Stove back splash

The DW always thought that the area behind the stove just looked plain and after seeing some of the backsplashes on trailers at the RV shows she wanted to change it. We saw these panels at Lowes. They are called Facade and are a light thermoplastic sheet that weighs next to nothing(see here). Two panels were big enough for the area we were covering. We used double sided tape to put them in place. I think we spent around $30 for everything(DW has the receipts so I don't remember the exact price)


Before

After
  • Thats a good idea....when I used granite tile on the counters...I just continued on with the same thing on the backsplash.
  • I have 3 sizes of the "airbake" insulated baking/cookie sheets that are used in the oven. When not used for baking they are used as a heat buffer on the side of the cooktop (wall of the fridge is next to the oven). My apologies for hijacking this thread.

  • We used the same silver panels on our unit. Last unit, we used bronze because the appliances were black and the faucet and cabinet door handles were bronze.

    DH glued them on and with the silver toaster oven in front of them, it all blends in well.
  • I just completed doing the deed with the Fasade panels and am very pleased with the result. I used the quilted pattern in brushed nickel to match the other hardware in the rig. Shortly after completing the job I realized that I could use the same stuff to replace the panel in the reefer door. Hmmmm...



  • Very nice. Just gives it a more finished look. Our has been holding up great so far.
