Metal: Yup, it’s real (lightweight) metal-usually aluminum-with a sticky adhesive. Vinyl: Made with foam or plastic backing, this tile tends to be the cheapest on the market, starting at $8 for a set of eight panels. One way to choose the right tile for your home is to think about the material you want to feature and go from there. This may cause mold, mildew, or other water damage behind the vanity.Peel-and-stick tile, like traditional tile, comes in a variety of materials. My thought: if there is any water that gets splashed onto the area where the vanity and tile meet, the caulk will prevent the water from running behind the vanity/wall. This is not a step listed to do by the manufacturers. I thought a bead of kitchen and bath silicon caulk where the vanity meets the wall would provide the vanity/wall with added moisture protection. If everything looks good move onto step 3. Pencil in on the back of the adhesive where outlets and straight cuts will need to be made. At this time, mark where any cuts need to be made. With the backing still intact place tiles on the wall to see how high and far you want the tiles will go. Once the area you will be tiling is clean and dry, do a dry fit of where you want the tiles to go. Rinse thoroughly with clean water a couple of times. 
I like to use Krud Kutter on areas where a lot of grease and other gunk has built up. If there is any heavy grease or grime, use a grease cutting product. However, if there as holes or other problem areas patching, priming, and paining may be needed.Ĭlean all surfaces where the tiles will be attached thoroughly with a mild detergent (dish soap) and warm water to remove any soiling. If walls are smooth a good cleaning will suffice.
Wet saw to cut tiles (I used a Dremel tool with a diamond blade). White silicone caulk (kitchen and bathroom caulk). Peel&Stick tile sheets (only sheets were needed to do the bathroom vanity backsplash). If there are people using that bathroom who get water everywhere (small kids) than these are probably not the best choice. However, in this particular bathroom, not much water gets on that area. There is the potential for excessive water in a bathroom. In my own home, these were installed as a backsplash to a bathroom vanity. This particular product would not be recommended for shower areas(splashing, moisture, and humidity), pools, or as flooring (they will crack, somewhat delicate). According to the product recommendations, Peel&Stick Mosaic tiles are to be used indoors on areas that will remain mostly dry (think outer area of fireplace, backsplashes, and walls). In my opinion, with the adhesive backing this is the perfect product for a beginner DIY’er who needs an instant WOW factor in a room. The marble looking pieces match while the other shimmering accent pieces look so beautiful together. I was stunned when I got these peel and stick tile sheets home and put them next the the marble vanity top. The look of these is of natural stone with the tiles varying in length and depth. Therefore, you will want to be sure the placement is exactly where you want them before adhering them (dry fit). This makes them easy to install, however once they are pressed down, they will not come back up without damage to the walls. These Peel & Stick Moasic Natural Stone Tiles are a grout-less variety that are evenly spaced with a super sticky adhesive backing on them. Peel and Stick Tile Sheets A little more about these wonder tiles… As will if there are many cuts and obstacles (outlets and other things to cut around). If tiling a larger area of course it will take longer. In total this project took about an hour to complete from start to finish. I grabbed a few sheets and headed out to begin this easy DIY project. Best yet, these peel and stick tiles are grout-less, ceramic (most peel and stick are vinyl), had a sticky backing, and inexpensive! This was a total win. I thought it would look beautiful and match the existing vanity top. 
Ultimately, I went with a marble look ceramic tile. There were a few options that were stone rather than vinyl. I went googlie eyed! This was just what I didn’t know I needed in the bathroom. One afternoon I was at Lowes picking up some sanded caulk to re-caulk my bathtub when I spotted some beautiful Carrara marble look Peel&Stick tile sheets. This inspiration was very random actually. I left the vanity area without a backsplash of any sort while trying to decide what to do until I was inspired.
