Tile backsplash?

Question

I saw tiles on HGTV once for a bathroom (I want to use them for a kitchen backsplash) they are small tiles but they are attached to each other by a piece of mesh on the back, and you just peel the paper off the back and slap it on the wall, then grout over it. What are these, where can I find it, etc?

Answer 1

a lot of different types of tiles are mounted on a mesh backing.  they are usually small tiles on 12x12 sheets or oblong design pieces used as a border or transition.  if you saw sheets or tile with a mesh backing that had a piece of paper that peeled off, then chances are it's glass tile.  the mesh goes toward the wall and paper peeled off after installation.  glass tiles are the only tiles i've seen with the paper layer on them.  they can be rather pricey--usually between $20-35 per foot.  check with your local tile distributor and look at their selection of glass tiles and see what else they might off that catches your fancy.  :)  good luck!

Answer 2

They are 12" Mosaic Tile sheets  and are easily available at most home stores. Good Luck!

Answer 3

Mosaic tile sheets, and you should be able to find them at most home improvement stores, like Home Depot, etc.
