guide to stainless steel backsplashes

Stainless Steel Backsplash

Stainless steel is the new black. Well, not really, but it's the new trend in kitchen design. Stainless steel splashbacks are becoming increasingly popular and for good reason. A stainless backsplash is elegant, sophisticated, and most importantly, practical.

Stainless steel is practically indestructible, so you don't have to worry about scratches or stains. Plus, it's easy to clean and maintain. If you're thinking of updating your kitchen countertop, a stainless steel splashback is the way to go!

Why choose a stainless steel backsplash?

A stainless steel splashback in modern kitchens serves a variety of purposes. The main function of the backsplash is to create a wet-free splash zone, as it acts as a barrier between the wall and water that has been splashed around the sink. It's not only crucial, but it also adds an interesting dimension to the room.

When you pick the appropriate stainless steel splashback, your kitchen may be transformed from nothing to—essentially—everything. The distinctiveness of certain backsplashes may also impact the mood in the kitchen. 
Metal backsplash, for example, provides an industrial feel, with its hemmed edges, whereas rock backsplash creates a natural one.

A custom size stainless steel backsplash in your kitchen may be costly, but it will add a contemporary urban chic feel to the room and still complement most color palettes and design styles. 

These guidelines, pros, and drawbacks can assist you in deciding if this is the right kitchen stainless steel splashback for you and your kitchen appliances.

Kitchen Backsplash Design

Stainless steel backsplashes are appealing due to their practicality, they are simple to clean up the grease and grime, spills, and splashes of everyday cooking, and they have a stylish rounded edge look.

Stainless Steel Tiles: A kitchen backsplash made of stainless steel tile is just as beautiful as one made of marble or ceramic. The only limit to your creativity is the extent of your imagination. Whether you want a hemmed edge or a rounded edge, you decide how your perfect backsplash should look.

You could tile the entire custom size backsplash in one pattern of stainless steel tile, combine with stone and glass or other materials with construction adhesive, or use any number of techniques to decorate it.

Perhaps you want heavy-duty or light-duty stainless steel tiles only over the cooktop and sink with a mosaic design or mural elsewhere on the wall.
Stainless Steel Sheets: Stainless steel splashbacks are frequently used in restaurants to make a sleek kitchen backsplash (countertops and sinks too) that can take a lot of abuse due to their thickness of the back splash, and is simple to clean. 

This ultra-modern style looks great when installed with stainless steel appliances, which are still popular among homeowners.

Many Design Options. For your stainless steel, zinc, brass, tin, or copper backsplash, a competent stainless steel fabricator can offer a variety of surface textures including hammered, quilted, or ribbed, with either a hemmed edge or rounded edge finish.

Pros & Cons of Stainless Steel Backsplash

Advantages of stainless steel backsplash

Easy To Clean.
Stainless steel is one of the most straightforward materials to clean (research shows that granite is the cleanest). Cleaning with hot water, soap, and a sponge usually works.
Use a soft scouring pad (not steel wool) for a tough mess if necessary. You don't need to seal it, wax it, or oil it, but ensure that it is dry before consuming acidic foods (tomato, citrus, coffee).

Affordable.

Stainless steel has a stylish, modern look that everyone is searching for. Its futuristic aspect may mislead people into believing it is costly. In reality, stainless steel backsplash is less expensive than stone backsplash. Sheet metal is pretty inexpensive.

Heat resistant.
Stainless steel backsplashes are heat resistant, making them ideal for use in the kitchen. They are also easy to clean and maintain, making them a low-maintenance option for busy families.

Durable.
This is a type of concrete that's great for individuals who want something that will last. It can reduce mold risks, making it more long-lasting. In addition, its metallic appearance is attractive to look at.

No need to keep polishing.
Stainless steel sheets or tiles do not require polishing to keep their gleam, as opposed to copper, zinc, chrome or brass, which oxidize and color and can leave finger prints.

Easy installation.
Sometimes, we need to spend extra money on a specialist to install a backsplash. Stainless steel is a lightweight material that is simple to put up. It can be installed with either screws or construction adhesive.

Hygienic.
Stainless steel backsplashes are very easy to keep clean and hygienic. This is because they are non-porous, so bacteria and dirt cannot become trapped in the surface. They are also stain-resistant, so you do not have to worry about spills and splatters ruining the look of your kitchen.
Disadvantages of stainless steel backsplash

Can stain.
Although it is simple to clean, stains must always be dealt with promptly, especially if they are caused by tomatoes or lemons, which are acidic foods. The stains would likely damage the backsplash quickly if left for a longer period. Using incorrect cleaning chemicals can also result in this type of damage, so you must be cautious.

Needs support.
Even though stainless steel backsplash is long-lasting, it requires strong and sturdy support to be effective. The backsplash's durability must be bolstered by a robust and solid foundation. If the foundation isn't substantial enough, the stainless steel splashback may get dented, resulting in an annoying noise that you don't want to hear.

Needs the right accompanying decor to look good.

If utilized with the wrong furniture design, stainless steel backsplash may appear chilly and perhaps rigid. This effect is due to stainless steel's tendency to become cold as it gets used over time.

Dents and scratches.
Unfortunately, dents and scratches are common on stainless steel splashbacks and other metal surfaces. Don't expect your stainless steel or any other metal backsplash to remain flawless.

Final Thoughts on Stainless Steel Backsplash

Stainless steel is not a recently introduced kitchen design solution, but it's a well-known material that has been in use for many years.

It has recently recovered much of its previous glory as a result of contemporary minimalist trends that are winning over homeowners' hearts.

Stainless steel may look elegant, but it can also provide effective protection for your sink or cooktop.

 Steel fulfills the function of a long-lasting protector that is both corrosion- and stain-resistant when utilized behind the sink or stove.

Wipe it clean with warm water and soap, and its superb light reflection characteristics will make your kitchen seem larger.

The larger the steel surface, the easier it is to clean, and you won't have to worry about cracks or grout like you would with other materials.

Not only that, but you have a lot of alternatives to pick from, including ones that look fantastic when combined with stone, marble, or glass.


Stainless steel is one of the most cost-effective kitchen makeover choices, yet it still seems high-end and elegant.

Whether you're planning to construct a new home or simply renovate your kitchen, don't forget to consider stainless steel backsplash! 

It'll give your cooking space an updated look that will make meal prep more enjoyable than ever.
