- STONE LEDGER KITCHEN BACKSPLASH - In this video, I am installing stone ledger tile to my kitchen backsplash. I am installing it with modified thinset over drywall. The instructions for the tile that I am using states that it can be installed on drywall at a height of 10 feet or shorter. Other tiles might have different requirements and have to be installed over cement backer board.

As a Tile installer , I have to say , amazing job. Congratulations.
I used a Dremel and cut the stone flush with the outlets on mine. Works great. Love the look of stone over tile.
Good idea! Thanks!
Looks amazing thanks for the tips. You can always paint with a laquer for a more wet look, and itll be easier to wipe down.
You have done a great job. We did the same as well in our kitchen and these tiles make our place looks 10x more expensive lol. Very pleased with the result.
I have had this backsplash. If you seal it with something like 511 it’s fine. I had it for years and cook daily.
Great job. I have the confidence now to tackle this on my own : ) Thank you!
Good to see you releasing videos again! I appreciate the tip on using the plastic bag to fill in the smaller gaps at the end.
Great job! I love the looks of the ledger stone. I will be doing an accent wall with it shortly.
Great job ma'am
Great looking work! Love the idea of applying sealant after the install and the pipping bag with grout technique is a great idea. Thanks!
Thank you for the video I just finished my backsplash and followed your video and it turned out great thanks for the help
I’m starting a similar backsplash project. Thanks for helping me with the video you provided. Looks awesome.
nice video and work. you did this better than lots of videos I have seen. great work!
Great video, talented lady... I'm installing the same rock today.
Just found your video..STUNNING! I learned a lot! ❤
Everything looks fantastic
What a significant improvement and I learned a lot from your video and explanation. I think I wll subscribe. There was something else, but I can't remember... OH! I would have opted for different style / color face plates.
Absolutely beautiful. The backsplash looks great as well.
Beautiful job! I am getting ready to do this behind my woodstove and you answered every one of my questions!
Like the piping of sand grout in spaces
Very impressive! Thank you for the great video, love your expertise. Please wear safety goggles and ear protection next time. Love, Mom.
Thank you!
Great how-to. I'm planning mine out and was looking at the exact same tile saw as well.
I like that tile saw. I have used it for a few projects now, and it has done really well.
Absolutely brilliant and beautiful, you too😊❤
I all of a sudden feel motivated after watching this.
Same lol wish my look about to tackle this at my friends restaurant on the bathroom backsplash
Nice job
Wow very beautiful love it
I'm getting this done tomorrow albeit with a tiler who will be doing the work, I could never do this on my own. You did an absolutely fantastic job!
Looks great!
good job looks real nice
That looks amazing, but I imagine it's also very difficult to keep clean.
Awesome natural work✨
I am considering this EXACT tile, color and everything for this exact application. Was so wonderful to find you video so i could see how it will look up....I LOVE IT! You did an outstanding job! 🎉
PS-what type of under-the-cabinet lighting do you have? It looks so pretty.
Thank you. I am glad you found the video helpful.
Amazing job. Looks awesome.
I've watched several of your videos now and you're pretty versitle. You do everything. I did notice in this video you seemed to have a bit of a problem when you tried cutting a circle with your hole saw. I discovered something that will make life easier if or when you do it again. Take your hole saw and make a cut in a piece of plywood scrap. That piece might be the size of the bottom of a shoe box or something. Once you make that cut in the wood place that piece of wood over the tile or stone you want to make the cut in. Lean on it or somehow put a little pressure on it so that it doesn't move. Then you can make the cut in the stone and the wood will keep the hole saw from jumping around.
I liked your idea of selecting stone that you use to go around the outlets. I did that to and then decided that I would just put the time in and make exact cuts to just go around the switch plate. Just a preference I guess. Anyway, I enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up.
Great idea, thank you!
Please redo the outlets. This is in a kitchen area where liquids or water vapor can get between the cracks and rust out the connections which can result in a wide range of problems. If you Drexel out the protruding stones to make them flush with the most recessed stones, the outlet cover can sit flush and close those gaps, prolonging the life of the outlet and creating a safer environment.
