Slab Backsplashes

Single-slab backsplashes in stone, quartz or porcelain, with no grout lines and a seamless, modern look.

A slab backsplash replaces dozens of tiles with a single sheet of material. Without grout lines, the wall looks clean and the surface is easy to wipe. The slab can match the counter, continue its veining or contrast in color. Slab backsplashes are common behind ranges, along sink walls and in bars. They are also a place where mistakes show, because the slab is large, outlets and shelves must be cut precisely and the wall must be flat. Homeowners in Nashville choose slab backsplashes for a modern, easy-care look.

We measure the wall carefully and plan the cuts around outlets, windows, hoods and shelves. We map the pattern on the slab so veining flows, and we choose thickness to suit the weight and the look. We fabricate and polish the pieces, deliver them with care and set them with the right adhesives and supports. Joints between pieces are tight and color-matched, and edges at windows and shelves are polished. We finish with a neat caulk joint at the countertop and clean the surface.

Fewer joints

A slab wall has few seams, so the look is clean and cleaning is simple, but the cuts must be right the first time.

Flat wall needed

Large pieces show wall defects, so we check the wall and level it where needed before installing.

Pattern planning

Veins and movement are mapped for the whole wall, so the pattern flows from the counter or from piece to piece.

Weight and supports

Slab is heavy on a wall, and we use adhesives and fasteners that suit the material and the substrate.
