Some materials are more expensive than others, but you can always get the look you want at a price that fits your budget if you shop smart.
Porcelain or Ceramic Tile

This material provides warmth to a kitchen or bathroom. They are often used together to create a one of a kind look. Flowers Flooring recommends sealing a natural stone backsplash to prevent staining.
Mosaic Tile
Mosaic tiles are small tiles attached to single 12-by-12 sheets. Material can vary, as can the cost. Using mosaic tile sheets is an affordable way to create specific patterns.
Glass Tiles
These tiles can come in various shapes and sizes. One popular trend right now is glass subway tile. A benefit of glass is that it is very low maintenance and easy to clean. This helps tremendously in an area of the home that sees lots of spills and splashes. Glass adds a lighter look to a room and can complement any style.
Cost
The cost of backsplash is dependent on the total square footage of the space. Keep in mind that a kitchen backsplash may be more expensive than a bathroom one since kitchens tend to have more awkward angles. To obtain an accurate cost, schedule your free backsplash estimate today.
