Question on backsplash to corian countertop
Comments (5)we installed coved corian backsplash in our kitchen. easy to clean and no seams, replacing the original tile countertop which was nightmare to clean. I guess we could add tile on top on the wall but haven't. Two bathrooms still have the original corian counters, but the contractor who built the homes did not use coved, they put in seams to make the corian backsplash about 3" high. Odd because they went to the trouble to add a wood strip along the front sandwiched into the corian to match the cabinets. I love coved finish and would also prefer to do that to a tile floor if possible. Soooo easy to clean....See MoreHelp - granite backsplash is too short
Comments (2)Were you planning on tiling the backsplash? If not the whole thing then maybe you could just put a row of tiles with a strip on top to finish it off.

Comments (4)Pinktoes - I also looked at that option as I am going from post form laminate and find the cove very nice for cleanup. The cove is created by gluing 3 pieces together, the main counter top, the backsplash and a piece that the cove is cut from. Normally the backsplash material is the same thickness as the countertop; just the countertop has been laminated together at the edges to create the look of a thicker material. Two points regarding the cove corner. First I have been advised that you need a fairly flat wall because there is no flexibility with the cove installation. If you wall is not fairly flat you will have gaps between the wall and backsplash. Secondly, because of the work involved, the price is very high. I have been quoted $30-40 per lineal foot....See Moredo you *have* to do the backsplash if you're doing corian?
Comments (23)It's actually built up and routed. I did not want any hard corners in my bathrooms. I don't believe the coving was $40-50 per foot upgrade because a couple of my shelves weren't much more expensive than that, total. I will try to look back and see....See Moreerinsean
