beadboard wallpaper as a backsplash?
Comments (8)Thanks for the advice, all! We're installing "real" beadboard on the eat-in half of the kitchen, so I think the eye will more readily accept the "fake" backsplash. farmhousebound, I would love some of your scraps, but I can't figure out how to PM you! I clicked on your screen name and your "page"....See MoreBeadboard backsplash
Comments (21)I have a solid wood, tongue in groove beadboard backsplash that has been in for almost 5 years. I like the look and like being able to easily hang pictures on the wood but a few things to keep in mind are how to handle the areas near the sink and behind the stove. I have soapstone behind the sink and the slightly higher back guard on the range to prevent any issues in those two areas. Because my backsplash is solid wood I have had issues with movement in the wood during the winter which has led to a good bit of recaulking and painting, I actually just redid ever seam last week. Using a high quality plywood veneer beadboard would prevent these issues. I do not have a problem with gunk build up, I used a semi gloss paint which is very easy to wipe down. And, because I have a flat trim piece where the backsplash meets the counter, I do not have the grooves right at counter level to deal with keeping clean or caulking....See MoreHow do you like your beadboard backsplash

Comments (65)"I suspect that in those $$$ kitchens with "professional" ranges without backguards, they just toss in a few metal studs behind the cement fiberboard/tile." -- The clearance requirement is usually greater than 6". Technically, on a 2×4 wall, with a metal stud as a thermal bridge, the OTHER side of the wall would also have to be cement board... Now that Chess has tried to make everything clear as mud ;) the OP still seams confused. "Either way, apparently I need to be very aware of safety issues in whatever I place behind the stove area." - It is not about "whatever" you place behind, but maintaining the clearance DISTANCES mandated in the installation instructions, regardless of which material you use as a surface treatment to the wood studs. It makes no difference "what", be it shiplap, beadboard, drywall, stainless steel, or tile....See Morehollylh
