Wet kitchen backsplash
Wet kitchen- Best for
- The easiest wet-kitchen surface to keep clean — the fewest joints to hold grease.
- Watch out
- Handling and cutting are specialist; a single damaged slab is a whole-panel replacement.
- Relative cost
- The highest of the four.
- Consequential work
- Requires a wall flat enough to take a large panel and a decided junction at the worktop.
- Best for
- Bringing character to a working wet kitchen.
- Watch out
- Small tiles mean a lot of grout, and grout plus wok grease is the hardest combination to keep looking new.
- Relative cost
- Higher — the cost is in laying.
- Consequential work
- Consider an epoxy or stain-resistant grout; this is the decision that determines how it ages.
- Best for
- Behind a heavy-use hob.
- Watch out
- Shows every smear and scratches with abrasive cleaning; it reads commercial, which not every client wants.
- Relative cost
- Higher.
- Consequential work
- Fixing and edge detail need specifying, and the junction to adjacent finishes must be drawn.
One option isn't shown yet — coming soon: Plain porcelain tile.
Cost lines are relative and typical for the illustrated specification. Relative cost names the direct cost drivers, consequential work names what else changes, and watch out names the checks required. Exceptions and site conditions can change any of them. A relative direction, not an amount. Nothing here is a price; the figure belongs to whoever supplies the item and is set after measurement.Supply and installation confirmed with your specification.
