Backsplash tile

So has anyone installed lightweight backsplash tile in the kitchen or arond the sink in the lav? How has it held up?
  • I used thin metal 4" sq tiles from Handy Tiles. Very very light weight. Glued to the wall with liquid nails. I did not remove any wallpaper or border paper. Only been up a couple months. So far So good!
  • I was in the process of removing the wallpaper the po had put up when I found that the paneling around the stove top was scorched from the heat of cooking. I put it quarter inch masonry board and then the 1 inch glass tiles from Lowes. It has been up over a year with no problem and it looks great. I had some left over tiles that I used to make sink cover.
  • Rosie installed the Smart Tiles in our gray hawk last spring and they are fantastic! We already tried them through the really hot temps of this past summer, and are now evaluating them for the upcoming freezing winter upcoming.
    I shall write a report after that, but so far great!
    Everyone that visits our MH loves the look, makes it look like a completely separate room, and classy.
    I would post a photo but can't figure it out from the I pad.
    They were easy to work with, did not take down the existing wallpaper, just sprayed a good degreaser/ cleaner and washed the walls good first.
  • the first thing I do when I get a new RV is to put a sheet of plexiglass on the wall behind the stove using velcro dots.

  • We installed Stainless Steel. Just glued it to the wall. Works great for us. It was easy and lightweight.

    That's what we did on our old trailer, worked fine.
  • Cool - thank you ! I was thinking about stainless steel by the stove. Che did that at our house and it looks nice and is easy to install!


  • This is how we did ours. Not sure if the pic pulls up, if not I'll repost later
