Re: Self Adhesive Kitchen Tile Mod 2013
RVcircus wrote: We've had these sitting in the warage sinve September. Yours turned out great...hopefully ours looks as nice. Now that weather is improving I'd like to get these stuck to the wall. Isn't that always the way,though? Now that spring is slowly starting to creep our way, we have a list a mile long of things we need to do to prep our rig for Spring Break. I am thinking about posting another mod about Self Adhesive Vinyl Wood Plank Flooring. I gave my bathroom a "band aid" make over (its only 42 sq ft. and I don't want to tear out walls), so I used these planks OVER tile! I bought WAY more than I needed so I thought, "What else can I do?" I needed a headboard for our King bed, so I installed them running horizontally on the walls. Because it was drywall,I did have to use nails to secure the planks. I can see these being used in RV applications for floors (my father owned a flooring store and always told me that if the floor was in good condition and level, you could cover it with another vinyl) as well as walls and tight areas, like behind the bed. Why? Well,because they are REALLY adhesive and they cut to fit with nothing more than heavy duty kitchen shears. Plank flooring is really a hot trend in RV and residential design right now. But the look of hardwood is timeless. So if you all have any interest, post here and I'll write it up with pictures! Thanks!679Views0likes0CommentsRe: Self Adhesive Kitchen Tile Mod 2013
Hi Everyone!! Just thought I would check in with those of you who completed this mod. How is your tile holding up? Ours is hold up exceptionally well,no rips, tears or shifting. I posted this on Pinterest as well. We just went to our local RV dealer and I looked at a big,beautiful new Montana. Lo,and behold,what do they have on the backsplash but a piece of MDF pressed to look like tile. I still love my Smart Tiles!!679Views0likes0CommentsRe: Self Adhesive Kitchen Tile Mod 2013

Check out this article on new kitchen trends, i think its time to replace the traditional tiles with backsplash. This mod was created using Smart Tiles. The Smart Tiles company offers a range of white subway tiles that can be used in RVs as well as residential applications. See http://www.thesmarttiles.com/en/shop/tiles/by-color/blanc/infinity-blanco/ If you are considering using glass mosaic tiles in an RV kitchen, I would suggest that you check out the RV.net forum posts on glass tiles. There you can find a number of posters who can help you decide if that product will be the best fit for your needs.300Views0likes0CommentsRe: Self Adhesive Kitchen Tile Mod 2013

Finally an associate found where they were as they were not with the other tiles... I bought way too many because I forgot to measure before I went there so I will be returning a lot of sheets....This HD had lots of styles to chose from. My question for those that have installed them is can they be cut with a paper cutter? at least the long straight cuts? at 10 dollars a sheet I do not want to be making a mess with the cutting. Also in the corners there is a corner piece and was wondering if I have to remove that prior to installing the tiles? Evening Bob! Glad to see you are going to do this project! I don't think you will be disappointed. "Measure twice,cut once." I think I heard my mother say that. And the guy from "This Old House". For accurate cuts, you can use a strong pair of scissors or a utility knife. Maybe a rolling cutting wheel, if its really sharp and IF you are using a straight edge and cutting on a board! Safety first! When I did this, I was measuring and cutting right there in the RV. The corner piece is up to you. I did not have to contend with one, however, if I did, I would likely remove it, to obtain a more seamless look. The Smart Tiles are flexible. But I wouldn't try to bend it around a corner. Just measure and cut each wall and you should be fine. If you apply the tiles and see that it isn't fitting right, you can gently remove it and try re-positioning them. Another design tip: Look at the wall you are going to apply the tiles on...where does your eye fall first? Behind the stove? In the corner? Wherever that is for your project, then that is the corner you should start in. For me, it happened to be left to right. Seriously though, HAVE FUN!! Just let us know what color you got and post some pictures of your mod!300Views0likes0CommentsRe: Self Adhesive Kitchen Tile Mod 2013
@alliemac9 Superb job! I think your choice of Smart Tiles was perfect. The Dune Mosaic might have looked a little too "heavy" against your neutral wall color. Your choice really makes the kitchen area "pop". Don't they look just like little gemstones in the sunlight? Job well done!!!309Views0likes0CommentsRe: Self Adhesive Kitchen Tile Mod 2013
@4BeachCampers: Oh-M-G!! Can you picture me here with my mouth wide open?!? This bathroom looks STUPENDOUS!!! Do you Tweet?

They like seeing what people are doing with their products. Seriously,this looks so amazing!! Together, we will Smart Tile the world (insert evil "muhahahah" laugh here)!!!202Views0likes0Comments
