How to install slab backsplash?

The installation of a slab backsplash is very similar to tiles but in this case, you will work with one single piece instead of individual pieces. Because slab backsplashes are heavy materials especially natural stones, you need to use a strong backer material that is screwed into the studs because the backer holds the adhesive so much better. Apply the construction adhesive behind the slab with a caulk gun and set the slab in place. Once the install the slab, apply silicone where the backsplash meets the countertop to provide waterproofing.
