How much does a solid slab backsplash cost?
How much backsplash tile do I need?
Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.
What material should you use for your solid slab backsplash?
I just got the price from my contractor for doing a full slab quartz countertop and backsplash versus using tile for the backsplash. The difference is…substantial
Please make me feel better by telling me all the reasons I don’t want full slab for my backsplash.
UPDATE: Thank you to everyone for your opinions and advice! In the end, budget won. I went with the leathered Taj countertop and a lovely subway tile backsplash in a pretty cream color. Added an accent panel behind the range with smaller tiles that mimic the Taj so it kind of looks like part of the slab but also complements the tile backsplash. I can’t wait to post photos if they ever finish.
Heading back to the cabinet showroom tomorrow because the finish color for the island ended up being too light once the sample door arrived.
