Specification study. This is the materials list Altesora would specify for this room. Every product in it is real, priced, and orderable. The room has not been photographed — the imagery on our website for this space is a generated concept image, not a record of built work, and it is deliberately not included in this document.

Materials, in build order
Listed from what goes against the substrate to what you finally see. The surface beside each product is where it went, and the option named is the one the SKU and price below refer to.

The figure above is one unit of every priced item, which is a floor rather than an estimate — a real room needs more than one box of tile.
End of schedule — 4 products, priced as of August 17, 2026. A specification, not a quotation; prices and lead times are confirmed at the point of order.
Why it was specified this way
Running a backsplash to full height removes the horizontal break that a standard 450mm splash creates, and makes a modest kitchen feel taller. The difficulty is everything that interrupts it: outlets, switches, the range hood, and the cabinet returns.
The craft point is alignment. Outlets cut so their edges follow the joint pattern look deliberate; outlets cut wherever the electrician happened to place the box look like an accident. That decision is made at layout, before the first tile is set.
