Just last week I found myself wandering Home Depot looking for things I might need, things that might make my house better, things that might just change my life – the usual. And I found this unbelievable, new product – Tile Setting Mat by SimpleMat – that allows you to tile directly over an existing tiled back splash. This could be the most amazing thing to find me since my Dremel or it could be a incredible failure.
I had been wanting to replace the tile in our kitchen but was dreading the demo and drilling the cement board up in the tight nooks and crannies in between the cabinetry and the wall. With the Tile Setting Mat, I can apparently peel off the backing of a sheet, stick the adhesive side directly onto the existing tile, and then peel off the other side and stick the new tile on. Grout and done.
I’m seriously looking forward to sprucing up our kitchen with the “quickest, easiest, cleanest way to install tile” but am fully prepared for a disaster. For $25 for 10 square feet, it might just be worth a try!
