Install a Kitchen Tile Backsplash
Written on September 16, 2008 – 7:11 am | by Deepak Shrivastava
If you have an existing drywall painted backsplash, you can install the tiles right over it. First, sand the area. Then, get prepared to do some installation. On the other hand, if you have an already available tile backsplash, you’re best off removing it completely. You will need to cut the existing backer (probably drywall) and get rid of it and any tiles that may come along with that. Your new backerboard may now be installed into the studs created. Many people recommend putting new cement behind this backerboard. If you’d like to, the best choice of material to use is green (probably waterproof) because of its lightweight characteristics.
Make sure you calculate the length of the backsplash and any other measurements you will need in order to determine the area of the space you need to fill with a special tile pattern. Next, figure out what you want your tile pattern to look like by using a piece of graph paper.
