<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Protecting Your Kitchen
Having a tile backsplash on your kitchen counter is an effective and visually appealing way to protect your walls. In areas where water is frequently used, such as by the sink, it is all too easy to splash the wall. Overtime, this can lead to water damage and unsightly staining.
On the Other: Not Absolutely Necessary
In kitchens where installing a tile backsplash is not feasible, properly wiping down wet areas is typically enough to prevent damage. While this is extra work, it may be necessary if you cannot install a backsplash or you simply do not wish to go to the extra expense of adding this option to your kitchen.
Bottom Line
The amount of ceramic tile needed for a backsplash is minimal and, overall, this is a cost effective way to protect your kitchen walls. While it may not be necessary, it can increase the value of your home and reduce the amount of upkeep needed.
