DIY Solid Glass Backsplash

A glass backsplash gives your kitchen a sleek, modern look while remaining easy to clean. The glass can be clear to show off the color of your walls or clouded to hide the walls behind them. Having the glass precut to the proper size makes installing the backsplash even easier. A glass backsplash works best with a built-in stove that's flush with the wall and countertops.

Instructions

    • 1

      Measure the length and width of the area behind your stove and order precut glass to fit the measurements. Order the glass with smooth edges to avoid cutting yourself.

    • 2

      Clean the wall with the cloth and dish soap to remove any grease or food. Scrub the wall well and rinse with water. Dry the wall completely with the towel.

    • 3

      Apply clear glass glue evenly to the back of the glass panel.

    • 4

      Fit the panel against the wall and press it in place. Hold the panel in place for three to five minutes until it’s stable. Caulk around all edges of the glass backsplash.

      Allow the glue and caulk to dry completely, about one to two hours, before you cook in the kitchen.
