How to get those small glass tiles installed on your kitchen walls easily, Check our Amazon Link to get your double sided tape. amzn.to/3RYSPYW -Amazon double sided tile tape.
Would have been nice to include some demonstration of actually mounting the tile to the adhesive. Not to mention cutting holes in glass tile for receptacles. I notice these steps are conveniently left out of the demo.
I’m looking for a video using these type backsplash sheets that actually show you how to cut around the receptacles. I thought this would be the one! 😩
Great idea for an inexperienced home owner. Thin set can get pretty messy for any beginner diyer so this is a great alternative for those who don't want to deal with the mess. Thanks for the idea.
I always cut my sheet tile in the package to. Keeps the tiles from flopping around as well as keeps the mesh and tile from falling apart from the water.
Great Video and very informative. I'm going to attempt my kitchens backsplash this weekend. Quick question, how did you determine the grout color? The times you used in this video are very similar to the ones in going to install.
I always pick a neutral grout color, I also try to go a little darker than I want as the color seems to wash out sometimes. Thank you for your support!
Interesting. I was just looking at that same exact backwash for my kitchen. Idk why I thought I could just come home peel a sticker off the back and slap it up on the wall. 🤣 well now I know at least thanks to this video. I'll have to look more into these.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, it is a helpful tip! Do you think this method will work with "tile over tile"? Meaning can I place this paper over my current tiles and lay subway tiles on top?
I don't like using this term, but OMG!! Thank you! never even heard of using double-backed adhesive tape (Specialty I know) for tile work, but makes so much sense. (Heading to my local store now...)
@@constructionhacks9293 Very welcome. As mentioned, I went to local hardware store and picked up a roll of the adhesive and except for finishing trim and around the outlets, I was able to finish the majority of my kitchen project last night, thanks in part to your post. Keep up the great work!
@@constructionhacks9293 Maybe if you had put more thought into your demonstration of the product you would had have far more positive comments. We're not about boot licking here, we came to learn something. Didn't learn much to be honest.
How do you adjust the tiles once they are placed on the adhesive? At least with thin set the tiles float and you and maneuver them and place spacers to make sure they arent all over the map. What is your process for those situations?
Thanks for the video. Preparing to do my kitchen with similar tile. If I. didn't use the wetsaw, is their a manual mosaic glass cutter that you would suggest.
Thanks for supporting our channel!!! I like your name “independent liberty” I’m glad we can exercise these as long as it’s not on you tube. Then you get judged for being independent and exercising liberty in the trades!!!
@@1999tenorio Thanks for supporting our channel I agree it’s only a backsplash tile fastened to drywall, nobody’s walking on it, nobody’s building a house on it so yes these folks that can’t think outside of their box can get extremely offended and blow things outa proportion: So thank you again for your support 🙏🙏🙏
Im doing tiny/ skinny tiles for my kitchen. Can you post a video of cutting out the plug ins/light switches?! Im using the bond tape to apply the tiles on just like your video.
Left out some steps. How do you peel or activate the other side of double sided adhesive stuff? Does the back of the tile have adhesive too? How did you place the first section of backsplash????
@@cristinagotcher2759 The point of the video is not to show you how to install tile on your backsplash but to use the double-sided sticky tape! Thanks for your support!
sir, your product find very nice. i would like to inform you that i have developed a actual sheet glass tile. which can be mounted on bathroom,kitchen side walls with cement.it can be produce with verious colours and designe. l hope for your reply . thanks.
Hey Susie thanks for your comment and your support we’ve been using this for years and we’ve never had an issue the key is to prep the drywall with some sort of primer and make sure everything is extremely clean!
Our carbon dating method hack shows it will fall off after drywall deterioration at 2 million years from now but studies show we may be one million years off of this estimate. So give or take a million or two years. Thanks for supporting our channel!!!
Lol on the rigid saw....doesn't matter what kind but wet saw is prefferred, use a diamond blade in the saw, in an angle grinder, or on a roto zip to cut glass
I need a how to remove tile… everything i find is like glass or porcelain but my kitchen came with wood (different sizes, lengths and depth) but they are sheets and Im trying to do it will as little wall damage as possible……got any suggestions? I dont know how to separate the individual pieces…..
Did you put a metal strip at the edges? We are having the backsplash done and they put a metal edge which I absolutely hate. It looks cheap and I wish there was something else to put on there. Some are not even cut right. They are coming back tomorrow to grout everything.
