Magma granite countertops installed in Charlotte, NC for homeowner Kandel. The tile backsplash just installed fit his granite perfectly! When you install granite countertops that have a lot of color and movement, sometimes it can be hard to find a backsplash that will compliment the granite stone. A 'busy' backsplash with too much color variation or movement will sometimes take attention away from your new granite countertops. The backsplash Mr. Kandel chose fit his granite perfectly, as you can see in the photos and granite video below:

Here is a look at Mr. Kandel's kitchen before the granite and tile:

Here is Mr. Kandel's kitchen AFTER with new granite countertops and tile backsplash:

Granite comes in a variation of colors. The granite featured here is called "Magma". Magma is an exotic granite color, meaning it has a lot of movement and different color variations between slabs. Given that each slab will have different color and movement, this is why a standard granite backsplash would be difficult to install using this granite type. It would be hard to match up the colors on the countertops with the color in the backsplash, and even the backsplash pieces may not have the same granite colors to line up (depending on how much material you have of the granite to use and how much you would like to spend), for example:



In Mr. Kandel's specific situation, the best choice was to install a tile backsplash. This gave Mr. Kandel more options with his kitchen's design. The backsplash installed accents his granite countertop perfectly without taking away from the granite. :)
