Glass Tile Backsplash

We did not use self-stick...ours was applied using troweled on adhesive, but the tiles are about half the thickness of a traditional glass tile sheet. I can't imagine them going anywhere...the wall would have to have lots of movement, and I don't see any indication of ANY movement...

Did you remove the wall paper or just trowel adhesive over it. Ken

Nope..applied adhesive right over wallboard. Have found it to be very resilient...won't even come off when removing heavy duty Velcro...

Looks awesome! I want to attempt this one day as well! But I think we might be the simplest kind. Is there one where you don't have to grout?

Thanks Jim! The best part is that after we return the two sheets of tile we didn't need...the entire job cost a whopping $51.00!! That even included the trowel and float...well worth it, IMO!! Really pulls the kitchen area together and "warms" it up!! What I really liked is these sheets were much thinner than most of what we saw...really adds very little weight.

P.S. returned the tiles but needed more grout, so the cost was actually $64.00 total...here's a completed picture...grouted it this morning!!

Very nice. I like the color it brings into the trailer. Good job to both you and Gus.
