Hi there,
I was initially interested in doing my backsplash through Mattamy but the problem is I cannot find anything to match the granite that I have chosen. I am now confused and thinking of doing only the granite with Mattamy and doing the backsplash elsewhere. I was wondering if anyone else is is going through this (or been through this) and if you would like to share any ideas? :?
thanks!

Do the backsplash yourself after. You will save yourself a LOT of money compared to what Mattamy will charge you. From what I remember in the Design Centre they will charge around $1500. You can buy the tile and have it installed for under 600 easily (depending on what tile you get of course).

Agreed. It's a lot easier than you think. I did mine with no prior experience and it turned out great...just give yourself enough time.

even if you hire someone after the fact to do it - it will be cheaper...

I did it through John @ Universal Tiles. He did amazing job. His number is (416) 706-5474. I bought tiles from Italtiles in Mississauga. Tileshoppe in Mississauga is also good. Total square feet: 26. Total cost including grout, tiles and contractor (Universal) : $525 incl taxes. No comparison with Mattamy! Tile is made of glass and stone strips. I got it on sale @$8.69 per square feet.

TUBS is having a super sale with regards to glass backsplash tiles, regular price $15 a sf marked down to $2.99 a sf. I was at one of their stores a few days ago and they have some really nice styles, worth a look.
