Tile Backsplash

I am thinking of tiling the back splash between the counter top and bottom of cabinet.
Has anyone done this? What type to adhesive and grout should I use?

Thanks

  • Thanks, I did the back splash in my house and used the mastic but I am not sure about the grout. I will make SURE I GET THE ONE WITH AN ADDITIVE.

    Thanks again!
  • I remember seeing here at DIY that somebody had done the glass tile. (hope they post or you find it in the search) I wanted to do it in our 5ver but DH said I was just adding more weight,,,what do I want to throw out in exchange? Well nothing at this point so will find DH another project :)
  • Haven't done it in a MH yet but, from my construction days, what you want is "mastic" and the grout with latex additive. The latex additive makes it less likely to pop. Both are available in the tile materials at your favorite big box hardware store.

    PS: Don't forget the notched trowel.
