Yes, tin tiles are an excellent choice for a backsplash. They’re not only visually striking but also highly functional. Tin tiles are:

-Durable – Resistant to heat and moisture.

-Stylish – Available in a wide range of patterns and finishes to suit any décor.

-Easy to Clean – A quick wipe with a damp cloth keeps them looking new.

-Lightweight and Easy to Install – Perfect for DIY projects.

Whether you want a vintage flair or a modern metallic accent, tin tiles make a great backsplash solution.

All Panels are 2' x 2'. We do recommend that you use a 6" repeating pattern, so that when you cut the panels, they are visually forgiving. Larger patterns seem to overwhelm the small area.

No, all of the panels would be 24" x 24". This will also allow you to use behind larger areas such as your cooktop. In areas less than 24", you can easily cut the panels to fit.

Absolutely. Tin makes a great backsplash material for several reasons:

Pros:

-Heat-Resistant: Safe to use behind stoves and cooktops.

-Moisture-Resistant: With proper sealing, tin can withstand splashes and steam.

-Easy Maintenance: Simply clean with a mild detergent and soft cloth.

-Budget-Friendly: Offers a high-end look without the high-end price.

Things to Consider:

-Susceptible to Dents: Tin is a soft metal, so handle with care during installation.

-Edge Sealing Needed: To avoid moisture getting behind the panels, be sure to properly seal edges and seams.

Overall, tin is both beautiful and practical, making it an ideal choice for kitchen or bathroom backsplashes.

1. Measure and Plan: Accurately measure the backsplash area and plan the layout.
2. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the wall is clean, dry, and smooth.
3. Cut the Tiles: Use tin snips or a guillotine cutter for precise cuts.
4. Apply Adhesive: Use a recommended adhesive like Loctite Power Grab.
5. Install Tiles: Press tiles firmly onto the wall, starting from the center and working outward.
6. Secure with Nails (Optional): For added stability, especially with Nail-Up panels.
7. Finish Edges: Use trim pieces for a polished look.

Installation is DIY-friendly. You’ll need a straight edge, utility knife, caulk gun (for adhesive), tin snips (for cutting), and protective gloves. A level and measuring tape will also help ensure clean, accurate placement.

Tin tiles can be easily cut using tin snips or a guillotine cutter. Always wear gloves and safety goggles—tin edges can be sharp. For cleaner cuts around outlets or corners, score the tile first with a utility knife.

Turn off power to the area first. Then, measure and mark your cutouts directly on the tile. Carefully cut the openings using tin snips, and install the tile so that the outlet or switch plate fits neatly over the edges.

Our tin backsplash tiles are designed with DIYers in mind! With the right tools and a little patience, most homeowners can install them over a weekend. That said, if your space has tricky angles or electrical cutouts, a professional can help make sure it’s done right.

Yes! All of our tin tiles are heat-resistant and safe to use behind stoves, cooktops, and ranges. For added protection, we recommend sealing seams to prevent moisture from getting behind the panels.

Absolutely. Tin tiles are naturally resistant to moisture and humidity, making them a great option for bathroom backsplashes. Just make sure all edges and seams are properly sealed for long-term durability.

Yes! Tin tiles can be installed over painted drywall or existing tile surfaces. Just make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. Lightly sanding glossy paint can also help improve adhesion.

Our panels have a 1/4" overlapping nail rail, that overlap during installation, allowing for a transition from one panel to the next.

The edge trim is a nice finishing touch for the panels, especially where you end with a cut piece. For corner molding, it makes for a smooth transition in 90 degree inside corners. Typically where the panels meet the counter top, you will not need edge trim.

No, you will need to use a construction adhesive purchased separately.

We recommend using a high-quality construction adhesive like Loctite Power Grab. It provides strong adhesion to most surfaces, including drywall, plywood, and even existing tile (as long as it’s clean and smooth).

You can install them before the cabinets, although the most common installation is after you have cabinets and counters installed.

Tin tiles are coated to resist rust, but like any metal product, they can rust if the protective finish is damaged or if moisture seeps behind them.

To prevent rust:

-Choose tiles with a sealed, powder-coated, or painted finish.

-Use a high-quality adhesive to create a moisture barrier.

-Seal all seams and edges to block water from getting behind the tiles.

-Clean with non-abrasive cleaners and avoid harsh chemicals or steel wool.

With proper installation and care, your tin backsplash will stay rust-free for years.

Our tin tiles come with a protective finish, but we recommend sealing any seams, edges, or cuts—especially in wet or high-humidity areas—to keep moisture from getting behind the tiles.

Tin tiles are easy to maintain. Just use a soft cloth and mild soap or dish detergent mixed with warm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads, which could damage the finish.
