DIY Stone Ledger Tile Kitchen Backsplash
DIY Stone Ledger Tile Kitchen Backsplash
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.

Nice job !
Now that you have had it for a while, how do you like it? Do you find that it is difficult to clean?
Good video. But I cringed when I saw you cutting the tile with the wet saw and no eye protection… please please please wear eye protection next time.
I love it. ❤️
Nice job looks great!
3:26..CUTTING CORNERS BY NOT WEARING YOUR SAFETY GLASSES IS FOOLISH MY GIRL
How will you clean all the grease from it? You won’t be able. A very bad choice for kitchen. Otherwise nice work just in the wrong place.
You need to wear PPE when cutting any materials. Your eyes, lungs and skin will absorb the dust particles from cutting the tiles.
How do you keep them shits clean? Just dust them once in awhile?
This was helpful for me learning ledger stone. You should check out my tile videos. Please drop a comment and let me now what I should improve.
How heavy are these panels? I got one to try to patch my wall where a tv mount was installed but it feels so heavy. Around 12-15 lbs a panel. Is it safe to install directly onto drywall at that weight?
Thumbs up!
Nice
Excellent video 👏👏
Like the piping of sand grout in spaces
Good job !!
So much work and such a great job going over everything dear… but wall board is not the best choice for a heavy tile like thatl…hardy backerboard or fiber reinforced cement panel would be better. It’s in the tile section. Drywall might hold because it shouldnt get too wet … it’s okay when they start falling off you can just use an angle grinder to get off all that mortar and then put your hardy bakerboard then retile
Great job. Wear goggles next time. 😉
Looks great. I wonder if metal out let covers would look better then plastic.
Nice job. You explained it very well and the installation steps seems very doable for any DIYer. Thank you!!
Go to the river bed and get river rocks.
Thank you for the video I just finished my backsplash and followed your video and it turned out great thanks for the help
Nice job
Is it on drywall??
This is the best instructional video on tiling a backsplash on YT that I’ve seen. Thank you!
As a Tile installer , I have to say , amazing job. Congratulations.
Beautiful job! I am getting ready to do this behind my woodstove and you answered every one of my questions!
That look horrible, with the lighting looks like 2 different color tiles.
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.
It’s amazing! I’m inspired!
Great job! I truly love it . Can you tell me what the color code is for the cabinets? Lowe’s I’m assuming as well??
Thank you !
What kind of tile saw did you use for this?
Looks great but it will be hard to clean around stove area grease and oil
Should the corners not be interlocked so there’s not a continuous line
That looks amazing, but I imagine it’s also very difficult to keep clean.
Beautiful job !!
SAFETY GOGGLES!!!
Nice job
Use clear silicone, looks more natural
If you are a cleaning fanatic then do not use stone as a backsplash for your kitchen or your life will be a nightmare
It looks beautiful!
I’m considering doing this to my kitchen. How is it holding up? My biggest concern is cleaning it! lol If you had to do it again, would you still go with that style of tile?
I would put tape over the plugs to keep thin set out.
We are getting ready to install the same stone (different color) for our backsplash. This was an EXCELLENT explanation on how to install. Thank you for posting this!
Great job ma’am
good job looks real nice
I absolutely love it

What kind of stone color is this?
Looks great. Going back and forth between this or brick.
