What We Install

A backsplash that looks built-in.

A backsplash is small but seen every day. The difference is in the layout, the cuts and the edges.

Subway & Brick Patterns

Classic running bond, stacked or vertical layouts in glossy, matte or handmade-look tile.

Herringbone & Chevron

Patterns set out from a centre line so they meet the range hood and window symmetrically.

Mosaic & Zellige-Look

Small-format and textured tile with the variation that makes a kitchen feel crafted.

Large-Format & Slab-Look

Big porcelain panels for a near-seamless, easy-to-clean wall behind the range.

Clean Edges

Metal edge profiles, mitred corners or bullnose tile where the backsplash ends, and tidy cuts around outlets and switches.

Stain-Resistant Grout

Epoxy or high-performance grout behind the stove and sink. See our grout guide.

Questions

Backsplash FAQ.

How much does a kitchen backsplash cost in Ottawa?

A tiled kitchen backsplash in Ottawa typically starts at about $1,200, depending on the length of wall, the tile, the pattern and how many outlets, windows and edges need cutting and finishing. See the Ottawa cost guide.

Should the backsplash go in before or after the countertop?

After. The backsplash sits on top of the countertop, so the countertop is installed first and the tile starts from it. The joint between the countertop and the tile is finished with a flexible sealant rather than grout.

Which grout is best for a kitchen backsplash?

Behind a stove and sink, a stain-resistant grout such as epoxy or a high-performance cement grout is worth it, because it resists grease and food stains and is easier to keep clean.

Can I see my backsplash before it is installed?

Yes. The Agora Design Studio lets you try tile collections, colours, patterns and grout in a 3D kitchen, then send us the design for a quote.
