For the longest time I could not commit to what type of backsplash that I wanted for the kitchen because my favorite was to have a glass kitchen backsplash but my original home contractor said it was a risky idea. He told me that the durability of glass was not as great when compared to other options on the market. My problem is that I did not like the other options as much so I decided to wait. Now it seems like there are a lot more glass options available and they are as durable if not more so for the kitchen area.
