Back splash keep 4 inch granite from builder and add tile on top later.
													
																	Tile backsplash over 4 inch granite. 
									
	
		
	
																	Bottom line standard 4 in granite backsplash is a great convenient way to go. 
																	Using a 4 granite backsplash is a good way to keep water off of the wall. 
																	Four inch backsplash still leaves a large part of the wall open. 
																	This feature typical with laminate granite and solid. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	What is the difference between having a tile backsplash vs that 4 inches of granite and then just wall. 
																	No 4 backsplash for a custom counter. 
																	I have been obsessing about backsplash and your post gave me the courage to go with no backsplash. 
																	The countertop below is possibly 6 foot wide and the ceiling is maybe 8 foot tall. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	We did the 4 inch backsplash on all counters black granite too and tile up to the cabinets. 
																	If you don t want to do tile now or don t know what you want to do why don t you just not do the granite up the wall and do plain counters. 
																	That means you can choose an edgy paint color or try a trendy tile above the backsplash knowing that it can always be changed later down the road. 
																	On a side counter where the desk phone is it s just paint to the cabinets and on the bar area it s mirrored to the cabinets. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	If you are doing a full backsplash it should run from the counter to the cabinets imho. 
																	The granite you have picked is a nice composition and will look wonderful whichever way you decide. 
																	Tiling above the backsplash many countertops come with a partial backsplash that extends 4 to 6 inches above the surface of the countertops. 
																	The backsplash pulls it all together and the tiling on the messy parts is a definite plus and it looks good. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	The 4 is used in laminate prefabs granite prefabs no tile etc. 
																	Surprisingly i already have no backsplash just a 4 inch lip because there is 4 inches between the cabinet and the window over the kitchen sink. 
																	This can of course just be a bare wall that s painted for a little extra flair or it can be something even more creative. 
																	4 inch granite backsplash with tile above a 4 inch granite backsplash is a classic choice.
