In a kitchen, a backsplash is an essential feature that serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. Positioned on the wall above the countertop and typically behind areas like the sink and stove, a backsplash protects your walls from moisture, food splashes, grease, and stains. This layer of protection not only makes cleaning easier but also adds a stylish element that enhances the overall look and feel of the kitchen. Available in materials like tile, glass, metal, and natural or engineered stone, backsplashes can be tailored to suit any design style, from modern minimalism to classic elegance.
In a kitchen, a backsplash is a protective panel that we install on the wall above your countertop, typically behind sinks or stoves, to shield walls from splashes, spills, and stains. Beyond its practical benefits, a backsplash adds a decorative touch, enhancing your kitchen’s overall design. Backsplashes come in various materials, including tile, glass, metal, and stone, and can be tailored to suit your style preferences.

Choosing the right material for a backsplash is essential, as it depends on the location and intended use. For example, a kitchen backsplash requires durability and easy maintenance due to frequent exposure to heat, moisture, and food splashes. In a lobby or bar setting, however, the backsplash might prioritize style and ambiance over practicality, allowing for more diverse material options.
At Bergen Marble and Granite, we offer full backsplash options from our extensive inventory, including high-quality stone like marble, granite, and quartz, which are ideal for a kitchen’s demands. These materials are not only heat- and stain-resistant but also create a stunning, continuous flow from countertop to cabinets.
Beyond stone, you can also use materials like tile, glass, mirror, and even wallpaper for full backsplashes. These can bring unique textures, colors, and reflective qualities that enhance a lobby’s or bar’s atmosphere. Each material offers distinct advantages: glass and mirror add brightness and depth, while tile and wallpaper allow for intricate designs and custom patterns. Whatever the setting or style, our team can guide you in selecting the perfect backsplash material to achieve your desired look and functionality.
Current kitchen backsplash trends blend style with function:
Full Stone Slabs: Seamless stone backsplashes, like marble or quartz, create a luxurious, clean look with natural veining.
Bold Patterns & Geometric Tiles: Tiles in hexagon, herringbone, and other shapes add texture and modern flair.
Subway Tiles with a Twist: Classic subway tiles are refreshed with larger sizes, colored grout, and matte finishes.
Metallics & Reflective Surfaces: Stainless steel, copper, and mirrored glass add depth and brightness, especially in smaller kitchens or bar areas at homes.
Earthy Neutrals: Soft, natural colors like beige and sage bring warmth and calm.
3D & Textured Tiles: Textured tiles add depth and interest, making them perfect for accent areas.
The template and installation process for a full stone backsplash is typically conducted after the countertop is installed to ensure precise alignment. Once the countertop is in place, our expert team will carefully measure the backsplash area and create a custom template, accounting for any wall irregularities to ensure a perfect fit. This template serves as a guide for cutting the stone with accuracy and precision.
After the template is finalized, the stone is custom-cut, polished, and prepared for installation. The backsplash is then securely adhered to the wall using high-quality adhesives, and all seams and edges are expertly finished to achieve a seamless, flawless appearance.
