How Much Stone Backsplash Should I Order?

Edited by Admin

I am purchasing a stone back splash that I shall be installing myself in my kitchen. How much extra should I be purchasing if I want to cover 20 square feet? Is there a rule of thumb that I can follow whenever I order stone back splashes?

 
Thanks!

At Interstone Marble and Granite, we like to think that the rule of thumb when buying materials is 15% – 20% extra for wastage. If you have a bit left over from the installation, it’s a good idea to hang onto it just in case something should happen. Natural stone can vary in color, therefore, if you need more, your material may be discontinued or from a different batch thus not matching with your existing stone. Have fun with your project! I’m sure you’re going to love it.

Ordering extra stone backsplash is awesome advice!
I cant imagine what it would be like to not have back ups in case something were to occur. Yup extra stone backsplash is a must!
