The idea behind having a backsplash began with wanting to protect your walls from splashes, sputters, and spills. It started with basic ceramic tile but overtime, creative homeowners began using other materials like glass or metal tile, brick, porcelain and stone. As a matter of fact, it’s hard to imagine a kitchen without this design staple. Progressive Dimensions are experts in installing natural and quartz stone backsplashes in kitchens and bathrooms and can attest to its ability to be an attractive focal point in these rooms. The standard size for a backsplash is 4 inches and can compliment your design nicely. A full high backsplash in the same color as your tops helps you achieve both beauty and continuity. But you can also use a dramatic contrasting color. Whichever way you choose is never wrong.
Man made quartz is a great option for backsplashes. Not only are they extremely durable, low maintenance and hygienic, they also come in gorgeous colors with dramatic or subtle veining. In fact, luxury brand Cambria, has developed printed quartz, which delivers crisp high definition color perfect for design enthusiasts who like to be on trend.
Backsplashes made of natural stone are stylish and timeless. Pairing it with a matching floating shelf is a favorite design technique while a heavily veined marble kitchen is a chef’s dream. Adding stone behind your oven is another design option. Your kitchen could be as traditional or as modern as you want it to be.
Natural stone and quartz are relatively easy to maintain. Progressive Dimensions recommends you use dish soap and water or a non abrasive glass cleaner to clean your tops and backsplash. If you seal your natural stone with our 15 year sealer, you should be in the clear for worry-free use.

Calacatta Luccia is a gorgeous quartz color from MSI. Calacatta is popular because it looks like marble without worrying about stains and scratches. What it does have is dramatic veining in “greige,” which is my way to describe the beautiful blending of gray and beige on a creamy, white background. I like using it as statement pieces like island waterfalls or other contemporary designs like shower walls or tub surrounds. Wood cabinets are trending now and when paired with Calacuttta Luccia it gives you that warm cozy feeling. It’s a nice neutral so most cabinet colors will match beautifully. Make Calacatta Luccia your choice for your remodel and bring modern elegance to your home.
