What Backsplash Tiles Go Well With Silestone?

Tumbled Marble

• Tumbled marble can be a good choice when compared against Silestone because it provides a contrasting material to bring out the natural beauty of the stone as well as the perfection of the countertops. Tumbled marble tiles range in size from 1-inch squares that are part of larger sheets, all the way up to large-bodied tiles that can be 16 inches or larger. With a wide range of colors, you can choose a similarly-colored marble or an off-color to bring out even more contrasts.

Honed Travertine

• If you are looking for a smoothed, natural finish, honed travertine can be the perfect tile to compliment your Silestone countertop. A classic choice, travertine is one of the most durable natural stones on the market. While the colors range in the creamy, earth tones, it can complement your countertop if the right selection of colors is made, although the perfect combination depends on the individual.

Polished Granite

• Polished granite may be considered by some to be the perfect tile to use on a backsplash matching a Silestone countertop. The two materials look and feel almost exactly the same in terms of mirrored sheen and non-porous surface, and with a full range of colors in both materials you can mix and match at your discretion until you find the perfect combination. Similar to other tiles, marbles can be found in a wide range of shapes and sizes.

Ceramic Tile

• The contemporary choice if you are working within a budget and cannot afford natural stone tiles for your backsplash, ceramic tiles come in virtually any color, shape or size. They can be installed straight, on a diagonal or as part of an inset, or they can be hand-painted to create a custom mural across the length of the backsplash. While cheaper than natural stone tiles, ceramic tile still is highly durable and can be matched to any color or style of Silestone countertop.
