What is a full-height stone backsplash?

It is a slab surface that extends farther up the wall than a traditional short backsplash. Depending on the design, it may run from the work surface to the upper cabinets or cover a larger feature area behind a range or sink.

Can my backsplash match my kitchen stone?

Yes. The same material may be used when slab availability and project requirements allow. A contrasting stone can also be selected to create a different focal point.

Can openings be made for electrical outlets in a stone backsplash?

Yes. Required openings can be incorporated during fabrication when their locations and dimensions are established accurately before the stone is cut.

Full-Height Stone Backsplashes Harrisonburg VA, Slab Style

A full-height stone backsplash replaces the smaller strip traditionally installed behind a work surface and carries the material farther up the wall. It can create a strong visual feature behind a range, sink or entire cabinet run while reducing the number of grout lines found with many tile installations. Marble and quartzite are especially expressive choices when natural veining is intended to become part of the room's design. Explore our natural stone collection for available options.

Slab layout becomes particularly important when stone is installed vertically. Veining can be positioned to relate to adjacent surfaces, while outlets, switches, cabinetry and range hoods may require carefully planned openings. Pairing the backsplash with kitchen countertops also creates opportunities to continue the same material or intentionally introduce a complementary slab.
