A Guide to Using Specialty Windows as a Backsplash

Using a window as a backsplash is a great way to increase the overall aesthetics of your kitchen. However, you can improve upon the idea by using a specialty window. Here are the benefits of using this type of window instead of a standard option.

A Guide To Using Specialty Windows As A Backsplash

Better Window Coverage

With standard windows, you’ll have to settle for however big a standard window option will be. This could limit the amount of light, ventilation and views you get with your window. With a specialty window, you get to decide how tall or wide your window can get. Want a wall-to-wall view or something reaching all the way to the ceiling? Only a specialty window can let you do that.

A Versatile Backsplash

In most cases, windows that serve as a backsplash tend to be fixed windows because the components could get corroded with constant exposure to liquids. With a specialty window you also have the option to have the latches placed higher so that they won’t get wet. This also means you can open your backsplash window just like regular casement windows to help air out the kitchen sink and reduce the risk of mold growth.

A Unique Shape

One of the best things about custom windows is that they are available in almost any shape. Whether you want a backsplash with rounded corners, an octagonal viewport or pretty much any polygon, your best bet will be getting a specialty window.

Energy Efficiency

Specialty windows can also come with the same features found in regular window options. This means your backsplash can have low-E glass and Fibrex® frames just like other energy-efficient windows in your home. This combination of form, versatility and function makes a specialty window perfect for a kitchen backsplash.

"Have nothing but great things to say about the window installation done today by John Hutchinson with Renewal by Andersen! He was friendly, personable and professional and did a great job installing. He did a great job of putting down roller pads and tarps with next to zero clean up. Would highly recommend them for any window replacement needed!"

"We had our new Renewal by Andersen windows installed on June 5th & 6th, 2025 and we LOVE them! The quality, beauty, and functionality are best-in-class! The whole experience from dinner presentation at Lazy River Grill, the initial in-home sales consultation and measurement, the regular communications from the salesman and concierge, and the installation team’s professionalism and skills made the process so seamless. This is the second home we have opted for Renewal windows and doors and have been delighted both times! Thank you Renewal by Andersen STL! "

"I had an excellent experience with RbA STL. Our designer, Courtney, was great and the finished product is awesome. The installation was easy and the gentlemen left our home cleaner than they found it upon entering. I would recommend RbA STL - you’ll get tired from their constant contacts, and that’s a GOOD thing!"
