Kitchen Back Splash
There are many options to choose from when deciding on how to go about designing your kitchen. It can get expensive, fast. There is one product out on the Internet that isn’t expensive and beautiful all in one. It’s the tin ceiling back splash tile. This product comes in 80 colors and a variety of patterns.
The American Tin Ceiling Company powder coats. This is an electro-magnetic adhesion of paint particles to a metal surface. Just like a car finish. It can be cleaned with soap and water. This is such a strong process that the color will never fade and is permanent.
Not only is a kitchen back splash inexpensive and beautiful, but its also really easy to install! All it takes is a pair of metal shears and glue. The panels are cut to fit the dimension you need them and then applied to any wall with a glue (usually Liquid Nails) works best. If you are putting the panels over existing tiles, you can use AcrylPro.

How to install a back splash (backsplash).
It is pretty easy to install a back splash in your home under your cabinets. The best way to go about it is to measure the area you need to cover and select the appropriate amount of material. Always factor in around 10% more material than you would need for mistake protection. It is always neccessary to save money when ordering your material, but never a good idea to get ‘only what you need’. Everyone makes mistakes, even professionals.
When using tin backsplash material, one thing you should practice is using gloves! Once the panels are cut, it is razor sharp so be sure to protect yourself. A new pair of metal shears, or tin snips, does the job. The only issue with this tool is that it doesn’t do very good with straight cuts. I recommend using a wood molding to finish off those cuts that aren’t perfect. It’s metal so be understanding if it doesn’t work out as well as wood is in trimming and piecing together.
Tin backsplash panels have a nail-rail that surrounds the perimeter edge. The panels overlap on this edge all the way around. Traditionally it was hand hammered into a wood substrate (just like installing it for a ceiling installation). Although, with the use of drywall today, it is effecient to just glue it up with Liquid Nails (Projects and Foam board).
It’s that easy! Cut and glue directly to your wall. Below are two videos that show you exactly how its done!
