A backsplash is a thin piece installed at the junction between the countertop and the wall. Its primary function is to prevent water, food debris, and dirt from seeping into the joint, thereby protecting the wall and kitchen structure.
Characteristics of a backsplash:
-
By default, it is made of the same material as the countertop.
-
Typically has a straight shape for easy cleaning.
-
Fixed with screws and, in some cases, sealed with silicone for improved water resistance.
-
Enhances the kitchen’s aesthetics by providing a clean and professional finish.
