My backsplash renovation... My Amerigo story continues

Hi wagonqueen, do the tiles use some sort of grout or other seal? I'm wondering about bacon grease and water or other liquids getting behind. How does that work?

Trailgranny, you hit the nail on the head with the older versus new.

They butt up against each other pretty tight. If they were in my home I would put grout in, but since they are going to move and groove, NO grout. As far as water and cleaner,I will just wipe the surface area with the cleaner already applied to the clothe. I guess we will see how things go with the bacon grease. LOL

Cool! Looks so neat and practical, easy cleaning. And I thought I was finished adding remodel touches to our Shadow Cruiser. Do we ever really get DONE? One of the nice things about an older camper is there's not as much pain involved in making changes. Not messing with something new you just spent a fortune in and still need to fine tune.

Looks great ... even the 40 year old sink!

Very impressive job you did. That backsplash looks great with the new countertops.

That backsplash is STUNNING! Great job.

Wow that look good! Odd how the each tile reflects light differently, are they bowed or brushed in one direction? Curious
Really like the color scheme.

My vote would be a black receptacle, though Id probably do a GFI due to sink. Have to ask though -I assume the tiles are metalized/conductive unless plastic. With plug surface mounted and tile trimmed that tight- are the terminals as close as they might seem?

Don't know if I want Margaret to see this or not:)

Great work! And thanks for giving me new ideas to spend money on my 21 year old camper!

USS Enterprise! I like it! Excellent job on the rebuild. Thanks for sharing.

Used liquid nail for the stainless tiles. They actually have a styrofoam core. The counters were refabricated using the old counter as a template. Every price of the entire camper (during the tear down)was kept an entire year for the rebuild... To use as templates. Then we laminated them with a black marble like laminate, being sure to rounder them so that the corners were smooth.
