Description: a blog about life in the mitten state
We closed on our new house the Friday before Christmas at 5pm. Given the time constraints with the holidays we were moving in the next 15 hours, no matter what. We hired movers for 8am on Saturday, which left us with a tough decision. Do we tile our kitchen back splash before we move in or after we move in?
I had read a few other posts about tile mat products, which eliminates the mortar step from the tiling process. You can check out this one or this one here . We were feeling a little nervous about how durable and the long-term strength of the material, but decided to give it a try. The worst that could happen is our back splash starts to fall off the wall and we have to re-do it using mortar.
So I went to the hardware store and found these precut tile setting mats by Simplemat.
