If You Remove A 4" Granite Backsplash......?
Comments (12)Xand83, that had been my original plan! I had started a thread about cutting down the 4" backsplash. I did not end up having huge gaps and did not need to cut my old splash. I did have to have a side splash I would not have wanted otherwise, but I have gotten used to it and it looks fine. I actually miss having the security of the granite trim with water spills, etc. I know the tile is sealed well, but I felt more secure with the granite. Your kitchen looks great! Amck, I laughed when I read your last post. My DH was the last to know. I did all my homework first. Actually, he would not help since he was convinced I would break the counter and wanted no part of it. He would only carry out the heavy pieces, but would not do the scoring and tapping with the hammer. Be very careful. Score, score, and score some more. Then take a very sharp putty knife and tap gently with a hammer. I went ever so carefully and slowly. Thankfully, nothing broke....See MoreCan't remove 4" granite backsplash. I give up!!!
Comments (9)Thanks SO much for the suggestions!!! I have options:) If I decide to go with the over the stove option only, I could consider some of those "busy" tiles that I love. Spb59, I have thought about the water problem also. Over the last four years, there have been many times when the stove has over boiled and flooded the backsplash! It has never been a problem with the 4 inch. Do you have paint or tiles above it? This post was edited by annalyn123 on Sun, Jul 21, 13 at 13:38...See MoreBacksplash on top of granite 4in backsplash
Comments (3)Most times we do not apply a spacer there, we use the backsplash as a support. But make sure this is level before doing this, otherwise you will have uneven tile at the wall cab!

Comments (3)I can't figure out to edit my post but we put these granite countertops in and when we took the old ones out, there was a lot of drywall missing behind the old 4" Formica backsplash...See Morethemaid
