Are they water proof and heat proof? If they are used in the kitchen, won't they peel off?

Yes, they are water and heat resistant able to be used around sink/stove areas but not under water or in direct contact of the heat source. Google Smart Tiles and you can read more about them and see what designs are available.

Thanks. Doing my homework now.

Great job. What prep work and adhesive is needed?

None, they are peel and stick.

I also used Smart Tiles for a backsplash in my rig and it turned out great. I went to the Home Depot web site and ordered online. They have a wide selection and you get them in a couple of days.

Just went to the closest store that had them and picked up 2 boxes ($200 total) of 10 each. Came home and my wife did not kill me. She did gumble something under her breath as I was walking away but was unsuccessful in getting her to repeat it.

This is the colour I got:



Now I need some thin edging (molding) to finish any exposed edges.

I like that color too. DW picked out the one we used 🙂 but it worked out fine. I didn't put any molding as they are super thin and you don't see any edge.

Home Depot but not all of them carry them.

Ain't that the truth. Went to the one around the corner from my house and it has none. However there are 3 stores within 11 miles that have the colour that I want. Guess I will be getting a box today. Will set me back $100 though. 😞 Thinking of doing the area around the stove as well as behind the sink. Since I have a large kitchen a box may not be enough ...

Thanks for the tip.

I used a box + 3 single sheets (you can buy them in singles too)

Good looking. Did you use Smart Tiles?

Yes they are Smart Tiles they are easy to put up without the weight of regular tiles.

Where did you get them here in Texas?

Wow that looks great! Always looking for a mod or upgrade to do and could easily talk DW into that one, lol!

For the wood cutting board, you can order custom sizes from here: Country Mouldings I bought a 24x24" maple cutting board to go over our cooktop and will add some maple blocks for it to sit on.
