The Backsplash Installation Workflow Step by Step

1. Planning Your Tile Layout — Our team visits your kitchen to take accurate measurements and discuss design goals and budget. We help you select tile that fits both the kitchen dimensions and your taste.
2. Cleaning and Priming the Wall — Before any tile is set, your current wall is stripped of grease and dust and coated as needed to create a firm base. Any damaged drywall are repaired at this stage.
3. Planning the Tile Arrangement — Our installers arrange tiles in a dry run to visualize spacing and cuts prior to permanent setting. Doing this avoids uneven patterns near edges.
4. Spreading Adhesive and Placing Tiles — The appropriate mortar mix is laid down evenly using a grooved application tool. Individual tiles is then pressed firmly into place and kept even with tile spacers to maintain uniform grout lines.
5. Trimming Tile to Fit — At points where the tile runs into cabinet frames or pipes, exact measurements and cuts are required using a wet tile saw. The goal is no jagged lines or gaps.
6. Filling the Gaps with Grout — Once the mortar has cured, the appropriate grout color is selected and mixed and applied between each tile using a grout float. Grout haze is cleaned off with a damp sponge before it dries.
7. Finishing and Quality Check — Depending on the tile type, a protective sealant is used to guard against staining. The entire installation is then checked for evenness and finish before the project is handed over.
