Range recommended backsplash or tile?

15 years ago

We decided on the 36" Wolf Dual Fuel Range (w/grill). There is a 10" stainless Steel backsplash that is recommended. I was thinking of doing white subway tile ( we have cherry cabs & jet mist granite.

Do people get the grill on their range & not have the SS BS? I think I have seen pictures with a tile BS.

I'm having trouble deciding on the ss bs or just tile.

Any ideas? Any pics?

Btw cabs got installed today as well as doors & trim. I'll be cooking in no time!

    The 10 inch SS BS was "recommended" to me as well when I bought my Wolf rangetop. I don't have the grill but I don't see why that would make a difference. I think it's an aesthetic choice and there's no functional reason to use theirs as opposed to a BS of your choosing. I used a marble mosaic and I love it; it cleans up as easily as SS would and I'm a fairly splashy cook. (Apologies to those of you who are tired of looking at this picture!)

    Our is a vintage Chambers stove that has its own highback backsplash built in. I love the integrated look and it cleans up easily with no worries (stove not installed yet, but I use the area for prep in the meantime). You can always install a bs around/above it if you want... Since you were doing simple white tiles, it is not like you are giving up a "feature" there anyway.
    Sharonite's pic is gorgeous though, so YMMV.

    Sharonite that backsplash is absolutely beautiful!!

    I'm still not sure...

    One more pic: I was on a tile store website while answering another question and noticed this picture of the 36" DF Wolf range with griddle and just a tile backsplash! I don't think adding the Wolf SS BS would look bad at all, but thought you'd like to see something more similar to your range with the tile only option.

    The dual fuel range comes with island trim which is about 2 inches tall. I am getting the 60 inch DF Wolf, and I am doing a subway tile backsplash on top of the island trim.

    Wow the 60!! That's going to be fantastic!! I didn't know about the "island trim" I don't see anything about that in the specs...

    My dealer told me that they were standard on dual fuel, but not on the all gas.
