How to install kitchen backsplash?

The installation process of the backsplash depends on the material, shape, and size of the backsplash. For all materials, you need to prepare the walls before the installation. Sand the roughness and patch the holes on the wall and clean it with an all-purpose cleaner. Define the boundaries of the backsplash with painter’s tape, and remove the electrical switches.

If you are working with tiles, it is important to prepare the layout of your tiles before applying them to the wall. This preparation avoids the unmatched corners and unfilled blanks. Generally smaller tiles come with a mesh which makes the installation process easier. Depending on the shape and pattern of your tiles, you might need to cut some tiles and you need to use specialized tools for the material.

Installation

Apply the mortar with a V-notch trowel in small sections. Then stick the tile on the mortar. Do these steps until cover the all backsplash area. Wait at least over a night, and after it dries, wipe down the tiles with a cloth and cleaner. Apply the grout with a float at a 45-degree angle. Wait until all grouts dry and wipe the tiles with a wet sponge. If you are working with stone material, you need to do also sealing. 

After the installation of the tiles, grab a soft cotton rag, damp it with a stone sealer and rub the surfaces of the tiles. After waiting 20 minutes, wipe off with a clean cloth. You can repeat this process until all the surfaces are properly sealed. If you are working with larger pieces like a marble slab or metal sheet, the installation process is done much in the same way as tiles but additionally, you need a strong backer material that is screwed into the studs.

Kitchen Backsplash Styles

Just like the kitchens, backsplashes can have different design aesthetics like modern or traditional. Their materials, patterns, textures, sizes, and shapes define this visual impact. If you want to create a more modern look, you can go with tiles that have clean lines and straight edges. If you want to give a more traditional look, you can go with more oriental shapes like arabesque tiles.

Modern Kitchen Backsplash

Modern style is known for clean lines, sharp edges, geometrical shapes, and neutral color schemes. You can complete your modern kitchen with a minimalist modern kitchen backsplash design or make a modern twist against your traditional style cabinetry.

Rustic Kitchen Backsplash

Rustic style has a warm and welcoming feel. To give this charming appeal, stone and wood backsplashes are a perfect choice. The rough textures of the wood and stone are a great way to add organic warmth to the atmosphere!
