Pro tip: that $70 peel and stick backsplash tile in my rental kitchen started curling at week 3
So here's my debate for you all: is peel and stick tile actually a money saver or just a big lie we all fall for? I put about $70 of it up in my rental kitchen back in March because my landlord said no to real tile, and by week 3 the corners over the stove were lifting and the grout lines were collecting grease. I lost most of a Saturday getting it up and about $40 of it went straight in the trash, so call it $70 plus a day shot. Half the folks I know swear by it for quick flips, and the other half say it's fake tile that fools nobody past the open house. Me, I think heat is the killer and nobody mentions it. Do you all back peel and stick for cheap fixes or is it just a trap for renters like me?
