backsplash needed for taj crema countertops

Need a countertop for my countertop. I don’t want to take away from the countertop

    Use slabs of your countertop material for the backsplash. That enhances the impression with the full on view. You should map out how the counter pattern relates to the wall slab and map the cuts with your fabricator to avoid disappointments.

    Same thing up the walls.

    Would have loved to. But it is 50 square feet and he wanted 5,000 for the backsplash. It is a condo I use 3 months out of the year. Thank you

    Hi happy legs that would be the whole backsplah . the kitchen is very small. if i would have put the microwave and cabinets over the stove there would’t be that much at all. might have been able to do it. flo suggested tiles. it was $$$ to do the backsplash

    Nature Taj Mahal Porcelain Wall and Floor Tile - 12 x 24 in. - The Tile Shop

    You can get a sample and see how it looks. $400. Maybe it's OK for 3 months. OR I'd make-up full size templates of the different spaces you need to cover. Get all your scrap material. ID where it came from. Shop some other fabricators for a better price.

    Dan, i have been to 3 or 4 tile places here looking for something similar i had no luck. i have searched the internet for the taj crema and very few dealers have it. The ones that did have it had no remnants. i would have to buy the whole slab. the problem is i am in chicago and the condo is in florida. I went to floor and decor because they have stores in most of the states. i was lucky enough to find something i like there. i ended up not using them because they were not reliable and just couldn’t wait for them. my contractor found a vender that was able to get it for me. i had to pay more from them, but it was worth it. had it done in 10 days. I tried hard trying to find one that matched. since this is a new quartz it is almost impossible to find remnants.

    I’d use paint, it’s surprisingly resistant to messes and easily redone. Add a framed picture or two, and a stainless panel behind the range.

    Someone used this tile with it - it appears to be Bedrosian Cloe White tile (it comes in 2.5 x 8 or 5 x 5). In this photo, the Cloe White looks like it has a strong taupe tone to it - however, I have it installed in my guest bathroom, and it does not have a taupe tone. It might be the lighting?

    The solutions include to pay a certain amount buying a slab and have the job completed. Or pay a little to paint the wall to make the space usable and find another fabricator to supply the product when more remnants turn up or at a better price. Add a lesser cost in the future . Looking for a new more reasonable priced person is worth exploring. Set the budget and include that in your search. Thin porcelain slab material may offer an option at a quality level similar to tile.

    There have been dozens of Dilemmas about matching Taj with a backsplash. See if you can find some of them that had happy endings. I also suggest looking on TileBar.com for tiles since they send 5 samples for $5 and have A LOT of possible backsplash tiles for your countertop. Since every Taj is unique it is hard to make specific tile suggestions.

    Can you post more photos of your countertop?

    My niece has quartz and she hates it. She got the white with veins. She says her stains. I am not crazy about quartz either but didn’t want to invest in quartzite since I am only here a few months. I know you have to be careful.

    Do you think gray or a black will stain?

  • 2 years ago

    it is light but has an overall pattern. I don’t think I will have a problem. Just have to be careful with you anything acidic I think and can’t put real hot pans on it

  • 2 years ago

    I have a couple places on my countertops that have clear glass cutting board that I put hot things on or I leave it on my cook stove if I need more room for things I have a glass top cook stove

    Here are three ideas from TileBar. Monitors aren’t always accurate, but these three might be a start. The names of the tiles are in the photos.

    Maybe you can get something on the medium range of dark like a tan with multi design in it would be good

    Have to order samples to really tell thank you

    Ran across this today for you. A bit pricey but would create interest without overwhelming look. Plus, you don’t need that much and is available thru Floor and Decor.

    I have Taj Mahal w daltile subway tile it’s a very light cream almost white.. staggered it doesn’t take away from the stone.

    I didn’t end up installing Taj, but I still have my sample. Here it is with the tile I just had installed which comes in a few colors. It is MS I Urbano Glossy Crema.

    It was done 7 years ago but still looks timeless.. I’m using something very similar in a new construction now with fantasy brown.
