There is nothing worse than having to clean an overflowing pot of spaghetti that has splattered on the walls behind your range and seaped into the crevice between the wall and the range.  That is why most ranges come equip with a backguard.

If your range was not installed with a backguard, you can still purchase a backguard and install on your range.  Here are a number of backguard’s available on the market today:

• GE 30 in. Backguard Kit – JXS37 Accessory Backguard Attaches To The Back Of A Ge Slide-in Range When It Is Installed In A 30 In. Freestanding Cut-out.
• Frigidaire 318027800 Trim-BACKGUARD
• General Electric WB36K5036 BACKGUARD Body-White
• AERB36D3 3inch Backguard – Stainless Steel

Installing a range backguard is actually fairly simple and manufacturers give explicit directions that are easy to follow. 

Another option, but more expensive than a backguard is to install mosaic tiles along the wall behind your range. Creating a beautiful and original design can save your walls and create a conversation piece in your kitchen.

A backguard is a necessity when you have children or teens using the range and can actually add beauty to your kitchen.
