Sun, 20 Feb 2011 16:53:00 -0800 excellent ceramic tile backsplash http://taurennite.posterous.com/excellent-ceramic-tile-backsplash http://taurennite.posterous.com/excellent-ceramic-tile-backsplash

DEAR TIM: My kitchen backsplash is just painted drywall. I have get some ideas on my backsplash, but I have a problem which is stuck at a tile backsplash Is it necessary to use certain backsplash tiles inside a kitchen, or even will just about any ceramic tile work? wouldyou give me some guide on how to pick kitchen backsplash tile wisely? Dana S., Knoxville, TN .Thank.

DEAR DANA: It is no surprise if you ask me that you keep gravitating to ceramic tile for your backsplash. A tile backsplash will add beauty to your kitchen and will last for many years. I've installed ceramic tile at backsplash regions between the counter tops and also the underside of kitchen walls cabinets for some time, and each homeowner was stunned through the final overall look .

Ceramic tile is sensible when you are mulling over backsplash ideas since it is durable, simple to clean, colorful and may add texture for an otherwise dull, flat boring surfaces. Recently, there appears to have been a surge of new tile colors, patterns, styles and textures, many of that are perfect for areas directly behind a destroy and cooktop areas.
Before you choose a particular tile for this job, think about cleaning. A frequent mistake produced by some homeowners is picking a porous or unglazed tile for that backsplash behind or immediately next to a cooktop. Food and grease can be ejected out of pans and pots onto a backsplash. These can permanently stain or even blemish a few tiles.


To prevent these complaints, always install a glazed tile next to sinks plus cooktops. Glazed tile has a thin layer of glass on the surface enabling food and oil to become easily as well as completely washed away.


Spend some time when searching for your backsplash tile. I recommend visiting a specialty retail store that sells ceramic tile, granite, stones along with a complete line of ceramic tile tools. You'll be pleasantly surprised if you notice the large selection of tile and custom-made tile that might be the perfect match for the tastes. All too often, I learn people make one visit to a local home center convinced that is all the tile they are able to pick from.

First,
Mark out the border on the wall where you want your Backsplash, using your level and pencil. Use the square to make sure the corners are all 90 degrees. Draw a vertical line through the middle of the area from top to bottom.


Second,
Use your notched trowel to spread adhesive over the whole area. Press your tiles into place, starting at the center line on the bottom row. Let the nubs at the sides of the tiles keep a consistent space between them, including an area between the bottom edges of the bottom row of tiles and the vanity top.


Third,
Hang trim tiles around the outer perimeter to border it. Make cuts as needed with your tile cutter. Allow the tiles to set overnight.


Fourth,
Apply grout to the tile surface by spreading it with the grout flout, using the long edge to force grout into the spaces between the tiles while scraping it off the surface. Let it sit in the lines for 10 minutes, then wipe off the excess grout with a damp sponge. Note that you should not grout the bottom horizontal space between the lowest row of tiles and the vanity top.


Fifth,
Let the grout set for a day. Run a bead of caulk along the bottom horizontal space between the lowest row of tiles and the vanity top, sealing the line.


Sixth,
Let the grout cure for an addition four to five days. Apply grout sealant over the grout lines using a paintbrush.