Caulk is an option, but we all know caulk has a limited life before it cracks and the issue returns.
Thanks for the tip!
Do you have a picture of this with the outlet cover off and on? Would love to see. Thanks.
Nice job. Looks 👍
The tile was cut to big around the power outlets. The flange should be sitting rite on top of the tile also by code the electrical boxes have to be extended out to the edge of the face of the tile to protect from fire and electric shock.
It’s still a good looking job just skipping these steps will give your insurance company a reason not to pay out anything if house burns down.
Great job cowgirl!!!
Great work! Im motivated!
Good job !!
Better to seal the stone the day before you put it on the wall..The thinset that gets on the stone will come right off if sealed before install.National electrical code says you must use box extensions to bring the outlets out. They makes many different box extensions all color coded.Never use spacers.DIY is good but you should always follow building and electrical codes for your area...Looks nice..
Thank you, I’m doing this and my fear is leakage. 😊
Great work
Great job!
Love it!! Great job 👍
Good job
It turned out great!!! Nice job!
Thanks!
Well done great effort 👏👏
Nice Job!!!! Looks super good!!! 😃
thank you!
Nice Job!
Thank you!
Really great work.
Thank you
Good job!
Beautiful!!!!!!
You are a genius 🔥🔥
Nice job!!!
nice job! it is cheaper than peel and stick just added work but you will get a long lasting beautiful look! I actually got some carrera marble on clearance for 3$ a tile 12×12..it was just enough to do a backsplash for my bathroom..in my area the peel n stick was 9$ a tile..wow like way more than I wanted to spend! I just dont understand what the craze is over the peel n stick!
Wow, I didn't realize that peel and stick was so expensive
Gorgeous!!! ❤️
Love your videos and how you explain what & how you are doing everything. Your backsplash looks amazing with the wood counter top. I want to do this in a farmhouse. But we have concerns that the upkeep on a wood counter top would be a lot. What preventive things are needed and maintenance for a wood kitchen countertop?
Sorry for the late response. The wood counter tops have actually surprised me at how easy they are to take care of. I finished them with tung oil, which was really easy. Pretty much all you have to do is apply more tung oil every few months. And you just wipe it on, so it only takes a few minutes. I just did a new video doing a one year review on the countertops. It might help you decide if you want wood countertops or not. I really like them.
Thanks 👍
I would put tape over the plugs to keep thin set out.
Nice backsplash, but i can't imagine how you'll clean it.
Hhhhhh same question I do that in shower is nice to see but not easy for Leah
Gotta seal it with high gloss concrete sealer so u can clean it
Looks good except the outlet covers. Some stone mfg make matching stone looking outlet covers.
Do you have to use a special outlet box so a protrudes out past the stone? I’m redoing my kitchen now and I’m curious about how I’ll get the outlets in the box if I’ve got half an inch of stone poking out.
9:10 The cracks were because you weren't paying attention when you prepped the materials. This could have been easily fixed with the wet saw.
Nice job can this cladding be used outside on a garden wall
How do you keep them shits clean? Just dust them once in awhile?
What kind of tile saw did you use for this?
Go girl!
Thumbs up!
What kind of blade for angle grinder?
Looks great 😊
What is the make /model of the stone? I like the look
How to clean this stone pls??
I got a ten foot wall I wanna do let's see if it come out like this
Looks amazing! I had my kitchen redone with smaller stones and some kept falling off on install so the installer added more mortar and now there are some dried mortar in front of it that I can’t remove. How do you remove them? I’m hoping to clean it before I seal. Thanks
that is going to be tricky. If it was a smooth tile, you could probably gently scrap it off with something like a chisel. But with stone, it is going to be really hard to get it off of that textured surface. That is why I am constantly cleaning the tile during install to make sure I don't have any thinset on the front of the tile.
Its probably been said, already but you need eye protection when cutting (3:30), especially if you are going to stick your face in close like that.
Did u use a 1/2 in trowel I'm doing the same thing this week I read to use a 1/ 4 but I might try this ,thanks
Hey! Did you paint your cabinets? If so can you share the color used? Love it!
Hi! Looks great. With the seller you applied. Did you find it effective. Worth doing?
