Lightweight "Tile" Back Splash Addition

Thought I'd pass along my first mod to the new RV. Picked up some plastic, adhesive-backed, sheet tile yesterday and installed. In our bathroom, there is very thin, what appears to be, wallpaper on the walls. There was a small gouge taken out of this that we noticed on the day we purchased the RV. Rather than complain about it and go to the trouble of taking back to the dealer for repair, I found this tile from Lowes that has a sticky-back, that can be cut with either a utility knife or sharp scissors and installed. Very nice product for campers. It's very lightweight, easy to cut and as long as you clean the wall first (I used denatured alcohol) it sticks to the surface very well. Looks like it came from the factory this way. I may add some thin wood trim as a border later.

Nice job. Where did you find that brand of tile? The only plastic tiles we have seen are the 'Smart-Tile' variety. Like the larger looking tiles.

Bathroom Tile

We used the same tile, for a backsplash for our stove. Worked like a charm, and easy to install. We were also planning to use it in the bathroom sink area. Your install looks great. We bought ours a Lowes.
