The outside of your home is defined by many features, like the windows, doors, roof, or landscaping. The same holds true for the interior, where each room is anchored by something that defines your personality. In the family room, it may be a flat screen television above the fireplace. In the master bathroom, it could be that claw bath tub you reclaimed from a Chicagoland salvage yard. The kitchen, however, has many anchor features – think stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, tile flooring – but one that gets overlooked is the backsplash behind the sink or stove.

At Budget Construction Company, we have specialized in affordable and stylish home renovations since 1975 and handle every project as if it were for our own family members. Our design and remodeling teams excel in helping homeowners get the most value from their home, and look forwarding to making your dreams come to life.

Choose the Best Backsplash for Your Kitchen

As you work with a designer from Budget Construction Company on your new kitchen, keep in mind the little details such as lighting, fixtures for the cabinetry, and wall coverings – and how they complement one another as part of the large remodeling project. Backsplashes are sometimes overlooked, but nonetheless add style to the rest of your kitchen.

Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing a backsplash.

• Select a backsplash that complements the overall look and feel of your kitchen.
• Decide which material is best for your design and budget. Years ago, homeowners selected backsplashes minimalist in size, color, and design. Typically, some kind of four-inch tile was chosen. But today, we are seeing design trends leaning toward new and sometimes exotic materials – granite, marble, ceramic tile, copper, brass, glass, stainless steel, and even concrete.
• Installing a backsplash properly, and ensuring it lasts several years, is something most homeowners should leave to the professionals because of the complexity involved. In addition to our expertise in kitchen remodeling, each project we work on includes a generous warranty on workmanship and materials.
• Consider the benefits of function over form. Remember, the chief purpose of a backsplash is to protect kitchen walls from splashes and splatters. Expensive, custom or hand-made tiles look pretty, but often do not hold up to the wear and tear of a kitchen used day in and day out.
• Choose a backsplash material that is easy to clean. A tile backsplash behind the sink will not take the same pounding as a splatter covering behind the stove – think grease and food build-up – so do yourself a favor. Ceramic, glass, and porcelain are the easiest materials to clean.
