A gap between my new quartz countertop and the wall :(
Comments (1)The backsplash will more than cover 3/8" . Most thin tiles are that by themselves. Thicker tiles can be 1/2" or more. Then the thinset is anothe 3/8" at least. Don't sweat it and leave it alone....See MoreGlass backsplash tile - no space between tile and granite counter
Comments (6)The wall is shared with the inside wall of the Garage. We did use the thinset recommended by the manufacturer (nice to know I did ONE thing right). I used 1/16" joints because we are also using strips of mosaic tile and I wanted all the joints to match. The manufacturer also recommended sanded grout, but now with my joints so small would it do any good to switch to unsanded? It is 5am and I am actually considering ripping all the tile off. Would that work? Would I be able to reuse the tile? Ugh, what a mess....See MoreGaps between counter-top & wall - how to fill?
Comments (5)No can do on the "doing it correctly from the beginning" thing, unless there's a time machine that will transport me back 36 years. I think the compounding solution is a little beyond my expertise, but thanks nonetheless. I think the quarter round suggestion is more my speed. I may even cut it down to as small a piece that will work, attach it with some adhesive, then caulk and paint. Thanks....See MoreReplace Granite Backsplash Between Counter Heights w/ Tile
Comments (6)There very well may be gaps that the splash is covering that the tile won't, however, you'll probably be able to float your wall to make it work. The differing height tops won't look odd with tile. Place a continuous shim the thickness of your grout lines on your main top to start tiling. Install the tile, grout, pull the shim, then fill the gap with color matching caulk....See Moresoulflowerpetals460
