Granite Backsplash
Granite is one of the most popular materials for kitchen countertops but did you consider using granite also as a backsplash? Just like the countertops, granite is a common material for kitchen backsplashes. Whether it’s a 4-inch backsplash or full-height slab, a granite backsplash can instantly lend sophistication and create a striking focal point between the kitchen cabinets. If you are looking for more information about granite kitchen backsplashes, keep reading and find some stylish design ideas that will inspire you!
Generally, granite backsplashes are cut from the same slab as the countertop. Using the same material on both surfaces is a great way to create a continuous look and this way, you can emphasize the impact of these beautiful natural stones. On the other hand, you can use a different material for your countertop to make the granite backsplash the centerpiece of your design. Besides its undeniably beautiful visual impact, granite is one of the most durable materials among the other natural stones. It’s heat resistant and stain-resistant and provides easy-to-clean surfaces. However, the biggest disadvantage of a granite backsplash is that is a porous material that requires regular sealing. Otherwise, food and water spills can cause permanent damages. So, granite backsplashes have their pros and cons, but they are absolutely timeless, stylish, durable, and they will definitely add value to your design project!
