Full height or a simple upstand?
A low upstand gives the worktop a defined edge. A taller splashback makes more of the chosen surface. Consider windows, shelving and cabinetry when deciding where the stone should begin and end.
The finishing details
Let the surface continue beyond the worktop.
A stone splashback can connect the worktop and wall into one composition. Plan its height, pattern and practical details alongside the kitchen surface.
Plan every opening
Socket positions, window reveals and corners influence the finished layout. Share these details early so joints and cut-outs can be considered before the stone is fabricated.
Check the area behind the hob
Material suitability, wall construction and the appliance manufacturer's required clearances must be checked for the particular installation. A matching colour alone does not establish suitability behind a hob.
A few useful answers
Will the veins line up with the worktop?
Pattern continuity may be possible, depending on the slab, dimensions and cutting layout. Discuss the intended effect before fabrication; it should not be assumed from a small sample.
