Kitchen Splash Back Tile - FAQ

What is a kitchen splashback tile?

A kitchen splashback tile is a protective and decorative surface installed on the wall behind a kitchen countertop, stove, or sink. Its main function is to prevent water, grease, and food splatters from staining or damaging the wall while also adding an aesthetic element to the kitchen. Splashback tiles are typically made from materials like ceramic, glass, metal, or stone, and they come in various colors, shapes, and patterns, allowing for both functionality and design flexibility.

Should splashback tiles be lighter or darker than the countertop?

Whether splashback tiles should be lighter or darker than the countertop depends on the overall design and atmosphere you want to create in your kitchen. Here are some considerations for both options:

Lighter Splashback Tiles:

  • Brighter and Airier Look: Lighter tiles create an open, bright feel, making the kitchen appear more spacious.
  • Subtle Contrast: They can provide a subtle contrast if the countertop is darker, creating a balanced, harmonious look.
  • Modern and Minimalist Aesthetic: Light tones often fit well with modern or minimalist designs, giving a clean, fresh vibe.

Darker Splashback Tiles:

  • Bold and Dramatic Effect: Darker tiles can add a sense of depth and create a striking contrast with lighter countertops.
  • Sophisticated Appearance: Dark tiles often give a more elegant or luxurious feel to the kitchen.
  • Highlighting Feature: Dark splashback tiles can make the backsplash a focal point, drawing attention to that area.

Ultimately, it's about your personal style and how you want the kitchen to feel—whether cohesive and subtle, or bold and statement-making. Many designers aim for a complementary contrast between the splashback and the countertop for visual interest.

Can splashback tiles be installed behind appliances like dishwashers or ovens?

Splashback tiles are typically installed on walls, but they can extend behind certain appliances with some considerations:

  1. Behind Ovens:

Yes, splashback tiles are commonly installed behind ovens, particularly on the wall behind cooktops or ranges. Tiles protect the wall from heat, grease, and food splatters. However, it's essential to ensure that the tiles are heat-resistant, especially behind gas stoves or ovens, where high temperatures are frequent.

2.Behind Dishwashers:

Generally, splashback tiles are not installed directly behind dishwashers, as dishwashers are under-counter appliances and don’t typically expose the wall to water splashes. However, the wall area above the counter and sink where water splashes might occur can be tiled.

In summary, splashback tiles are most useful and practical in areas exposed to heat or water, like behind stovetops, sinks, or ovens, but are unnecessary behind fully built-in appliances like dishwashers.

Do splashback tiles need to be heat resistant?

Yes, splashback tiles should be heat-resistant, especially if they are installed behind cooktops, stoves, or other areas exposed to high temperatures. Heat-resistant tiles ensure safety and durability, preventing cracking or damage caused by the heat from appliances.

Ideal Heat-Resistant Tile Materials:

  • Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles: These are popular choices for splashbacks because they can withstand high temperatures and are easy to clean.
  • Glass Tiles: Glass is heat-resistant and offers a sleek, modern look, though it's more prone to showing smudges and fingerprints.
  • Metal Tiles: Stainless steel or other metal tiles are also highly resistant to heat, making them a good option behind cooktops or ovens.

Always check the specifications of the tiles you choose to ensure they are rated for heat exposure, especially for use behind a stove or oven.

Should splashback tiles match the worktop?

Splashback tiles do not have to match the worktop, but they should complement it in terms of color, style, and texture to create a cohesive design. Here are some options to consider:

Matching the Worktop:

  • Seamless Look: Matching tiles with the worktop can create a unified, seamless appearance, giving the kitchen a clean and harmonious feel.
  • Same Material: In some designs, the same material used for the worktop (like quartz or marble) is extended up the wall as a splashback, making the space look sleek and continuous.

Contrasting the Worktop:

  • Visual Interest: Using contrasting splashback tiles adds depth and visual interest to the kitchen. For example, if you have a plain worktop, patterned or textured tiles can add character.
  • Highlighting Features: A contrasting splashback can act as a focal point, drawing attention to the backsplash area while balancing the overall design.

Ultimately, it's about achieving the look you want—whether a seamless flow or a striking contrast. Many designers recommend coordinating colors and textures rather than matching exactly for a more dynamic and personalized design.

Do splashback tiles need sealing?

Whether splashback tiles need sealing depends on the material used for the tiles and the grout:

Tiles That Require Sealing:

Natural Stone Tiles (e.g., marble, travertine, limestone, slate): these porous materials need sealing to prevent stains from water, grease, and food splashes. Sealing also protects the stone from absorbing moisture, which can lead to discoloration.

Tiles That Don’t Require Sealing:

Glazed Ceramic or Porcelain Tiles: These tiles have a protective, non-porous glaze, making them water- and stain-resistant, so they generally do not require sealing.
