Beyond Bending Tell You How
Are you looking for an easy way to add a stylish touch to your kitchen or bathroom? Installing a peel and stick backsplash can transform your space without breaking the bank. With its hassle-free installation process, you can complete the project in just a few hours. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to install peel and stick backsplash in your home.
Step 1: Preparation
Before beginning the installation process, it’s important to prepare the surface where you’ll be placing the peel and stick backsplash. Start by cleaning the wall with a degreaser and a sponge. Remove any dust or debris, and let the surface dry completely.
Step 2: Measure and Cut
Measure the area where you’ll be installing the backsplash. Use a pencil to mark where you’ll need to make cuts. For a precise cut, use a straight edge and a razor blade to cut along the marked lines.
Step 3: Peel the Backing
Peel the backing paper off a small section of the backsplash. Align the top edge of the backsplash with the pencil line you made earlier. Using a squeegee, smooth out the backsplash as you go, removing any air bubbles.
Step 4: Continue Installing
Continue installing the backsplash, one section at a time, until you’ve covered the entire area. As you work, make sure the tiles are level and even.
Step 5: Cut Around Obstacles
If you come across any obstacles, such as outlets or switches, cut the backsplash to fit around them. Make sure to cut the tiles precisely to avoid gaps.
Step 6: Finish the Edges
Once you’ve installed the backsplash, finish the edges with trim pieces. These pieces are designed to fit over the exposed edges and create a clean, finished look.
Step 7: Clean Up
After completing the installation, clean up any adhesive residue with a damp cloth. Dispose of any scraps or excess materials.
