Video Overview: Tile Countertops & Backsplashes

  1. Tile Countertops
    • Tile used to be one of the top choices for countertop surfaces. Nowadays, most people rip out tile countertops in order to install a more efficient surfacing material.
    • Tile is not a very popular choice for countertops because the grout lines are hard to clean, it does not provide an even work surface for cleanup and, though it is durable, it can chip.
  1. Tile Backsplashes
    • Tile is a very common material in backsplashes. Tile backsplashes can be used with granite, laminate, engineered stone or other countertop materials.
    • The cost of tile backsplashes can vary based on the type of tile and how elaborate the design is. To save costs, choose a simple design because labor is a large part of the total cost.
