes made of Zenolite can be installed over many existing wall finishes. The material is easy to clean and maintain.

The only drawback is that a kitchen backsplash made of Zenolite is not suitable for use behind a hob, but it blends well with other surface materials ensuring a perfect look in a modern environment.

Knowing the pros and cons of the various materials available for use as a backsplash should help you make a more informed decision, and don’t forget that you can mix and match different materials depending on where you use them.
