Is that a glass backsplash behind the grill?

    Hello and thanks for the question. No, glass here would be vulnerable to cracking due to the heat from the grille (see before photos in this portfolio for an indication of what can happen in these installations). I believe we used a honed slate with metal accent drops in this installation.
