Backsplashes

Kitchen and bath backsplash tile. Ask with your Sheet attached: homeowners who’ve done it and verified pros answer, and anyone can read it.

Tile · 01Before you ask

Before you ask

The length and height, the tile, and what’s at the ends and around outlets.

  • Attach your Sheet so people see your sizes and the math.
  • Your town is enough. Never your address; check photos for house numbers and plates.
  • Is it safe? A safety question here goes to pros verified in tile, unless you pick another trade. Only they can call it safe or unsafe.

Tile a kitchen backsplash

12′ of backsplash, 18″ tall: 18 sq ft of tile, the adhesive, grout and edge trim, and 4 outlet box extenders.

What people get wrong:

  • Starting from the counter. Counters aren’t level, so the rows drift.
  • Grout at the countertop. That joint moves and cracks.
  • Outlets left recessed. A box buried behind the tile is unsafe and the device wobbles.
