backsplash tile

Counter's vertical protector

Backsplash tile is tile installed on the wall behind a countertop, especially in kitchens and bathrooms, to protect against water and food splashes.

The term refers both to individual tiles and to the installed surface as a whole: We're choosing backsplash tile for the kitchen renovation.

Subway tile and mosaic are popular backsplash styles.
