We have to buy both 4 and 6 so that we could deeply made experiments and research on them after we are back home.
The size was not even the problem until after some people started classifying it as outdated which is automatically not correct. The backsplashes for the kitchen are not just design (aesthetic appeal) which most people see it as.
It serves as functional protection for your good-looking kitchen.

After maybe much thinking and debate about your granite backsplash and concluding on removing it, you should not go direct without guidance on how to do that because you may end up doing things wrongly.
It might be possibly not removing it completely rather changing granite or replacing it with something else.
Some people have already been thinking about the granite removal process that it is hard, while it is not. You must be careful throughout the backsplash process so that the main wall under it would not damage.
Wrapping the countertop is somehow important, but if you could not that is not something to border on or stop you to continue.
You can use an old magazine or newspaper to wrap on the counter that is old and would not be useful anymore. Get your box knife which you will be using in stripping the caulk and trim off the edge sides of the backsplash (including the joint of the counter).
After stripping away all the caulk from each side, the backsplash will remain at the wall since it is not pried yet. Get a putty knife which you will use in prying the backsplash from the wall.
Don’t rush yourself starting from the first point of removing caulk and trims, all the tools using you are using is a knife – a sharp object that can easily wound you.
Apart from that, if you are careful while on the stripping process, you will end up causing damage to the wall or the backsplash which is very wrong and not supposed. Unless you are willing to damage it. But still, you can’t escape even small damage on the wall since you are applying a knife to it.
