  • Backsplash
The backsplash serves an important role in protecting your kitchen walls from the splatters and messes of everyday life. However, as a finishing touch that must tie in the cabinets and countertops while matching hardware, appliances, and other decorative elements, choosing the perfect backsplash style for your kitchen can become a daunting task. Enter glass. Glass was rated the best material for walls by Consumer Reports thanks to its versatility, durability, and ease of maintenance. We think you'll love it of it's beautiful, reflective nature, limitless style, and functionality. Read on!
 
Reflectiveness Glass is more luminous than any other material, even ceramic. It easily bounces light throughout a room to make it appear brighter and larger. Its reflective nature adds both shimmer and radiance to give a polished look in your kitchen. And don't worry, it won't dull over time so the shininess is here to stay!
 
Endless Options Homeowners who choose glass for a backsplash are given a limitless amount of options. From subway and mosaic tile to custom ornamental tiles, glass comes in every shape you can imagine. It also comes in various sizes from itty bitty mosaic tiles to complete solid sheets. You can also choose an opaque or clear finish to match your personal style preference.
 
Versatility Whether your kitchen's style is traditional, transitional, contemporary, or a little bit of everything, glass tile's various options allows it to fit in perfectly with any kitchen design. It is also the easiest material to match with any countertop material, from granite to butcher block.
 
Easy Care Caring for glass is super simple which happens to make it the most functional material as a backsplash. Glass is actually easier to clean than ceramic (which can scratch), natural stone (which can stain), and metal (which can dent and show fingerprints). Regular upkeep only requires a few sprits of a water/vinegar solution followed by a simple wipe-down with a soft cloth. Glass is considered the most hygienic material since it is both mildew and stain resistant. It is also scratch resistant though you should ask for polished edges so it won't scratch you! Which style of glass backsplash do you like?
