Ceramic tiles offer a huge variety of design possibilities. They come in a vast array of colors, textures and finishes.

The tools needed are not many, something to cut the tile with, a square, a trowel, something to measure with, a tile snip tool for small cuts, grout, tile, cement, a grout float, sponge.GRANITE
The most durable natural stone for backsplashes is granite. However, it should be resealed twice a year to maintain protection from moisture.
