Why is backsplash different in South County San Diego?
South County kitchen backsplash tile in Chula Vista, National City, and San Ysidro frequently incorporates talavera, Saltillo, and hand-painted tile that reflects the Mexican-American design influence in this part of San Diego County. These decorative tiles require a setter who understands how to lay out an irregular or hand-painted pattern so the focal tiles fall at the right points in the layout. Ordering extra tile is especially important with handmade and hand-painted tile because exact color and pattern matches from later production runs are not always possible.
What's included in backsplash in Chula Vista?
- Prepare the wall surface, including skim-coating high spots, priming unpainted drywall, and confirming the substrate is appropriate for tile
- Lay out the tile pattern to center the field on the focal point of the wall, avoiding slivers at corners and windows
- Cut tiles cleanly around outlets, switches, windows, and under-cabinet lighting without chipping the face
- Set tile using the correct adhesive for the tile type and substrate, covering the back fully to prevent hollow spots
- Grout in the specified color and width, and caulk the tile-to-counter joint and inside corners
- Clean the finished surface and seal natural stone or porous tile on request
