How to install tiles for backsplash on top of countertop with backsplash on it.?


Hey there, just curious if anyone had any insight to this problem I have. I want to install some tiles above my countertop. The counter has its own backsplash already attached to it but I want to put some tiles on top of it. I understand how to install them but I need to know what to put in between the bottom of the tile and the arbrite backsplash and on the top, how do I finish it off?? Thanks so much, I'm so confused.

Install the tiles as close to the existing backsplash as you can, and then grout them as usual, but leave the line between the backsplash and the tiles ungrouted. Then when the grout is all dry and you've wiped it away and polished the tiles, apply a bead of clear or white silicone caulking between the tiles and the backsplash. This will waterproof that line and will also allow for some expansion and contraction, which always happens when different materials are next to each other.

Complete Your Kitchen with Glass and Tile Backsplashes

When you think about it, kitchens are pretty intricate rooms.  There's a lot going on in there.  Fire spews from stovetops.  Pounds of food are kept at freezing temperatures right next door.  Cabinets line the walls with drawers full of cups, plates, bowls, forks, spoons, and knives.  Walk into any semi-attractive kitchen and your attention will be drawn to shiny appliances, sturdy countertops, and elegant cabinets.  Odds are—and it's not your fault—that you won' notice the slivers of wall that separate the cabinets from the countertops.  However, these small, generally unnoticed strips of wall provide you with an opportunity to add style and practicality to your kitchen.

Kitchen backsplashes might not jump out at you when you first enter a kitchen, but they can bring a lot to the table.  First, let's go over just what a kitchen backsplash is.

Anyone who's ever cooked, or tried to cook, knows it can get messy.  In the kitchen, things have a tendency to splatter or splash against the walls.  And a kitchen backsplash serves as the line of defense between your marinara sauce and the wall.

Kitchen backsplashes are, first, a practical addition.  Tile and glass backsplashes are easy to wipe down.  Regular drywall is going to stain, and after just a few cooking ventures, it's going to look very ratty.  Glass and tile backsplashes won't show such wear and tear.  You can be as adventurous as your heart desires in the kitchen, and, afterwards, you'll be able to clean up the damage with a few paper towels.

However, while kitchen backsplashes are certainly practical, they also serve aesthetic purposes.  Let's face it; plain walls are just that—plain. They're boring.  The various textures and colors of glass and tile backsplashes can add another dimension to your kitchen.  They fill the gap between your hardwood cabinets and your marvelous countertops.  Kitchen backsplashes can really hold together the intricacy of a kitchen.
