• If you are making your mind for a new kitchen
  backsplash as a part of a kitchen renovation or
  just replacing your existing one, then there are
  many materials to choose from. Deciding on one
  that will best suit your kitchen can be difficult
  when you may see the options.
• Tiles
• Tiles were once the most common material used for
  kitchen backsplash, and they are now making a big
  comeback, because of the range of colours,
  patterns and materials now available. Putting a
  price on your tiled kitchen backsplash can be
  difficult though, as the cost of tiles varies
  greatly.

• Toughened Glass
• Toughened glass backsplash are the best widely
  used backsplash selection now with good reason.
  Toughened glass is easy to clean is available
  in an almost infinite range of prints colours.
  Glass backsplash in a kitchen need to be
  toughened, to guarantee that they can withstand
  the heat from cooktops. Toughened glass is a
  safety glass which, if broken, crumbles into
  small granular pieces instead of shattering into
  sharp edgy pieces, like regular glass would.

• Mirrored Glass
• Mirrored glass backsplash are again a very
  popular choice. They really help to open up a
  space by bouncy cove light and reflections around
  the room. The mirror is not the clear one like
  your regular bathroom mirror. It has a smoky
  tint, making it much more appealing for use in
  the kitchen. Mirrored glass backsplash are a
  safety glass treated in the same way as toughened
  glass backsplash, so they are an excellent choice
  for kitchens and safe for use behind your
  cooktop.

• Acrylic
• Acrylic backsplash gives you the illusion of
  glass, but they are a more cost-effective
  alternative and you can install them yourself.
  Unlike glass they cannot be installed directly
  behind cooktops, unless you use some additional
  protection in the form of a toughened glass or
  stainless steel plate behind the cooktop.

• Stone
• Stone is a very less common backsplash material
  but has started gaining popularity. You can use
  the same stone material on your backsplash as the
  one used for your countertop, if you decide on
  this material. This creates a continuous, elegant
  opulent look in the kitchen. But if you do
  decide to go with this backsplash option, it is
  advisable to have both your countertop and
  backsplash installed at the same time, so that
  they can both be made from the same batch of
  stone to avoid any colour variations.

• Stainless Steel
• Stainless steel backsplash adds a contemporary
  industrial touch to a kitchen. The fact that
  stainless steel is used in commercial kitchens is
  testament to its stability hygienic qualities.
  Stainless steel backsplash are another option
  that you can install yourself it is completely
  safe to use behind cooktops. Some people will
  choose to have a stainless steel backsplash
  behind their cooktop only, and use another
  material such as acrylic or even tiles on the
  rest of the backsplash areas.
