Vanity

KMS Woodworks on Apr 10, 2012I prefer the "look" of side splashes...others don't. If the vanity is granite a precise fit can be had but if it is off...rather than tweaking the slab the wall often gets modified...then it becomes necessary to patch or cover that.Helpful Reply

The Kitchen and Bath Showroom on Apr 10, 2012You don't have to have them by any means but they do tend to give it that "finished" look as well as conceal any spaces where the granite doesn't meet the wall perfectly. With the vanity being wall-locked, I would encourage you to go with the sidesplashes.Helpful Reply

Burco Surface & Decor LLC. on Apr 10, 2012It will definitely give it that finished look! I dont think it looks that good just going straight to the wall. Its hard to describe it better than "it looks finished." i will see if i have some before and after photos to show you how the back splash and side splash make such a big difference. Here is a picture with a vanity we did that had the back & side splash.Helpful Reply

Becky H on Apr 11, 2012Another option would be to tile the walls around the vanity after the counter goes in. Basically, anything that will close any gaps between the wall and counter, not that the counter is not cut precisely, but walls are not always plumb.Helpful Reply

Angel C on Apr 11, 2012I was thinking of that for an option. That is what is there now but it goes up the wall pretty high which makes the mirror higher. Not a big deal but I want to put it a little lower since it is the kids bathroom. I could do a thinner boarder of tile I suppose.Helpful Reply

Straight Nails Construction on Apr 11, 2012If you are going to put a backsplash (tile or another surface) on the entire side and back walls, I say no. It is my opinion that it is a much cleaner look if you have a slab of granite with back splash above. If not... def use a back/side splash.Helpful Reply

HandyANDY - Handyman & All Repairs, LLC on Apr 12, 2012You want them...even with minimal use, the walls will get splashed and stained up without them...unless you are planning to run tile down the side walls?Helpful Reply
