Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

Hoping to find an old-fashioned backsplash that's both functional and historically authentic? Made of tin-plated steel, this backsplash is offered in several 6-inch patterns in stock colors of ivory, khaki, olive, rusty red and black. Custom colors are also available.

Because it's made of steel, this backsplash is fire-proof, resistant to rust and cleans up easily. Can be applied to plaster, furring strips or a specially-designed grid system.

Price: $40 to $60 (September 2005).
