"Kitchen design trends are ever-changing, and no place in your kitchen, not even your backsplash, is immune. For years, the go-to standard for backsplashes was tile, which is easy to fit into different spaces and allows for all kinds of unique and bold designs that can add character to your kitchen. But over the last few years, another trend has reared its head and started to replace tile as the dream choice on everyone's Pinterest boards: the slab backsplash."
"Slab backsplashes are called that because, unlike tiles that are made up of many pieces fit together, slab backsplashes are single blocks of material that cover a wall space with no interruption. Often made from quartz, marble, and other popular kitchen countertop materials, slab backsplashes have gotten popular because of their clean and more minimalist design, along with the natural looks of the stones used."
Slab backsplashes use single large pieces of materials such as quartz, marble, or granite to cover wall areas without seams. They deliver a clean, minimalist aesthetic and prominently display the natural stone patterns. Slab installations require specialized cutting, heavy lifting, and expert installers, making them unsuitable for most DIY projects. Material prices are markedly higher, with quartz or marble near $90 per square foot and granite $50–$75, while tile remains substantially cheaper. Additional professional installation and repair costs further increase total expense and limit budget flexibility and design variety.
