I need to install this on a glass tile kitchen backsplash? Will I be able to do that? Any suggestions on the best methodology?

Only if you have the tools to drill through glass (not a trivial task). The other alternative is to glue it on with a good epoxy... there is not much stress on it when you pull off aknife, so it should hold. Good luck!

You can, I would suggest getting some strong "permanent" double sided tape. We found some at JoAnns. It was the only thing that worked on our metal door to hold our door knocker on.

If you are talking about a ceramic tile type backsplash I would say you could if very careful if you drill it. I would drill slowly and use wall anchors to hold the screws.

I believe you should be able to purchase a glass drill bit (Made for for drilling glass). Drill some pilot holes, and then gently screw it in with some rubber washers, to prevent the glass from cracking from pressure.

This will work on your backsplash. You will want to use a bead of chalk, or adhesive (Liquid Nails) along the inside corner of the counter and backsplash to help keep them tight in the corner. If the underside of your counter is that rough particle board, you will want to use Liquid Nails or something like that. If the underside is smooth, you shouldn't need any adhesive.

Instead of the screws into wood or a sheetrock attachment device you could attach the back plate with liquid nails, but I don't know if I would trust it. The front magnetic panel holds to the back plate by magnetic force, and it's quite strong. It works well with screws, but I wonder if the magnetic force would pull the liquid nails off the tile.

No, I'd suggest a mechanical fastener. The glaze on the tile will make it difficult for the epoxy to hold.

Yes! We have had them as a backsplash including over the stove for over a year now, and as long as they are sealed properly you shouldn't have any issue with it. The seal also brings out the colors in the stone so don't be discouraged if it doesn't look like the picture right away. They are really beautiful tiles.

I have mine on the glass. I would think it would stick if it is a smooth tile but mine is textured.

Rebecca, that is not what its intended to do. BUT Rustoleum has a great product called, Tile Transformations...I am preparing to use it on my tile kitchen counters and backsplash after using their Deck Restore this summer that saved me thousands of dollars in porch and deck replacement. They have come up with some great products for DIY folks. Go to the Rustoleum.com website and get the skinny on your tile backsplash. Or you can give them a call, their folks are really helpful. Any of their products take time (but little skill). I think you will be pleased...and no, I don't work for them, but sure do recommend them. Rebecca, that is not what its intended to do.

Cant give much insight on backsplash under glass tiles, but as far as the edges go, I would do the granite paint on the edges. I think it would look better than painting the color of the cabinets. The biggest problem we had was that our laminate was not only on the counter surface but also went up the back and one side about 5 inches. It was kind of difficult to get the granite paint to look right where the back/side and top met, and in the corner. I would recommend taping some plastic or brown paper on a good-sized portion of the counter where it meets the back, and doing the back first. After the back dries, I would then cover the back with plastic or the brown paper and paint the counter top.

I mounted mine on a tile backsplash using the strips and it works just fine. When removing a knife from the strip, twist it before pulling away from the strip.

I concur with A. Eller. I measured 2.5 inches so it may just work if you can live with it touching the backsplash but I would consider other options.

I did a little research and I would have to say, don't do it yourself. Go to or call a tileing store (Tile America) and get some professional answers. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Dear Ramsay These tile are peal and stick and it's very simple to install just peal the paper in the back and stick it to the floor How ever we always recommend to use extra glue if you want the tile to last longer

I just did this! Tear it off carefully from the back. You'll have to use a razor blade to completely remove the silicon from the back and wall. Then, go to Target and buy a tube of waterproof silicon and install the same way you installed the first time. Walah!

It does not come with a backsplash. I called the company and they don't have one available for this vanity either. We used high gloss white subway tiles with white caulking and it looks good. Not my first choice but it did turn out nice.

I think it would work fine for a backsplash (no huge amount of water will sit very long vertically), however it's probably not as good as a dedicated sealer. If you're sealing new grout for the first time I'd go with an oil based product.

Yes, I have mine as a backsplash and its beautiful. It looks like real brick and really updated the kitchen.

I would think the Scotch Permanent Mounting Tape would work well for this purpose. I understand that with ceramic tile, you don't want to go through the hassle of drilling holes and sinking masonry screws. The tape will stick extremely well to the ceramic tile, and it should do OK with the plastic (or whatever) that your paper towel holder is made of. But be sure everything is squeaky clean ... use alcohol or a degreasing cleaner to remove any traces of oil or other substances (even if it seems the surfaces are clean). Since you'll be tugging on the paper towels, I'd advise putting as long a strip of tape as your holder will accommodate. This will give you extra holding power. Also, with any double-sided tape, I've found that it's best to (1) press the tape firmly in place for 60 seconds or so, and (2) let the tape "cure" for awhile before you put stress on it. The bond seems to grow stronger with time. Thus, this waiting period gives it a chance to achieve maximum adhesion before any demands are made on it.
