Glass Tile Backsplash Options For An Elegant Kitchen

kitchen countertops or backsplash first??

Admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 07:16:53 +0000

I am gonna do the backsplash myself. I’m replacing the formica countertop with granite–will be done by professional. The countertop has a 2" edge that sits against the wall. My new countertops will not have that edge. So… until my new countertops get here can I remove the formica top & start in on my backsplash?

DIY Tile Kitchen Backsplash — Worth the Savings?

Admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 02:28:39 +0000

We are building a new home and are considering doing the travertine backsplash ourselves. I did get an estimate from the guy who did our tile floors, but the bid came back for 0 labor and 0 for materials.

Is this a simple DIY project or should I just hire the sub? I don’t have a lot of time and would only be about to work on it in the evenings for 5-6 hours at a time until finished.

Can someone with no tiling experience (but has the help of people that have done tile) get this done and be happy they did it? I’ve painted the whole house successfully but decided that a painter would have been worth the cost. I don’t want to try and undertake this and wish I hadn’t — any advice?
The design I was planning on was a contemporary, simple, brick pattern. Probably 6×12 or 8×12 tiles.

how tall should the backsplash be behind my kitchen sink?

Kitchen BackSplash Ideas – KITCHEN BACKSPLASH TILING?

Admin — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 00:00:36 +0000

HI ,
THIS IS MY FIRST TILE PROJECT. I AM INSTALLING A BACKSPLASH ON SHEETROCK USING 4.5"X4.5" PORCELAIN TILES. USING OMNIGRIP MASTIC APPLIED WITH A 1/4" X 3/16" V-NOTCH TROWEL. THE TILES HAVE A WAFFLE BACK. MY CONCERN IS DO I HAVE TO FILL IN THE WAFFLE DEPRESSIONS,WHICH SEEM TO BE 1/16" DEEP,BY BACK BUTTERING PRIOR TO APPLYING TILE TO COMBED MASTIC. ALSO, IS THE TROWEL SIZE CORRECT?

P.S. WHY DO SOME TILES HAVE A WAFFLED BACK AND SOME A PRACTICALLY FLAT BACK?

THANKS!

Do you like travertine or marble for a backsplash?

I’m putting in a kitchen backsplash. What do you prefer…a matte beige travertine or a polished beige marble?

Do I need Backer Board when installing tiles for a kitchen backsplash?

Admin — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 00:09:46 +0000

Currently the wall is finished and painted and we want to install tile to update the look.

If we install tile with backer board, I have a feeling the tiles going to stick out a lot.
Is backer board necessary or can I scruff up the painted wall, add the thinset and place the tile?
Do I need a sheet of membrane behind the thinset and tile or is this mainly for bathrooms?

where can I find any chillipepper titles 4 my kitchen backsplash?! ?

Wanting to know the name of the stone kitchen backsplash by Walker Zanger used on HGTV–Red Hot and Green.?

Admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 03:09:44 +0000

I believe it was used on the show "Red Hot and Green". I know it is made by Walker Zanger–just can’t find the actual stone or name on the website.
