Self stick tile for my kitchen to go over top of ceramic tile?
I am looking into self stick tile from stickandgo.com for my kitchen. My kitchen has ceramic tile already installed and I despise it and have for years. I do not want to put a big investment into this house as I do not plan on living there for much over 2 more years. I just want to cover it up and make it look better. This site seems pretty legit and only deals with self stick tile.
Anyone know of pros or cons? Have any suggestions?
This tile is located as a backsplash
Cons would be that it costs close to $10 a square foot. I also doubt that it looks as good in person as the site claims. I’ve installed a lot of surface coverings, including tile-textured vinyl wallpaper and a variety of “peel and stick” material and they rarely look that convincing when they are right under your nose, as a countertop backsplash would be. That’s a lot of money for a coverup job,
And you don’t say where the tile is installed. Walls? Countertop? Floors? That “stickandgo” is strictly for walls, not any area that would have moisture lying on it or traffic. If it is just your walls it would be a lot cheaper just to hire someone to tear off the ceramic tile and put up something different. It only cost me $6 a square foot for labor and $3 for material to have a real ceramic subway tile back splash installed in my kitchen last year. It would be even less if you did it yourself.
If you are thinking of covering a floor, look at the Trafficmaster Allure material at Home Depot — excellent product and about $2 a square foot. Installs like a dream, completely waterproof, can go over an uneven surface, adheres to itself, not what is behind it (it “floats”), easy to remove later, and both the tile and wood versions look and feel absolutely real. We did my friend’s large bathroom with it in less than 4 hours last winter and it looks like a hardwood floor and holds up to anything. I used the slate-look tiles in my breakfast room of my previous house and everyone who saw it thought it was real stone.
If it’s your countertops, it is easy and cheap to replace countertops with new laminate and the new laminates are not your Grandma’s formica — many look like high-end granite and even metals.

Foo Fighters $5.33 Assuming former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl dreads the thought of forever being known as “the guy from Kurt Cobain’s band,” the last thing he’d want to hear is that the debut album from his new band Foo Fighters sounds much like one from the deceased duke of grunge. Unfortunately, Nirvana comparisons are not only inevitable, they’re bound to consume the dialog surrounding his quartet entirely. Per… |
