Full-height stone or tile · Charlotte, NC
Looking for backsplash installation Charlotte NC? Run your countertop stone up the wall with no grout lines, or choose a tile pattern that adds texture. Either way, the crew that installs your countertop finishes the wall behind it.
We provide backsplash installation in Charlotte, NC in two forms: full-height stone backsplashes, often cut from the same slab as your countertop, and tile backsplashes in the pattern you choose. Full-height stone backsplashes are a strong trend in kitchen design right now because they remove grout lines and let the veining continue up the wall. We install the backsplash after the countertop, with the same crew and on the same estimate.
Two ways to finish the wall
Stone makes the wall and counter read as one surface; tile adds a second material and a pattern. Both are installed by our crew.
Full-Height Stone
Cut from your countertop slab when it has enough material, so the veins run from counter to ceiling. No grout to scrub.

Tile
Subway, herringbone, zellige-style and more, for color or texture the countertop doesn't have.

Height is the decision that most changes the look and the amount of material. Choose it before you choose the stone or tile.
| Height | Look | Material needed | Works best when |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4-inch strip | Simple, traditional | Least | The wall above is painted or will get tile later |
| To the upper cabinets | Finished, balanced | Moderate | You have wall cabinets along most of the run |
| Full height behind the range | A focal point | Moderate | The hood wall is the star of the kitchen |
| Full height, wall to ceiling | Continuous, high-end | Most | Open shelving or no upper cabinets |
A backsplash meets outlets, windows and the countertop itself. Settling these points early keeps the wall clean.
Stone adds thickness to the wall. Your electrician may need box extenders so covers sit flush.
Decide if the stone wraps the window as a sill, so we cut it from the same slab.
