        "text": "In most cases, it is highly recommended to remove the old backsplash before installing a new one. This ensures a smooth, flat surface for the new tiles, preventing unevenness or adhesion problems. While sometimes a new backsplash can be installed over an existing one, it adds thickness and might compromise the finish or future durability. Removing the old material allows for better preparation and a cleaner result.",
