This past weekend we started on our kitchen backsplash project.
Remove granite backsplash gap.
How to remove granite backsplash easily.
Remove the granite backsplash with a heat gun shims and a hammer.
The thing that is somewhat out of our control are the gaps especially in the high bar where the granite comes into the first backsplash which is the lower part of the gap.
Caulk normally used would not work because it s too large a gap.
A pencil tile trim would cover the gap.
If cabinets above the backsplash limit the room you have to swing the hammer angle the putty knife and wedge a corner of the blade into the space between the backsplash and.
So today i want to share.
We can control the gap a little bit by shimming up and closing it to a recognizable size to where you wouldn t feel like it s weird.
Just to make a note i was only removing the backsplash to put new backsplash up.
I was very nervous at first because this was new to me but it was much easier than i thought.
Big box stores have them.
During this reno we also had to remove the 4 granite backsplash from the wall.
Cover the surfaces near the backsplash with a drop cloth as there will be plenty of falling mortar and possibly sharp pieces of granite falling as you remove the tiles.