Hi Esther, I usually go all the way to a wall or cabinet but you can put a boarder piece in instead of the metal, its about your preference. you can find nice boarder trim pieces in the tile isle at Lowes! thanks for your support!
@@constructionhacks9293 you should watch renovision hosted by jeff thorman. He has tons of videos of DIY tutorials by a master handyman. The one reoccurring thing that keeps being said on many you tubers is “simple mat from Lowe’s” hold a certain weight threshold for these double sided tape begin to lose its adhesiveness very quick. That’s half Assing a tile job that can cost a few thousand to fix. A tile that consist of natural stone and glass will fall off and if that is in a place where there is a lot of heat and humidity, lmao... ya.. Not something you want to skimp on if you want to do something right... Work smarter > cutting corners
@@marlonestrella8105 If you don’t do the prep work and you put the tape on a greasy or glossy wall sure it has the possibility of falling off just as any method can fail if not done properly, but this method done right works great!!! you should try it!!! And again I’d love to see your video on how you do it!!!
I would use that stuff on a rental, maybe...not for a kitchen remodel though. Considering the cost of that type of glass tile, you might as well do it right and mortar the tiles on. They will last for 50+ years if you do it the right way.
David the times were we’ve had to remove the tile using this double-sided tile tape on the wall,,, it rips the drywall off the wall I’ve never had a problem with the tile coming off, I’m glad your motor works for you but it’s easier to remove mortared on tile because this tape works better,,, prep your walls properly. Good Luck and thanks for supporting our channel.
@@constructionhacks9293 it’s all good until the adhesive breaks down. I don’t doubt it can work if the wall is prepped right. I’ve done countless kitchen remodels and used all sorts of 3M adhesive products. Climate matters, whether or not it’s on an exterior wall matters, etc etc. Mortar is tried true and tested and lasts 50+ years if mixed and applied correctly. Read manufacturer warranties for products- most porcelain, glass, ceramic etc tiles call for mortar or thin-set adhesive. If you were using individual tiles I would be less reluctant because of the surface area on contact with adhesive. The fibrous mat that holds these tiles together is all that is holding the tile between the wall and adhesive, and as you know if you’ve worked with a lot of this tile, they can easily come loose from that mat. Its certainly a hack to save time, but there are very few legitimate shortcuts in construction that actually have the same longevity as doing the job by manufacturers installation guidelines.
@@constructionhacks9293 I’m not hating, it’s a clever idea. I’ve done stuff like this in a pinch but always been up front about the trade-offs and drawbacks with the homeowner, I think that’s the best way to go about it.
@@BoopyBopper i agree as a tile installing/tile service repair technician you should just use mortar and do it the right way the right way isn't much harder and you can make sure the tiles are lined up perfectly. The adhesive thing seems like something that would be done by someone who just wants to get the job done quick and not focus on the quality too much.
Wow! This was singularly awful! Half the time was spent putting up adhesive and cutting it that could have been inferred after about fifteen seconds. ALL the things I wanted to see about cutting for outlets and fitting the tile was done off camera and presented as a fait accompli. Not helpful at all.
Well. If you want to do the easiest way would be cutting all pieces of tile first and just use super Duty liquid nails if you don't want to deal with mortar you need something really strong.
I wouldn't call myself a professional, more of a Master Dr. of professional everything. You clearly have experience at the cheap stores, but I would not recommend the dollar tree. Grease up that elbow and go to Lowes, you can do it! Ps. These videos offend the people living inside a box so please be advised of this. Watch at your own risk, you may learn something and get a headache.
Extreme Recluse: You should loosen up your elbow and buy this more expensive double-sided tape. This is the 21st-century quit using the cheap mastic that falls apart over time!!!! And thank you for supporting our channel!!!
Seems no one shows how to finish edges that are not even⁉️ I just had same brick used as yours, but the edges are not even against cabinets or even under the Hood above the stove/range⁉️ What can be done please reply as it cost me a total of $400+ and I had the guys who said they could do this. They painted my entire condo…but this ended up obviously wrong SAD 😢 I was charged $250.00 to do the job. It wasn’t a lot to do-area wise.
Our simple videos do offend people with their noses in the air. Thanks for your support and please share the video you made that’s perfect…I can’t wait!
Most people dont have a expensive table saw, This video did nothing to enhance small 1 time projects, If I bought the saw it would be less to have it done, WTF Next video.
@Construction Hacks peel and stick is garbage and the stuff your using, you didnt even pull out the receptacles do go with the tile under the ears from the receptacles, i do tile and been doing it for over 15 years this stuff is garbage that your using
