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.

Use as a kitchen backsplash?

8 years ago
Thinking of getting this for our kitchen backsplash. Would it be appropriate? Can it be cut with a wet tile saw? Will it require grout once mortared to the wall?

Thanks@

    Hi Abby,

    Thanks for your questions! This tile would work great as a backsplash. We would recommend cutting this tile with a wet tile saw and diamond tipped blade for the best cut. This tile does require grout to install.
