How to install a backsplash behind a stove?
The installation process is the same as the classic backsplash area. Before the installation, you need to prepare the surfaces. First, clean the countertops and remove kitchen appliances. If, however, the old backsplash tiles are still in place you can remove them with the assistance of a chisel. Afterward, sand the wall until it is smooth and get it ready for the backsplash. Alternatively, you can also use plywood to apply to the backsplash area to provide a smooth finish.
The next thing is to cut cardboard of the same size as the backsplash area or any material strong enough to hold up the weight of the tiles. You can lay the tiles on this cardboard to see how they fit just to get a more solid idea. This way, you also have a better idea of how much you need to cut the tiles that will be placed on the edges/corners. You can also mark the electric layouts on the cardboard and arrange the tiles accordingly.
To cut the tiles, you can use a wet saw for cleaner edges. After you are done with cutting, you can spread the tile adhesive or mortar. To leave even gaps between the tiles, you can benefit from the spacers. Once you are done and the mortar is fully cured, you can remove the spacers.
The next step is to apply grout with a grouting float. While applying the grout, just move the float diagonally at a 45-degree angle and make sure that the grout fills the gaps. Clean the excess grout with a damp sponge before it dries. Use a soft cloth to dry the tiles and remove any possible dust and grout. The last thing you need to do is caulk the gap between the countertops and backsplash. You can easily manage with a caulk gun. This last step is important to prevent water or any other liquid spills from seeping through the gap, which might damage your walls in the long term.
