join between ceramic backsplash and laminate counter top
Comments (3)You absolutely don't want grout there for a reason - when the plane shifts and expands, as it will, grout would crack open. That's why you use a colored silicon caulk that matches your grout (all grout companies make it). Don't use grout and cover it with caulk as this defeats the purpose and you'll just have a caulk-coated crack. Hang the bottom row of tile the same distance above the counter as your grout joints, and that joint will just look like another grout line: I'd agree re. the quarter-round trim - I'd fear wood would get wet too often in that area, discolor and ultimately rot away, or else hide wipedown crud underneath it as it loosens over time. :-/...See MoreStick on tiles for counter tops and possibly backsplash???
Comments (5)Sharon, Stick on tiles might work fine for a backsplash, especially if it doesn't get a lot of gunk on it and need a lot of wet cleaning, but I wouldn't want them on a countertop because they could get really icky if moisture gets under them wehre they come together, and bits of food could get into the joins as well. Have you thought of mixing a color paint you like better? Or stenciling a pattern?...See MoreLaminate countertops--integral backsplash or not?
Comments (9)I'm no expert on laminate, but I'm with the tile guy. I think it would give a clean and more spacious look to take the tile all the way down. The rolled splash is kind of dated. I think the only caveat might be that you'd need to keep a good eye on the caulk line over time. If it cracks with age and water rests in the angle and seeps in -- especially behind the sink, where mine sometimes sits -- mightn't the laminate warp? Or would they somehow finish the back edge in this application? With granite or quartz, the drywall might absorb some water behind the tile, but the counter will keep its integrity. Laminate will go mushy, won't it? I would love to know the answer and hope an expert will chime in....See MoreHelp choosing laminate countertop to match pink travertine backsplash
Comments (44)I meant to write Formica "Sea Salt" previously. The top cabinets remain Olympic Witch Hazel D10-2. The bottom are now Sherwin Williams Quietude. And, the backsplash remains. The tiles were removed from the countertops; they were adhered to laminate with mastic about twenty years ago. If you choose to comment, keep in mind that the goal was to keep the backsplash and to minimize demolition....See MoreRelated Professionals
