Should I have a backsplash?

FAQ'S for Silestone and Granite St. Louis MO
Most people choose at least a 4" or full backsplash in Silestone or Granite to match their countertops, if it is financially feasible. Others choose to go with a tile backsplash. One of the disadvantages to a tile backsplash is that there is a joint where the grout meets the countertop. If this area is not maintained by caulking occasionally, water can drip down into the cabinets through cracks in the grout.
