My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Concerns with white backsplash?

14 years ago
We have a similar range with the fan at the back. We use the range fan when we use the oven. Any difficulties with staining on the tile behind the range?

    Depending on what is cooked, be concerned about airborne grease on the vertical surfaces above the range. The upper cabinets are too close to the range. With a 30" range the vent hood should be at least 36", IMO.

      No, the tile is glazed, which makes the tile stain-resistant. The bigger concern is the grout - which is porous and can easily stain unless properly sealed.

      I keep coming back to this picture as I plan the replacement of our backsplash tile - what color is this Ann Sacks tile? Thanks
    • 13 years ago
      I would also love to know what color the Ann Sacks back splash is. Is it true white?
