Abstract

See full text

Some embodiments of the present invention provide a backsplash for protecting a first surface adjacent a work surface. In some embodiments, the backsplash includes a layer of tiles having a front surface exposed and resistant to byproducts of work performed on the work surface. In some embodiments, the layer of tiles are coupled together for installation and removal from the first surface as a single integral unit. Also, in some embodiments the backsplash includes a mount positioned to releasably and removably couple the backsplash to the first surface in at least one location between the backsplash and the first surface. The mount can retain the layer of tiles in a substantially perpendicular relationship with respect to the work surface when the backsplash is in the mounted position upon the first surface. Also, some embodiments of the present invention provide a method of releaseably coupling a backsplash to a first surface adjacent a work surface.
