Having a stunning backsplash can truly complete any new countertop installation. But other than just looks, backsplashes can have a functional role as well.

What is Quartz? 

Quartz is an engineered stone that is made by combining quartz mineral with polyester resin. Although different brands will have different percentages, the composition of quartz is generally around 90 percent quartz mineral with the remaining 10 percent being polyester resin. Some brands may have up to 95 percent quartz mineral. Although it is not natural stone, quartz is a beautiful material. Some types are engineered to have the look of natural stones like granite or marble. There are many colors and patterns you can choose from and customization is easily attainable. This means that you will surely find something that you like as well as something that fits the décor of your space. 

Why Should You Choose a Quartz Backsplash? 

There are many reasons that you should choose a quartz backsplash. Not only is the material beautiful, durable and adaptable to any room, but it is also stain resistant, protects the walls from moisture, is easily to clean and does not require the sealing that natural stone surfaces do.

What Are the Drawbacks of Quartz Backsplashes? 

Despite having many appealing factors, quartz backsplashes, like those that are made of natural stone, are not perfect. A quartz backsplash is not heat resistant, so make note of that if you are installing it in the kitchen. While this has less of an impact on a backsplash as it would a quartz countertop, you still want to exercise as much caution as possible. Also, while quartz can imitate the look of natural stone, many homeowners find that there is no true replacement for granite, marble or any other type of natural stone. 

Types of Quartz Backsplashes 

Having a full backsplash (one that extends from your countertops up to your cabinets) can truly create a visual impact in your home. Below are some stunning options that you have for quartz backsplashes.
