After graduating from high school, Danita Lee left her hometown of Vidor, TX, to attend the Lamar Institute of Technology in Beaumont. Danita Lee now works at Southwest Stainless & Alloy in Nederland, which is approximately 25 minutes from Vidor, TX. Ms. Lee spends much of her free time doing home renovations. 

Many home renovations include kitchen updates, such as a new backsplash to give the room a fresh look. In addition to traditional tile, many other backsplash materials are available, including:

– Glass. The reflective surface of a glass backsplash can brighten a dark kitchen and give the room a modern look. Homeowners can add color by applying a coat of paint to the backside of the glass or buying tinted panels.

– Metal. Favored for its durability, stainless steel backsplashes come in multiple finishes. Depending on the desired look, homeowners may install a full panel or use metal tiles.

– Concrete. A material that has become increasingly popular in modern kitchen renovations, concrete should be treated with a surface sealant to make it water- and stain-resistant.
