How to install quartz backsplash?
First, start by cleaning the application area. If there are any bumps, you can flatten them with sandpaper and clean the surface again to get rid of the unwanted dust. Continue by covering the countertops with a plastic sheet to avoid any damage.
When you are ready to install the backsplash, spread the construction adhesive on the back of the quartz backsplash, place it on the wall and apply some pressure for it to attach properly. If you need to cut it, you can use a circular saw for cleaner edges. While cutting it, keep moving the blade every 30 seconds to keep the temperature low.
As for the next step, since it is a slab backsplash, you don’t need to worry about grouting and grout lines and sealing since it is pore-free. But, don’t forget to caulk the joint between countertops and the backsplash to prevent water from seeping through these gaps in the future. After caulking, dampen your finger and move it along the joint until the caulk feels even and flattened.

This way, it establishes a well-functioning design that is differentiated by the different materials and needs of the space. As quartz provides high resistance to heat, it serves as a durable background for the stove, while the window backsplash provides an abundance of natural light to the worktop and glass offers an easy-to-clean surface for the home bar. And the rest is designed to ensure that all these pieces get connected with a neutral setup, which is accomplished with shaker cabinets in this kitchen.
How do you cut the quartz backsplash?
When you have the right tools, cutting a quartz backsplash could be a piece of cake. All that you need is a circular saw with a diamond blade, measuring tape, pen, heavy-duty gloves, goggles for eye protection, and a mask (you can also use a face shield). It is also recommended to work outdoors or in a well-ventilated area for safety precautions as inhaling the quartz dust could cause damage to the body.
When it comes to the cutting process, first, measure the area well and mark the spot where you need to cut the backsplash. Before cutting it, leave some extra space because you will also have to smooth the edges. Now you can start cutting with a diamond blade attached to the circular or wet saw that will give you straight and clean cuts. Since the cutting generates heat, the water of the wet saw will help to cool it down and keep the airborne dust under control. For one final touch, you can use a polishing wheel and oil to smooth the newly cut edges.
