Behind Kitchen Cabinet Need Tiles Or Not?

Featured Replies

According to my ID, he said most of the renovation opted for not laying tiles behind cabinet?

Is this point logic? could behind easily get ants without tiles? any advice? thanks for any input here

Lay tiles zhun zhun left cabinet space? Then measure to make cabinet? Is that correct? Thanks

Yeah something like that. Because tiling is wet works, so that will have to be done up 1st.

If u r hacking walls or tiles away, it makes more economical sense to not tile up behind the kitchen cabinet.

This is because u may never live to see that wall again :sport-smiley-004:

not sure will be so zhun or not.

My contractor add 1/2 tiles on my existing wall b'coz he said my previous owner contractor any how do.

Do the cabinet until so low, he said if follow their, will knock tio head.

However if you plan to do glass backing, tiles also can no need to hack.

I put my glass backing w/o hacking the old tiles.

so it's common not to lay tiles behind the cabinets...

am scared of ants breeding in the holes etc...but then if lay tiles, the cost is a couple of thousands.. :jawdrop:

maybe dont lay tiles can save the money...

Hi, usually they have to plaster even the walls follow by white paint. Very standard practice.
