Tile on Countertops! Part III

Tile is hard! Things will break on the tile! Murphy's law suggests however, that if it's valuable, it'll break on Formica, wood, tile, Corian, granite or whatever you put on the countertop! All of these surfaces will generally break whatever falls upon them! -- particularly if it's valuable!

Installation is not difficult and should not be very expensive. We encourage the removal of the old Formica backsplash to give you another inch of counterspace to give a greater area for the new backsplash tile that you select and install after the new countertop has been installed! The sink should be removed and reset down on top of the new tile countertop. It's not a difficult job but we recommend that when putting in the new countertop it's also the time to consider a new sink and fixtures and these installations are most often accomplished by your plumber.

Unless the Formica or other countertop covering is loose and or severely damaged, modern glues allow us to install the tile directly to the old countertop material with no difficulties. The old cabinets and countertops can be recycled if you like with no muss or fuss in your kitchen! There is no tear out mess or construction activity in your kitchen. In most cases you'll only have the excuse to have to go out to dinner because you have no kitchen to cook in for only one night!
