Back splashing your kitchen could be a simple decorating solution to an area that needs a little tlc. There are many different choices for backsplashes, from the acceptable materials such as tile to any unusual products that meets your wants and needs. A simple backsplash addition can make any kitchen look new. There are several different choices when it comes to backsplashes.

CERAMIC TILE

Ceramic tiles offer a huge variety of design possibilities. They come in a vast array of colors, textures and finishes. They give someone on a budget the opportunity to create a custom look and save on installation. The grout, however, must be cleaned and resealed regularly. But, even with that, it makes a beautiful backsplash.

Other Tile

You are not limit to ceramic tile for a backsplash anymore. There are many different types of tile such as vinyl tile, metal tile, mosaic tile, and glass tile. You can purchase a how to install tile books from any home improvement store or any large book store. The tools needed are not many, something to cut the tile with, a square, a trowel, something to measure with, a tile snip tool for small cuts, grout, tile, cement, a grout float, sponge.

GRANITE

The most durable natural stone for backsplashes is granite. However, it should be resealed twice a year to maintain protection from moisture. Granite is versatile just as tile since it comes in many different colors. Unfortunately granite is not a good do itself project. It takes skill and special saws to cut granite. If you still want granite and also want to do it yourself you can purchase granite tile.

On any tiling project you need to give yourself enough time to do it right, and hopefully find someone to help you that has done it before.

STAINLESS STEEL

Stainless steel is also another choice that many are using now. It gives any kitchen a professional look and easy to clean. Stainless steel comes in panels which you premeasured and have made. There are also stainless steel tiles which you can do yourself basically the same way you do ceramic tiles.

No matter which type of backsplash you choose , it should be something that you can take care of and compliments your kitchen décor.

10 points! glass tile,what kind of adhesive? hole in backer board how to fix before i tile? & tile over paint?


glass tile,what kind of adhesive? hole in backer board how to fix before i tile? & tile over paint?
i am trying to tile kitchen back splash in an old house. after peeling off old peeling wall paper and removing the exhaust cover i find the backer board has glue on it, and the board has cup size hole in the top corner, the exhaust fan hole is huge almost the size of the cover. what can i do to remove the glue ( could i try nail polish remover) and what can i do about these holes in backer board? could i build up with joint tape and the adhesive or grout? i was thinking luon but the stuff at store seemed 1/4 think and that would bring wall out to the window casing. and make my surface uneven.**** Also my glass tile is net backed and every jar or pre mixed adhesive says not for glass but mine has the net and the guy at store says that it is fine, and i have non sanded grout Is IT OK to use these or will tile drop off wall??????

i think that you will have to use a mineral oil based paint thinner to clean up the glue perhaps.. make sure room is ventihlated good. or perhaps go to lowe's or home depot and ask the guys there in the paint department ( that is where all the glue type adhesives are kept) and ask them how to remove dried glue. might wind up having to scrape it off. fill in the holes for sure. if the wall is standard sheet rock, then try to cut the hole into a square going from stud to stud, get you the same sized sheet rock nail or screw it into the studs (for support) then use sheet rock mud (spakle otherwise known as) and properly mud sand mud sand till its straight then prime ( just for saftey sake then apply your mortar and press the net backs glass tiles into the or onto the wall. if the guy at the store (which in most cases they only hire people with exstensive knowledge of the area they work in) says that mortar would be ok, then im gu essing it would be ok. i once put a tile back splash in a house i was remodeling by just using mortar and then putting the tiles in place just like i would have done a floor. to this day they are still in place. i hop ethat i just helped you out. def. fill in the holes, as they will likely not be structuly sound in the strength of your black splash. and use mortar for the "glue" to adhere the tiles in place, then use the grout to fill inbetween the tiles like you would a rregular flooring.

Description

Corelle Livingware 16-Piece Set, Service for 4, includes 4-each 10-1/4-inch Dinner Plates, 6-3/4-inch Bread and Butter Plates, 18-ounce Soup/Cereal Bowls, 11-ounce Stoneware Mugs, Winter Frost

Since Corelle is famous for producing dinnerware and bakeware that cannot be broken or chipped, it's hard to resist holding a plate without wanting to drop it on the tile floor to see what happens. While Corelle doesn't recommend home tests, this casual 16-piece dinnerware set is still fairly indestructible and is a real asset for busy families. Livingware is easy to maintain as it's dishwasher-, microwave- and oven-safe and is never off-limits for small children to use and handle because of its light weight and durability. The set is comprised of four 10-1/4-inch dinner plates, four 6-3/4-inch bread-and-butter plates, four 18-ounce bowls, and four 11-ounce mugs. Plates and bowls are all made of Corelle's signature material, Vitrelle, which is created from three layers of glass that are compressed under extreme heat and laminated for strength. On the other hand, the mugs in this set are crafted of Corelle's stoneware, which is actually breakable and has a heavier feel than Vitrelle. For diners who recall Corelle patterns as being decorated with rather cutesy floral and fruit patterns, this simple, pure white pattern is sure to appeal to their modern preferences. Livingware plates and bowls sport a relaxed and rimless coupe shape and are all stackable for more efficient storage. Corelle warrants this dinnerware pattern against cracks, chips, breakage, and staining for a full year from the date of purchase. --Cristina Vaamonde What's in the Box 4 dinnerware place settings. Each place setting consist of: 10-1/2-inch dinner plate, 6-3/4-inch bread-and-butter plate, 18-ounce bowl, 11-ounce mug. 16 pieces total.
