Glass Tile Backsplash Options For An Elegant Kitchen

Posts Tagged ‘ceilings’

I am considering a backsplash made from tin tiles usually used for ceilings. I wanted something pretty and I thought about ceramic tile, but a lot of people have that and frankly I didn’t want the mess and expense of installing one. I found a tin ceiling manufacturer online. Does anyone have any comments or experience with using tin ceiling tiles as a kitchen backsplash?

Thanks!
I’ve priced tile versus ceramic and ceramic (including backer board and grout) is much more expensive. The ceiling tiles do not require grout or backer board. I can install the tin tiles for under 0.

The tiles are also coated to protect against rust and are finished so they are not shiney, but are white while still maintaining the tin ceiling look.

The more I think about them the more excited I am to try it out. For less than 0 if it is something I do not like I can easily change it later without feeling too guilty about the money I’ve spent.

Thanks for you ideas!!

Planning natural oak floors, white cabinets with glass fronts and pale yellow walls with 10ft ceilings. I like simple but elegate need suggestions. I don’t like small tile..

I am looking to fix up my kitchen bc I cannot afford a remoldel. My house was built in 1978. And is very much that style. I plan on painting my cabinets and ceilings but i have not thoroughly figured out what to do about my backsplash. It is very ugly like green agate look board my dad thinks it is melamine board ? it is very glossy and has metal edging around it. I would like to know is this something that I can sand and paint or will it reduce the protectiveness of it. If so what else could I do? and if not what to use? I like those tin tiles but find they are to expensive for my large kitchen to do all at once. being as they are like 20 bucks a square not to mention the edging and adhesive and would that adhese? I am looking for a solution for this that would last around ten years until we could do a remodel.
this is glued down on the drywall and then the counters and cabinets are installed on top or rather in front of this board
