What is meant by backsplash? A backsplash is a protective vertical surface installed on the wall directly behind a sink, countertop, or stove. Its primary function is to shield the wall from accidental splashes of water, grease, or food, making it easier to clean and preventing damage to the drywall or paint.
What is a tile backsplash? A tile backsplash is simply a backsplash where the protective material used is ceramic, porcelain, glass, or natural stone tiles. Tile is the most common material because it is non-porous (or sealed), highly durable, and allows for endless design customization.
Is backsplash the same as tiles? No, the terms are related but different. Tile is the material (the individual piece of ceramic or stone). Backsplash is the area or application where the tile is installed. For example, you can use tile to create a backsplash, but you can also use tile on a floor or a full wall.
What is better, splashback or tiles? The term splashback is simply the british term for backsplash in the us. Therefore, the choice isn't between the terms but between the material used. Tiles are highly favored because they offer superior water resistance, are easy to clean, and provide the most design versatility compared to materials like painted drywall or a simple solid-surface slab.
