Travertine backsplash, pros/cons??
Comments (47)It's funny to read this thread from 5 years ago hearing people talking about travertine as dated. My wife and I just bought a house and it is a pretty big upgrade to go from the included tile backsplash to a travertine backsplash. I guess my point is, and I doubt anyone is even reading this anyway 5 years later, but my point is that I agree with the people that say go with what you like and don't worry about anyone else's opinions. It's your house. Why do people always concern themselves with how other people will like their things, when they are not the ones spending all their time there....See MoreBeadboard backsplash dilemma keep w/ pro stove? Ideas?
Comments (13)For going on 7 years, I've had a tempered glass plate behind a pro-style range. Also got a long narrow one for a backsplash on the wall behind the kitchen sink. Much easier to clean than tile. It was not expensive but it does require tempered glass which is sized to order. Extra cost option to have the plate drilled for mounting-screw-holes. The alternative is to use mirror-mounting clips. The local glass shop owners told me that they were doing several of them a month mostly for kitchens with beadboard on kitchen walls. My town has a lot of early 1900s homes with beadboard wainscotting in the kitchens and bathrooms so there is something of a market for glass covers here....See MoreBacksplash behind range
Comments (24)A simple approach would be to use the same finish tile but in a different direction, size, or even shape, just to break create a subtle change and not be too overpowering. It would transition fine since the thickness would be the same. If you prefer the idea of changing the material, stainless or countertop material would be our next suggestion. Here are a few examples of stainless steel risers and backsplashes we’ve done. I hope this is helpful! An example of a 20” stainless riser: An example of a 36” stainless riser: An example of a 24” (maybe higher) stainless riser:...See MoreQuartz backsplash behind gas range
Comments (129)This site is awesome. Timely conversation, as our designer recommended we move our range from a peninsula (that will become an island) to an outside wall, for better function. It is a GE Cafe dual fuel 30 inch range with the island trim, put in just over 3 years ago. After finding this thread, found an online install information, with the only recommendation to be 2 1/2 inches from the wall in the back and 3 inches clearance on the sides, and they had no recommendations for the wall behind the stove otherwise. I called GE and the service department there confirmed that this island trim oven was ok to use on a wall counter, and that to just follow code for the wall behind it. No recommendations other than the 2 1/2 inches from the back. I discussed this with our designer, who had just recommended only 24 inch counters, and the quartz backsplash, who was pretty noncommital about needing any changes. When I did say I cook sourdough bread at least twice a week, with 500 degree ovens for warmup, she said to get tile or real stone, but didn't need to change the counter depth as the tile was the fireproofing. It will be fairly easy for us to deepen the counter about 3 inches, I will just need to have a 30 inch sink rather than a 33 inch sink on the counter that will now be 3 inches less wide. But that will be just me and our countertop/cabinet group, not sure if it is worth it to convince our designer of what is common sense to me. Now we get to work on backsplashes. This range has the simmer and smaller burners in the back, with the larger speed boil burners in the front, so not sure what the fireproof wall in the back needs to be....See Morecarriage
