OK
I may want to take the tiles to reuse them...come to think of it since it would be a small amount of tiling (not much backsplash in rentals--if any) I could probably just...get rid of it at the end-tear it down (if not allowed to leave it)
thanks for the ideas!
I'm assuming that you wouldn't plan to take your backsplash with you when you move. So talk to the owner - maybe they wouldn't object to your doing the work, especially if you're willing to pay for it. (Who knows, maybe they could even chip in a little cash towards it?)
I'm imagining that tiles are "really" heavy - especially once mounted onto a board and grouted. Might be best to leave a border so that it could be screwed to the wall more securely or perhaps use the mounting clips that are often used for mirrors?
I do not think you need something as heavy as MDF or as thick. A piece of thin plywood or any lighter weight product and tile that and use velcro to attach to the wall.
:)
yes! those are the tiles I'm talking about-love 'em!!-
How would I then remove the mdf? or attach it for that matter?...hmmmm...
glass tiles? If so, I agree, they are a really nice look. I guess you could cut mdf to fit and tile that....or paint!!!
