Useful for protecting the wall near the worktop from splashes, the kitchen backsplash also plays a decorative role. This accessory is made from various materials such as tiles, glass, resin, or stainless steel.
Here are some things to know about the kitchen backsplash:
- it protects the wall from water and grease splashes;
- only models made of Securit glass, tiles, and stainless steel can withstand the heat emitted by a cooking plate;
- it is easily cleaned with soapy water, a sponge, and a microfiber cloth.
The kitchen backsplash is made from different materials:
- the adhesive model is easy to install and comes in different finishes (tile imitation, brick, etc.)
- tile, the most common, is available in large panels;
- stainless steel is appreciated for its modernity and ease of maintenance;
- laminate is available in different colors and can be glued directly to the wall;
- Securit glass adds a design touch to the decor;
- resin resists both heat (up to 180°C) and shocks;
- facing panels give a natural stone or brick look;
- Zenolite gives a result comparable to that of Securit glass;
- plaster allows for inexpensive renovation of a damaged wall.
Various accessories can find their place on the backsplash:
- magnetic or adhesive bars to hang kitchen utensils such as the ladle, knives, whisk, or spatula;
- shelves for candles, jars, and condiments.
Ultimately, the choice of the kitchen backsplash depends on personal preferences, but especially on the room's decor. Special coatings like chalkboard surfaces are also available.
