Benefits of a Porcelain Slab Backsplash
When you close your eyes and imagine your dream kitchen, what do you see? The design process can be overwhelming because of how many options are available — from hardware color and countertop material to lighting fixtures and appliances. If your dream kitchen is jaw-dropping, consider a continuous porcelain slab that seamlessly transitions from your kitchen countertops up the wall as your backsplash. This one-of-a-kind design truly elevates any space while seamlessly blending into any design aesthetic. Along with looking luxurious, here are a few benefits of a porcelain slab backsplash:
Low Maintenance
We all have busy schedules, some more than most. And the last thing you probably want to do is spend your free time performing tedious maintenance on your backsplash to keep up its appearance. A major benefit of opting for this backsplash over traditional wall tile is that it’s a completely solid surface. This means you can simply wipe it down with a standard cleaner and damp cloth without having to worry about stains or chips to the grout.
Seamless Design
While traditional or modern tile backsplashes can still take a kitchen from drab to fab, there’s something about a porcelain slab backsplash that will leave you and your guests in awe. The way the backsplash is installed creates the illusion of a seamless transition from your kitchen countertops up the wall into the backsplash. Instead of opting for tile that has grout lines that can detract from its appearance, choose porcelain for an elevated aesthetic.
Focal Point
A porcelain slab backsplash attracts the attention of your guests without being too over the top. Whether you opt for a vibrant or eclectic pattern or a more subdued color palette, this backsplash can be the focal point of a variety of kitchen aesthetics, including modern, traditional, minimalist, and more.
Affordable
Because a porcelain slab backsplash is a large, solid slab, many homeowners think that they can’t afford it and opt for more traditional backsplash options with various subway tile patterns. However, a porcelain slab backsplash is an affordable option that makes it easy to create a luxurious and expensive-looking kitchen without the high price tag attached to it.
