Full-Height Stone Backsplashes

Stone backsplashes that run from the countertop to the cabinets or ceiling, with matching veining.

A full-height stone backsplash runs from the countertop all the way up, to the bottom of the wall cabinets or to the ceiling. It is a bold choice that turns a wall into a feature and makes cleaning easy, since there are no grout lines. The stone can match the counter for a seamless look or contrast with it for drama. It takes planning, because the pieces are large, outlets and windows must be cut cleanly and veining should flow across the wall. Homeowners in Nashville use full-height stone to create a showpiece behind the range and sink.

We design the wall with you, deciding how far up the stone will go and how pieces will meet. We map the cuts on the slab so veining flows between counter and wall, and we plan openings for outlets, switches and ventilation. We template the wall, fabricate and polish the pieces and install them with the right adhesives and supports, since stone is heavy on a vertical surface. We seal joints and the edge at the counter. We coordinate with electricians if outlet boxes need to be adjusted.

Wall as a feature

A full-height splash shows the stone off, and it can match the counter for a calm look or stand apart for impact.

Veining that flows

We plan the cut so veining continues from the counter into the wall, and we place seams where they will be least visible.

Heavy on a wall

Stone is heavy, so we use the right adhesives and mechanical supports, and we check that the wall can carry the load.

Outlets and openings

Openings for outlets, switches and vents are cut precisely, and we coordinate with the electrician for box depth.
