BACKSPLASH

We often forget backsplashes, which are actually very useful both for their esthetical aspect and the general maintenance of the kitchen. This material is used to protect the wall's surface and to make it easier to clean. There are several materials and installation methods for backsplashes. You will find relevant information in these articles: 

LIGHTING

KITCHEN FLOOR

Flooring materials that are used in the kitchen must be very resistant to various elements. As one may imagine, kitchen floors are exposed to potentially damaging elements such as water, grease and dust. It is important to make sure that the surface is easy to clean and that the material will stay in good shape despite being exposed to these elements.
