“Metal?” you say, “For my backsplash?” I say yes. Whether it
is simply metal accent tiles, a liner to set off a more decorative area over
your sink or range or the entire backsplash, metal tiles are a great way to add
drama and make a statement. Typically, metal is perceived as a cold material.
With all of the finishes available, metal tile can provide warmth, age,
texture, sleekness or a clean feel to your space.
Metal tiles come in all shapes, sizes and finishes. From
subway tiles to small round accent tiles to pressed metal sheets resembling
antique pressed tin. Stainless steel, copper and bronze metal finishes. The options
and possibilities are endless. The care and use of metal tile varies with the manufacturer
so make sure you ask about oxidation, scratching, cleaning products and
sealing.
Metal tile installation will vary be each product and
manufacturer. They will give you detailed instructions and recommendations and
it is always best to follow their recommendations. Special saw blades may be
needed to trim and cut metal tile. Again, the manufacturer or supplier can
answer that question for you. It is always better to ask before you begin the
project than when you are in the middle of it and find out you do not have the
correct materials.
Drama can be added to your backsplash with metal tile. Use
metal tiles for your entire backsplash or just a few for accents. Either way,
you are creating something unique for your home and your space.
