How To Tile A Kitchen Backsplash

Need Help with Bathroom Makeover...?


I am in the process of redecorating my home. I am working on my guest bathroom and I am stuck. I HATE the layout of the tub and I am considering a tiled shower stall.
I came accross this article and I am curious about installing the tile myself: http://www.contemporaryinteriordesigns.com/kitchen-backsplash-bathroom-backsplash-tile/

How hard is it to install tile? Any tips or pointers?

Installing the large tiles looks easy enough. I would get some grout and go to work, especially if I had some time on my hands. Those tiny tiles look like a pain to install, so I would opt for a professional instead.

Description

The Ideal Products Stainless Backsplash makes an attractive, functional addition to any kitchen. The #3 polish finish blends easily with most hoods, stoves and ranges.All four sides of the backsplash are hem-edged for extra rigidity. (A hem edge simply means the metal is folded over onto itself, doubling the thickness.)The backsplash is made from 430 series stainless which allows you to attach magnetic items like spice tins. The polished surface is also covered with a vinyl coating that protects the surface from scratches during shipping and is also packed with a piece of plywood to keep the package from being bent.Other standard sizes available: 30" x 24", 36" x 24" and 30" x 30".Ideal Products suggests the backsplash is installed using adhesive. If you prefer to mount the backsplash with fasteners, you will need to drill your own mounting holes as needed.

  • Edges hemmed for extra rigidity
  • 430 series stainless: magnetic things will stick to it
  • Finished size: 36" x 30", Made in USA
