Porcelain Slab Kitchen Backsplash on Long Beach Island, NJ

This kitchen came to us through the same builder behind our Long Beach Island fireplace wall, one who sends us a lot of work. For as long as Karen had lived in the house, the wall behind her counters had been painted, and paint just doesn’t stand up to steam, splashes and cooking oil. She wanted a real backsplash that would protect the walls and wipe clean.

Karen picked Calacatta Oro, a bright white porcelain slab with soft gray and gold veining, and we ran it at full height from the countertops to the cabinets. With no grout lines, there’s nothing behind the range or the sink to stain.

It was a simple swap, and our crew installed the whole backsplash in one day.
