Why Pair a New Backsplash With New Countertops?

Backsplash installation itself takes two to three days, and you choose tile and slabs at the Bell Road showroom.

The Installation Process

Prep: the wall is cleaned and leveled, and outlets and edges are measured so tile meets the counter and cabinets cleanly.
Setting: tile is set in thinset with consistent spacing, cut precisely around outlets, windows, and the range.
Grout: once the thinset cures, the tile is grouted. Sealed grout resists the mineral spotting that Phoenix's hard water leaves around the sink and range, so grout sealing is worth discussing in your estimate.

At RDC, a standard kitchen backsplash takes two to three days, and RDC tells customers to allow 24 to 48 hours for thinset and grout to cure.

Sealed grout resists that spotting and staining better, so ask about grout sealing when you get your written estimate.