Hard enough,keeping smooth tile back splash clean..
How do you know where to cut it? Just kinda of like puzzle pieces?
She's using the wrong mortar for this tile. We tried to do our fireplace with that, it slid all around. You want to use a rapid setting mortar on walls because the tile is so heavy. It will not stay in place.
nope. she used the right kind of thinset. yours was too not thick enough if your tiles were sliding around.
Hi love ur video think u did a wonderful job and I learned alot from this...but I have 1 question, im a professional painter for over 20 years plus, and we've always used water to smooth out. So I'm curious why Denature alcohol? I'm getting ready to do a job and they want me to add the same stone.
Thank you! I used alcohol because I was using a silicone based caulk. Water doesn't work very well to smooth out the silicone. Water works great for smoothing water based caulk, which I am guessing is what you mostly use as a painter.
Hey, thanks for sharing! Helps me a lot! Are you in audea?
Also are those spacers working good for you, thanks
SAFETY GOGGLES!!!
Looks nice but it stains. Not a good backslash choice if u cook at home much
I was wondering about that because I cook very often at home
A good sealer will keep it from staining. Along with staying on top of general cleaning.
Somebody never sealed there stone. FYI all stone will stain if you don’t seal it👍🏻
What do you use for a sealer@@jeffwoods9404
You need a rock-themed light switch plate.
How do you clean that type of backsplash near the stove.
Anyone
Hi could you put individual pirates and make your own design? Ty
nice job but next time color matched caulk does a cleaner job than the piping bag technique and less work
Question I see u went all the way up. are u putting a over the range microwave will that affect installing it. Because that what I’m doing. Now.
No, I am not putting a microwave above the range. You probably want to stop at the bottom of the microwave.
Anyone have any ideas for an alternative to outlet covers with this? Could you maybe form mortar around just the sockets without a cover to give it a more integrated look?
Some people mentioned using a drimmel around the outlets to make the stones flat, that way the outlet cover will lay flat.
Great video, thank you!
Do you know how often should we seal the tiles? Once a year or is it just a one time thing?
You do have to reapply the sealant, but I wasn't sure how often. I had to look it up on the product website. For the sealant I used (511 Impregnator Sealer) this is what the company recommends. " Typically we recommend re-application on flooring every 1-3 years for commercial flooring and every 3-10 years for residential flooring. We recommend re-application every 1-3 years on counters and every 3-20 years on vertical surfaces." That is straight from the company website - www.rustoleum.com/pages/homeowner/faqs/miracle-sealants-faqs
Your kitchen looks great! I’m redoing mine & trying to get ideas , what color is on your cabinets? Mine are cream colored & wanting to change. Thank you
The cabinets are "Software" by Sherwin Williams
@@CountryGirlLiving Thank you🌻
Now that you have been living with this backsplash, how in the world do you keep it clean? I love the look, but I am concerned about the maintenance. Would love a follow-up. THANKS
I have had it for about a year now and have not had any trouble keeping it clean. I have splashed spaghetti sauce on it a time and two, and it just wipes right off. The sealer that I put on it helps with this.
@@CountryGirlLivinghow would you remove it if you didn’t want it anymore?
Great instructional video. What is the name of the stone manufacturer? The stone I'm looking at is Beachwalk Splitface and weighs about 6 pounds per panel. The manufacturer says drywall is not suitable. Did you look into that aspect? Our backsplash is 14" talk x 12' long. Did you ever consider mastic such as AcrylPro? Seems like it would be easier to work with.
Keep up the good work!
The brand name of the tile that I used is Satori. It came from Lowes (link in video description). The instructions for the tile that I used said that it could be used on drywall for up to 10ft in height. But every tile is different, so follow the instructions for your tile. Some do require concrete backer board instead of drywall. I didn't use mastic just because this tile was so heavy. Thanks for watching!
Safety glasses on please 😊
Go to the river bed and get river rocks.
What did you use to cut the tiles at the wall ?
Amazing how learn how do it??
You need to wear PPE when cutting any materials. Your eyes, lungs and skin will absorb the dust particles from cutting the tiles.
