KIT-19DS119
Dry pantry backsplash
Kitchen- Best for
- A dry pantry where the backsplash is the room's one graphic moment.
- Watch out
- Pattern needs set-out; a pattern cut awkwardly at the ends undoes the effect.
- Cost effect
- Higher — pattern costs in laying, not just in tile.
- Scope effect
- Set-out must be drawn from a centre line, and cut positions agreed before laying.
- Responsible
- Coordinated by ELS
- Best for
- Continuing the joinery material behind the counter for a seamless run.
- Watch out
- Timber behind a counter is a dry-zone decision only — keep it away from a sink or kettle station.
- Cost effect
- Higher.
- Scope effect
- Confirm the zone is genuinely dry; a kettle produces more steam than clients expect.
- Responsible
- Coordinated by ELS
- Best for
- A quiet, orderly backsplash that reads as texture rather than pattern.
- Watch out
- Stack bond shows any wall out of plumb along the vertical joints.
- Cost effect
- Moderate.
- Scope effect
- Wall flatness must be checked before laying — this bond exposes it.
- Responsible
- Coordinated by ELS
- Best for
- The simplest and most changeable option in a genuinely dry pantry.
- Watch out
- Not a splash surface; behind a kettle or sink it will not last.
- Cost effect
- The least expensive.
- Scope effect
- Only valid where the zone is dry — confirm against the appliance positions.
