GENERAL VIEW:
The glass kitchen backsplash is an explicit pattern feature found in almost every modern and designer kitchen. You can choose anything from marble, ceramic tile, glass mosaic, marble mosaic, stainless steel, and you can even go for 24ct. gold plated tiles. Everyone who wants to go for something that can be affordable and within their budget should design their kitchen with a beautiful backsplash pattern. It’s definitely a little more time consuming, but it’s pretty cheap, and sometimes it’s perfectly free, but it depends on your resources.
HOW TO START?
The first step is to decide on the color of the tile, marble, stone, glass tile or anything else that suits and appeals to you. To get a magnificent work, you will need to calculate the proportion of the material that is used and then use it in the area of one square foot. Almost all full glass backsplashes are available between 16 and 18 inches. So if you have 10 linear feet of full glass backsplash, you can cover an area of about 15 square feet.
The next step is to make a decision on the color of the tile that dominates your choice and your mind that can be used in the splash. For example, you decide to have a beige tile that is 50%, and then you want other color percentages that you want to install. So, your hypothetical backsplash will have a 50% beige tile and other colors such as a 20% brown tile, a 15% purple tile, a 10% biscuit tile, and a highlighted gold tile. 5 %.
Now you need to apply all the color tile percentages to a one square foot area and add the waste component. This way, you will be able to know the square footage you will need to install the separate color tiles.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO INSTALL THEM?
When you’re ready to use the tiles and almost done, you’ll need an all-purpose putty, a pair of tile tongs, a grout trowel, and your chosen color of grout. Don’t feel so confused because you can easily buy all of these items at any local store or store for just $25.00 or less or you can get it from any of your neighbors who have done it before.
OK LET’S START:
This is full of entertainment and fun because you have to break the tiles. It is recommended to wear gloves and some eye protection to avoid any accident of getting any sharp piece of tile into the eyes or serious injury. You can easily break the tiles with a hammer, wood or just place the tile on top of a pencil and then just press down from both sides and the tile will break. You can make adjustments with the tile clamps.
Now putty a smaller area of the wall once at a time and start gluing the tile pieces with proper knowledge of the ratio of different tiles you are using. Keep the caulk as is without touching it for approximately 24 hours after the installation is complete. You will admire the design and appearance of your kitchen….
