Decorative tile BETWEEN granite countertop and granite backsplash
Comments (5)Yes, that would be easier, but I would really like the look of the liner between the granite pieces. The finished ends will only be on the vanities, and I can disguise those with grout or matching caulk. There are no exposed edges at the tub... it is in a niche that butts up against each of the vanities. So, in your first scenario, why do you say to use caulk and not grout between the top and bottom of the tile and the granite? I was thinking of this order: 1) put up cement board 2) set the decorative tile (being careful about making sure it is the correct depth for the backsplash) 3) let the thinset dry completely 4) glue on the backsplash 5) let the glue dry completely 6) grout the decorative tile (????) 7) caulk the top of the granite backsplash What do you think?...See MoreReplacing laminate counter with quartz or granite 3cm vs 1.5 inch
Comments (1)With 2 cm quartz they often do a plywood base underneath and a pieced on lip/edge at the edge of the counter so it covers the plywood snd looks like a thicker countertop. I'm sure they could just use a thicker plywood base if they need to build it up....See MoreCan I replace 32 1/2 inch double sink with 31 1/2 single? Options?
