Redoing kitchen counters with rainforest green marble counters. We have Golden maple cabinets and floors. With stainless steel appliances. I have looked everywhere for examples of what has been used as a backsplash with RFG and can't find much. Right now I am leaning towards stainless steel mosaic tiles? I would really appreciate some advice with this! Thanks Much! Below I will post a picture of the actual slab being used to make the counters.

what backsplash?
Comments (26)We're with Valduff. Shades of purple and plum can really add depth to a chic scheme like yours. Particularly with your gorgeous counter top. Grey is also a good call, as it will coordinate with your kitchen units but allow room to add coloured accessories. It can depend on the light quality in your room- we always recommend grabbing some tester opts in a range of shades. Paint your walls or A4 sheets, and see what the colours look like as the light changes throughout the day....See MoreNeed help with backsplash.
Comments (20)Hello...great units...I've just ordered similar in cream (again!). In my last house we used bespoke acrylic sheets as splash back (and behind gas range) and I never had any problems with heat. However, for your own peace of mind you might want to get bespoke strengthened glass cut to size. I painted the inside of the acrylic sheet coral (to match the facing wall and it worked very well. This time I think I will use paper (gift wrap or similar...wallpaper might be too thick) with a small repeat pattern, perhaps a retro design, and paste this to the inside of the acrylic/glass. Affix with mirror screws and seal with clear sealant to prevent steam/condensation, etc... Acrylic is cheap to replace if your design preference changes after a few years....See MoreBacksplash dilemma
Comments (16)Have you considered a mirror? This would not only work well with your colour scheme but would provide a more spacious feel by reflecting the colours already in your kitchen. If you felt more adventurous tinted mirror glass. When using glass behind a cooker you can use plain or toughened for heat resistance but ultimately what should be considered is durability. In this location where it is likely that pots and pans could knock the splashback toughened should used. If you commissioned us for this installation then toughened glass would be provided as standard and we could explore different options for glass colour or backings if mirror didn't take your fancy.

Comments (4)An upstand sits on the worktop and is around 4" high. A splashback normally fits behind the hob area to prevent splashes ruining the wall. You can have one or both fitted....See More

10 years agoI like the idea of a neutral colored glass subway tile...and agree with other comments stating let the granite be the star of the show! Something like this would work nicely (see pic). It is by Puccini-Florida series-color: Daytona Beach. You could also use the granite as the backsplash as well... it makes for a really seamless look...but it's not for everyone. I find people either love that idea...or hate it!! I put a photo of the suggested glass tile and a room scene that uses a matching granite for backsplash so you can see how it looks. Good Luck! Would love to see what you select!!
