It was time for a new kitchen backsplash. Not smart tile, real tile, light weight and thin. Here are a few pictures.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160529/d84363ea8fbab61487e4242670e1349e.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160529/cafcacfed67e90775de5dc625259f8c6.jpg

Very nice. What did you use to adhere them to the wall?

A product called R+R 100 % Silicone. Got it on line from Florida, it's flexible won't crack.

We purchased the tiles from Lowes, to adhere them to the wall we got a 100% Silicone that is flexible and won't crack, and the grout from a company in Florida.

We had left over tile and did the bathroom backsplash. Both Silicone adhesive and Silicone grout are waterproof and flexible.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160530/5816322a8106301c466cbac9749cc30d.jpg

Agreed...... looks great ! Sure seems a lot more like home with the tile backsplash.

Tile looks crooked, but it isn't.... Optical illusion !

Very nicely done - though I can't imagine working with a silicone mastic and grout. I'm finishing up our stick and brick house kitchen and the backsplash is being put up with an acrylic mastic (also very flexible) which can become a gummy mess so can't visualize the silicone and the potential 'problems'.
Again, nice:D

Job wasn't messy at all, a lot less messy than using a trowel.

Everyone needs to do what they like. I like the was the way it came so we have not changed anything, don't see the need. Hope yours works out for you, good luck.
