Today we are featuring a guest post by Shahab Shokouh of Dulles Glass and Mirror concerning glass backsplashes. Enjoy:
Glass backsplashes are the perfect way to keep dirt and grime off your kitchen walls. They are easy to clean, they keep the kitchen shiny and bright, and they can be custom colored in a variety of hues.
Back-painted glass is installed by your local glass and mirror company and is available in different applications: painted glass backsplashes, colored glass countertops, kitchen islands, colored glass tabletops, glass cabinet inserts, and decorative glass walls.
The ability to custom color the glass to match furnishings makes them perfect for interior designers.

If your kitchen lacks natural light, one option is installing LED lighting along with your glass backsplashes. Not only will this give a space modern flare, but also provides a source of light for nighttime trips to the kitchen.

If you’re looking to go green in your kitchen remodeling, consider going with recycled glass ceramic backsplashes. These are made of 100% recycled glass and look like a combination of glass and natural stone.

If you your kitchen features stainless steel appliances and you would like a coordinating shade, opt for color matching your glass backsplashes with a shiny grey or white. You can even purchase matching switch plates and outlets for that seamless look.
At the end of the day, custom glass backsplashes brighten up your kitchen, keep it cleaner, more modern, and very unique.
