Backsplash help for Quartzite counters
Comments (21)Thanks everyone! We're going with the glass tile, and definitely appreciate all the advice and feedback. Anna & Breezy - ya, we weren't sure that the color was right, but it actually blends a lot more now that we have the island in (it brings more crisp white to the room). Isabel - Thanks! We love the tile on the fireplace, but I think it would be a disaster to keep clean behind the stove :) We've been a bit busy getting the island in - here's what we accomplished!...See MoreGranite IN!

Comments (60)In trying to locate an old thread I came across this one - interesting to see the dilemas we went through last time... all to come again this time no doubt. I feel bad because I never updated the pics when the tile went in, so just in case there is anyone who voted and never saw the finished product... here it is: We also managed to find a dining room rug which nicely tied in the colors of the cabinets and the backsplash. Lastly the other question I never answered in this thread (sorry) is that both tile choices came from www.glasstilestore.com and both my choices are still available. Probably too late to be of any help/ interest to anyone now, but when I found the thread I decided to update it! Now back to searching for the other thread! Wish the search function worked better!...See MorePrepping walls for full height granite backsplash installation
Comments (9)There's no need to use such nasty terms to discuss my amateur drywall work, GreenDesigns. :) I am an amateur who seems to have somehow gotten stuck with prepping walls for a "Turn-Key" kitchen installer and am already beyond frustrated. The installer's answer to my question is " As long as the surface area that the splash is going to be applied is covered by drywall and as level as possible, this will be acceptable. Just make sure the studs are covered with the drywall and we will handle the rest. After the base cabinets are installed, we will send someone to do a template. The person doing the template will inform our installers of any issues they might encounter so they can be prepared when they show up. IF we need to ensure there needs to be some leveling we will take care of it. All you need to do is install the drywall." Technically, I have followed their instructions, but the surface level differences gave me pause. I am also concerned about any potential leveling that would need to be done after the cabinets are installed. That, to me, sounds like a disaster. I would rather get it right the first time before cabinets are installed. Does "sistering additional support" or "padding out" mean shimming? Best product for this? Just good-old wood shims? I will finish the ends that will show beyond the cabinets and splash but assume that anything behind the cabinets is fine as-is. Yes?...See MoreOne more time... Backsplash for Sea Pearl quartzite
Comments (1)I found a picture today where the rangetop is not as wide as the vent hood. They used extra large glass tiles as a focal point of the backsplash behind the rangetop. Then the backsplash tile continued up on the left and right side of the glass tile. (I assume the tile was on the right side. Can't see it in the picture.) Island Stone catalog. Less grout lines behind the stove. I like that....See MoreBetty M
