Posted by Adam Susky on July 14th, 2021

Every home has a kitchen. We all know the purpose of the kitchen. Over the past few decades, it became considered the epicenter of the house. It is where most people start every morning with coffee, we cook and eat there, entertain friends, play with kids, and many more. So for those reasons, the kitchen should be designed carefully and thoughtfully. More often people try to make a center point in the kitchen by installing a unique backsplash.

A backsplash is a very useful part placed behind the hob. It can be made from stone, ceramic or metal tiles. Metal wall tiles became popular as they make your kitchen look stylish and unique.

One of the most popular metals to create backsplash is stainless steel

Here are few reasons why using stainless steel tiles for backsplash is a good idea

Corrosion resistance

Stainless steel backsplash can be perfect to be placed behind the cooker as it is resistant to corrosion. Once thoughtfully designed, it will last many years.

High and low-temperature resistance

A very important aspect when choosing stainless steel tiles as a backsplash is high and low-temperature resistance. That makes the wall well protected and saves you from repainting it over and over.

Functionality

Stainless steel backsplash is a practical choice for your kitchen. It will protect your wall behind the cooker from any spills while cooking. It is durable as it is reducing the risk of mould and long-lasting as well as hygienic as it is preventing the bacteria to spread.

Metal wall art at home

A backsplash is not only a practical element of any kitchen but also plays a decorative part. Stainless steel can become a beautiful metal wall art in the centre of your kitchen. It can be made of different shapes and sizes tiles or from one piece of stainless steel sheet with a unique design on it.

Easy maintenance

Maintenance of stainless steel backsplash doesn’t have to give you a headache but make sure you clean it properly to prevent a build-up of grease from cooking.

To keep your stainless steel tiles clean and shiny you will need white vinegar, an empty spray bottle, olive oil, cloth, or paper towels. Simply pour some vinegar into a spray bottle for easier distribution, spry over your backsplash, and wipe with a paper towel. This will get rid of any dirt. To make your backsplash shiny, just use a very small amount of olive oil and rub it into the tiles with a cloth or paper towel. If the surface you just treated becomes oily or sticky, it means too much oil was used. As for any dried food and more stubborn stains simply prepare a paste from bicarbonate soda and water and rub it into the areas that need cleaning. Leave it for 30 minutes and wipe with a damp cloth, and at the end wipe it dry to prevent any unnecessary watermarks from occurring.

 If you want to spend time in a beautiful, simple but modern kitchen then choose stainless steel tiles for the backsplash. This metal will also make your space look bigger and brighter as it reflects light.
